2021-08-08batman-adv: Check ptr for NULL before reducing its refcntSven Eckelmann1-1/+15
The commit b37a46683739 ("netdevice: add the case if dev is NULL") changed the way how the NULL check for net_devices have to be handled when trying to reduce its reference counter. Before this commit, it was the responsibility of the caller to check whether the object is NULL or not. But it was changed to behave more like kfree. Now the callee has to handle the NULL-case. The batman-adv code was scanned via cocinelle for similar places. These were changed to use the paradigm @@ identifier E, T, R, C; identifier put; @@ void put(struct T *E) { + if (!E) + return; kref_put(&E->C, R); } Functions which were used in other sources files were moved to the header to allow the compiler to inline the NULL check and the kref_put call.

2021-06-02batman-adv: Drop implicit creation of batadv net_devicesSven Eckelmann1-2/+0
The sysfs code in batman-adv was could create a new batadv interfaces on demand when a string (interface name) was written to the batman-adv/mesh_iface file. But the code no longer exists in the current batman-adv codebase. The helper code to implement this behavior must be considered as unused and can be dropped.

2021-02-06batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright infoSven Eckelmann1-1/+1
The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next) as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity regarding the publishing year. This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple "update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead. More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the SCM system.

2019-05-25batman-adv: Use includes instead of fwdeclsSven Eckelmann1-4/+3
While it can be slightly beneficial for the build performance to use forward declarations instead of includes, the handling of them together with changes in the included headers makes it unnecessary complicated and fragile. Just replace them with actual includes since some parts (hwmon, ..) of the kernel even request avoidance of forward declarations and net/ is mostly not using them in *.c file.

2017-12-15batman-adv: Add SPDX license identifier above copyright headerSven Eckelmann1-0/+1
The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line). The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices requirements at the same time.

2016-05-10batman-adv: Use bool as return type for boolean functionsSven Eckelmann1-1/+2
It is easier to understand that the returned value of a specific function doesn't have to be 0 when the functions was successful when the actual return type is bool. This is especially true when all surrounding functions with return type int use negative values to return the error code.

2015-06-07batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann1-0/+11
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.

2013-10-19batman-adv: add sysfs framework for VLANAntonio Quartulli1-0/+3
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.

2013-10-19batman-adv: add per VLAN interface attribute frameworkAntonio Quartulli1-0/+1
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.

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).

2012-06-21batman-adv: Prefix soft-interface non-static functions with batadv_Sven Eckelmann1-7/+6
batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids such a problem.
