batman-adv: avoid DAT to mess up LAN state

2015-08-04T22:31:46+00:00

When a node running DAT receives an ARP request from the LAN for the first time, it is likely that this node will request the ARP entry through the distributed ARP table (DAT) in the mesh. Once a DAT reply is received the asking node must check if the MAC address for which the IP address has been asked is local. If it is, the node must drop the ARP reply bceause the client should have replied on its own locally. Forwarding this reply means fooling any L2 bridge (e.g. Ethernet switches) lying between the batman-adv node and the LAN. This happens because the L2 bridge will think that the client sending the ARP reply lies somewhere in the mesh, while this node is sitting in the same LAN.

batman-adv: Add required includes to all files

2015-06-07T15:07:19+00:00

The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used. This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the knowledge about the right order of local includes. Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly. Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on config settings and may not be stable in the future. The order for include blocks are: * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file) * global linux headers * required local headers * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h. This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must therefore build together with userspace applications. The header linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have to include main.h to work correctly.

batman-adv: Use common Jenkins Hash implementation

2015-06-07T15:07:17+00:00

An unoptimized version of the Jenkins one-at-a-time hash function is used and partially copied all over the code wherever an hashtable is used. Instead the optimized version shared between the whole kernel should be used to reduce code duplication and use better optimized code. Only the DAT code must use the old implementation because it is used as distributed hash function which has to be common for all nodes. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner

net: add __pskb_copy_fclone and pskb_copy_for_clone

2014-06-11T22:38:02+00:00

There are several instances where a pskb_copy or __pskb_copy is immediately followed by an skb_clone. Add a couple of new functions to allow the copy skb to be allocated from the fclone cache and thus speed up subsequent skb_clone calls.

The xfrm6_output.c has a bug fix which overlaps the renaming of skb->local_df to skb->ignore_df. In the Altera TSE driver cases, the register access cleanups in net-next overlapped with bug fixes done in net. Similarly a bug fix to send ALB packets in the bonding driver using the right source address overlaps with cleanups in net-next. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

batman-adv: fix local TT check for outgoing arp requests in DAT

2014-05-15T18:23:47+00:00

Change introduced by 88e48d7b3340ef07b108eb8a8b3813dd093cc7f7 ("batman-adv: make DAT drop ARP requests targeting local clients") implements a check that prevents DAT from using the caching mechanism when the client that is supposed to provide a reply to an arp request is local. However change brought by be1db4f6615b5e6156c807ea8985171c215c2d57 ("batman-adv: make the Distributed ARP Table vlan aware") has not converted the above check into its vlan aware version thus making it useless when the local client is behind a vlan. Fix the behaviour by properly specifying the vlan when checking for a client being local or not. Reported-by: Simon Wunderlich Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner
