batman-adv: Drop immediate orig_node free function

2016-01-31T19:25:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 42eff6a617e23b691f8e4467f4687ed7245a92db ] It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore. But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions have to use batadv_orig_node_free_ref.

batman-adv: Avoid recursive call_rcu for batadv_nc_node

2016-01-31T19:25:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 44e8e7e91d6c7c7ab19688750f7257292640d1a0 ] The batadv_nc_node_free_ref function uses call_rcu to delay the free of the batadv_nc_node object until no (already started) rcu_read_lock is enabled anymore. This makes sure that no context is still trying to access the object which should be removed. But batadv_nc_node also contains a reference to orig_node which must be removed. The reference drop of orig_node was done in the call_rcu function batadv_nc_node_free_rcu but should actually be done in the batadv_nc_node_release function to avoid nested call_rcus. This is important because rcu_barrier (e.g. batadv_softif_free or batadv_exit) will not detect the inner call_rcu as relevant for its execution. Otherwise this barrier will most likely be inserted in the queue before the callback of the first call_rcu was executed. The caller of rcu_barrier will therefore continue to run before the inner call_rcu callback finished.

[ Upstream commit 63b399272294e7a939cde41792dca38c549f0484 ] The batadv_claim_free_ref function uses call_rcu to delay the free of the batadv_bla_claim object until no (already started) rcu_read_lock is enabled anymore.

batman-adv: Add lower layer needed_(head|tail)room to own ones

2015-08-27T18:15:34+00:00

The maximum of hard_header_len and maximum of all needed_(head|tail)room of all slave interfaces of a batman-adv device must be used to define the batman-adv device needed_(head|tail)room. This is required to avoid too small buffer problems when these slave devices try to send the encapsulated packet in a tx path without the possibility to resize the skbuff.

batman-adv: don't access unregistered net_device object

2015-08-27T18:15:33+00:00

In batadv_hardif_disable_interface() there is a call to batadv_softif_destroy_sysfs() which in turns invokes unregister_netdevice() on the soft_iface. After this point we cannot rely on the soft_iface object anymore because it might get free'd by the netdev periodic routine at any time. For this reason the netdev_upper_dev_unlink(.., soft_iface) call is moved before the invocation of batadv_softif_destroy_sysfs() so that we can be sure that the soft_iface object is still valid.
