commit ab92d68fc22f9afab480153bd82a20f6e2533769
"net: core: add generic lockdep keys"
but keeps the addr_list_lock_key because we still lock
addr_list_lock nestedly on stack devices, unlikely xmit_lock
this is safe because we don't take addr_list_lock on any fast
path.

The kernel provides a function to create random values from 0 - (max-1)
since commit f337db64af05 ("random32: add prandom_u32_max and convert open

A transmission scheduling for an interface which is currently dropped by
batadv_iv_ogm_iface_disable could still be in progress. The B.A.T.M.A.N. V
is simply cancelling the workqueue item in an synchronous way but this is
not possible with B.A.T.M.A.N. IV because the OGM submissions are
intertwined.
Instead it has to stop submitting the OGM when it detect that the buffer
pointer is set to NULL.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

The new CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST requires a condition statement in
(h)list_for_each_entry_rcu when the code might be executed in a non RCU
non-reader section with the writer lock. Otherwise lockdep might cause a
false positive warning like
=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
-----------------------------
translation-table.c:940 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
batman-adv is (mostly) following the examples from the RCU documentation
and is using the normal list-traversal primitives instead of the RCU
list-traversal primitives when the writer (spin)lock is held.
The remaining users of RCU list-traversal primitives with writer spinlock
have to be converted to the same style as the rest of the code.

The sysfs support in batman-adv is deprecated since a while and will be
removed completely next year.
All tools which were known to the batman-adv development team are
supporting the batman-adv netlink interface since a while. Thus
disabling CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_SYSFS by default should not cause problems on
most systems. It is still possible to enable it in case it is still
required in a specific setup.

The sparse commit 6002ded74587 ("add a flag to warn on casts to/from
bitwise pointers") introduced a check for non-direct casts from/to
restricted datatypes (when -Wbitwise-pointer is enabled).
This triggered various warnings in batman-adv when some (already big
endian) buffer content was casted to/from the corresponding big endian
integer data types. But these were correct and can therefore be marked with
__force to signalize sparse an intended cast from/to a bitwise type.

The distributed arp table is using a DHT to store and retrieve MAC address
information for an IP address. This is done using unicast messages to
selected peers. The potential peers are looked up using the IP address and
the VID.
While the IP address is always stored in big endian byte order, this is not
the case of the VID. It can (depending on the host system) either be big
endian or little endian. The host must therefore always convert it to big
endian to ensure that all devices calculate the same peers for the same
lookup data.

Some interface types could be nested.
(VLAN, BONDING, TEAM, MACSEC, MACVLAN, IPVLAN, VIRT_WIFI, VXLAN, etc..)
These interface types should set lockdep class because, without lockdep
class key, lockdep always warn about unexisting circular locking.
In the current code, these interfaces have their own lockdep class keys and
these manage itself. So that there are so many duplicate code around the
/driver/net and /net/.
This patch adds new generic lockdep keys and some helper functions for it.
This patch does below changes.
a) Add lockdep class keys in struct net_device
- qdisc_running, xmit, addr_list, qdisc_busylock
- these keys are used as dynamic lockdep key.
b) When net_device is being allocated, lockdep keys are registered.
- alloc_netdev_mqs()
c) When net_device is being free'd llockdep keys are unregistered.
- free_netdev()
d) Add generic lockdep key helper function
- netdev_register_lockdep_key()
- netdev_unregister_lockdep_key()
- netdev_update_lockdep_key()
e) Remove unnecessary generic lockdep macro and functions
f) Remove unnecessary lockdep code of each interfaces.
After this patch, each interface modules don't need to maintain
their lockdep keys.

Each slave interface of an B.A.T.M.A.N. IV virtual interface has an OGM
packet buffer which is initialized using data from netdevice notifier and
other rtnetlink related hooks. It is sent regularly via various slave
interfaces of the batadv virtual interface and in this process also
modified (realloced) to integrate additional state information via TVLV
containers.
It must be avoided that the worker item is executed without a common lock
with the netdevice notifier/rtnetlink helpers. Otherwise it can either
happen that half modified/freed data is sent out or functions modifying the
OGM buffer try to access already freed memory regions.

commit 174e23810cd31
("sk_buff: drop all skb extensions on free and skb scrubbing") made napi
recycle always drop skb extensions. The additional skb_ext_del() that is
performed via nf_reset on napi skb recycle is not needed anymore.
Most nf_reset() calls in the stack are there so queued skb won't block
'rmmod nf_conntrack' indefinitely.
This removes the skb_ext_del from nf_reset, and renames it to a more
fitting nf_reset_ct().
In a few selected places, add a call to skb_ext_reset to make sure that
no active extensions remain.
I am submitting this for "net", because we're still early in the release
cycle. The patch applies to net-next too, but I think the rename causes
needless divergence between those trees.

batadv_v_ogm_send_to_if() uses batadv_v_ogm_aggr_packet() to check if there
is another additional batadv_ogm2_packet in the skb or not before they
continue processing the packet.
The length for such an OGM2 is BATADV_OGM2_HLEN +
batadv_ogm2_packet->tvlv_len. The check must first check that at least
BATADV_OGM2_HLEN bytes are available before it accesses tvlv_len (which is

The multicast code uses the lists bat_priv->mcast.want_all_rtr*_list to
store all all originator nodes which don't have the flag no-RTR4 or no-RTR6
set. When an originator is purged, it has to be removed from these lists.
Since all entries without the BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR4/6 are stored in
these lists, they have to be handled like entries which have these flags
set to force the update routines to remove them from the lists when purging
the originator.
Not doing so will leave a pointer to a freed memory region inside the list.
Trying to operate on these lists will then cause an use-after-free error:

The strscpy was introduced to fix some API problems around strlcpy. And
checkpatch started to report recently that strlcpy is deprecated and
strscpy is preferred.
The functionality introduced in commit 30035e45753b ("string: provide
strscpy()") improves following points compared to strlcpy:
* it doesn't read from memory beyond (src + size)
* provides an easy way to check for destination buffer overflow
* robust against asynchronous source buffer changes
Since batman-adv doesn't depend on any of the previously mentioned behavior
changes, the usage of strlcpy can simply be replaced by strscpy to silence
checkpatch.

To be able to apply our group aware multicast optimizations to packets
with a scope greater than link-local we need to not only keep track of
multicast listeners but also multicast routers.
With this patch a node detects the presence of multicast routers on
its segment by checking if
/proc/sys/net/ipv{4,6}/conf/<bat0|br0(bat)>/mc_forwarding is set for one
thing. This option is enabled by multicast routing daemons and needed
for the kernel's multicast routing tables to receive and route packets.
For another thing if a bridge is configured on top of bat0 then the
presence of an IPv6 multicast router behind this bridge is currently
detected by checking for an IPv6 multicast "All Routers Address"
(ff02::2). This should later be replaced by querying the bridge, which
performs proper, RFC4286 compliant Multicast Router Discovery (our
simplified approach includes more hosts than necessary, most notably
not just multicast routers but also unicast ones and is not applicable
for IPv4).
If no multicast router is detected then this is signalized via the new
BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR4 and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR6
multicast tvlv flags.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
Because we don't care if debugfs works or not, this trickles back a bit
so we can clean things up by making some functions return void instead
of an error value that is never going to fail.
