* batman-adv: improve unicast packet (re)routingAntonio Quartulli2012-05-134-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of a client X roaming from a generic node A to another node B, it is possible that a third node C gets A's OGM but not B's. At this point in time, if C wants to send data to X it will send a unicast packet destined to A. The packet header will contain A's last ttvn (C got A's OGM and so it knows it). The packet will travel towards A without being intercepted because the ttvn contained in its header is the newest for A. Once A will receive the packet, A's state will not report to be in a "roaming phase" (because, after a roaming, once A sends out its OGM, all the changes are committed and the node is considered not to be in the roaming state anymore) and it will match the ttvn carried by the packet. Therefore there is no reason for A to try to alter the packet's route, thus dropping the packet because the destination client is not there anymore. However, C is well aware that it's routing information towards the client X is outdated as it received an OGM from A saying that the client roamed away. Thanks to this detail, this patch introduces a small change in behaviour: as long as C is in the state of not knowing the new location of client X it will forward the traffic to its last known location using ttvn-1 of the destination. By using an older ttvn node A will be forced to re-route the packet. Intermediate nodes are also allowed to update the packet's destination as long as they have the information about the client's new location. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

* batman-adv: avoid temporary routing loops by being strict on forwarded OGMsMarek Lindner2012-05-112-29/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | batman-adv would forward OGMs from non-besthops while replacing the the TQ and TTL values with the values from the best hop. In certain corner cases this leads to a temporary routing loop. This patch changes this behavior: Only packets from best next hops are forwarded - TQ and TTL values won't be replaced anymore. However, the protocol needs to rebroadcast OGMs from single hop neighbors regardless of whether or not they are the best hop. To handle this case a new flag is introduced to alert neighboring nodes about the forwarded OGM that is not from my best next hop. It is to be discarded by all nodes except for the one originating the OGM.

* batman-adv: Adding hard_iface specific sysfs wrapper macros for UINTLinus Luessing2012-05-111-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows us to easily add a sysfs parameter for an unsigned int later, which is not for a batman mesh interface (e.g. bat0), but for a common interface instead. It allows reading and writing an atomic_t in hard_iface (instead of bat_priv compared to the mesh variant). Developed by Linus during a 6 months trainee study period in Ascom (Switzerland) AG.

* batman-adv: skip the window protection test when the originator has no ↵Antonio Quartulli2012-04-181-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | neighbours When we receive an OGM from from a node for the first time, the last_real_seqno field of the orig_node structure has not been initialised yet. The value of this field is used to compute the current ogm-seqno window and therefore the protection mechanism will probably drop the packet due to an out-of-window error. To avoid this situation this patch adds a check to skip the window protection mechanism if no neighbour nodes have already been added. When the first neighbour node is added, the last_real_seqno field is initialised too. Reported-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

* batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance codeSimon Wunderlich2012-04-1113-10/+1422
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN). By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment: node1 <-- LAN --> node2 | | wifi <-- mesh --> wifi Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN. With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively avoided.
