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: remove FSF address from GPL disclaimer

2014-01-08T19:49:39+00:00

As suggested by checkpatch, remove all the references to the FSF address since the kernel already has one reference in its documentation. In this way it is easier to update it in case of future changes. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner

batman-adv: add sysfs framework for VLAN

2013-10-19T15:28:42+00:00

Each VLAN can now have its own set of attributes which are exported through a new subfolder in the sysfs tree. Each VLAN created on top of a soft_iface will have its own subfolder. The subfolder is named "vlan%VID" and it is created inside the "mesh" sysfs folder belonging to batman-adv. Attributes corresponding to the untagged LAN are stored in the root sysfs folder as before. This patch also creates all the needed macros and data structures to easily handle new VLAN spacific attributes. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner

batman-adv: add per VLAN interface attribute framework

2013-10-19T15:28:08+00:00

Since batman-adv is now fully VLAN-aware, a proper framework able to handle per-vlan-interface attributes is needed. Those attributes will affect the associated VLAN interface only, rather than the real soft_iface (which would result in every vlan interface having the same attribute configuration). To make the code simpler and easier to extend, attributes associated to the standalone soft_iface are now treated like belonging to yet another vlan having a special vid. This vid is different from the others because it is made up by all zeros and the VLAN_HAS_TAG bit is not set. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner

batman-adv: Allow to use rntl_link for device creation/deletion

2013-03-27T09:27:34+00:00

The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove soft-interfaces is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to create new virtual interfaces. An additional interface though rtnl_link is introduced which provides easy device creation/deletion with tools like "ip": $ ip link add dev bat0 type batadv $ ip link del dev bat0 Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli

batman-adv: change interface_rx to get orig node

2012-08-23T12:20:22+00:00

In order to understand where a broadcast packet is coming from and use this information to detect not yet announced clients, this patch modifies the interface_rx() function by passing a new argument: the orig node corresponding to the node that originated the received packet (if known). This new argument if not NULL for broadcast packets only (other packets does not have source field). Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli
