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: split name from variable for uint mesh attributes

2015-06-07T15:07:18+00:00

Some mesh attributes are behind substructs in the batadv_priv object and for this reason the name cannot be used anymore to refer to them. This patch allows to specify the variable name where the attribute is stored inside batadv_priv instead of using the name Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner

batman-adv: Use kasprintf

2014-07-08T00:00:31+00:00

kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size calculation itself. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: // @@ expression a,flag; expression list args; statement S; @@ a = - $kmalloc\|kzalloc$(...,flag) + kasprintf(flag,args) <... when != a if (a == NULL || ...) S ...> - sprintf(a,args); // Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi Acked-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

batman-adv: Modified forwarding behaviour for multicast packets

2014-03-22T08:18:57+00:00

With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore, the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce unnecessary overhead: If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming from the upstream of this node... * ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the translation table, * ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested multicast listeners * ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

batman-adv: add isolation_mark sysfs attribute

2014-01-08T19:49:42+00:00

This attribute can be used to set and read the value and the mask of the skb mark which will be used to classify the source non-mesh client as ISOLATED. In this way a client can be advertised as such and the mark can potentially be restored at the receiving node before delivering the skb. This can be helpful for creating network wide netfilter policies. This sysfs file expects a string of the shape "$mark/$mask". Where $mark has to be a 32-bit number in any base, while $mask must be a 32bit mask expressed in hex base. Only bits in $mark covered by the bitmask are really stored.
