| | * batman-adv: fix memory leak when dropping packet from other gatewayAndreas Pape2017-05-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The skb must be released in the receive handler since b91a2543b4c1 ("batman-adv: Consume skb in receive handlers"). Just returning NET_RX_DROP will no longer automatically free the memory. This results in memory leaks when unicast packets from other backbones must be dropped because they share a common backbone.

| | * batman-adv: Fix rx packet/bytes stats on local ARP replySven Eckelmann2017-05-191-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stats are generated by batadv_interface_stats and must not be stored directly in the net_device stats member variable. The batadv_priv bat_counters information is assembled when ndo_get_stats is called. The stats previously stored in net_device::stats is then overwritten. The batman-adv counters must therefore be increased when an ARP packet is answered locally via the distributed arp table.

| * | net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.David S. Miller2017-06-071-3/+2
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The wifi driver can decide to not provide parts of the station info. For example, the expected throughput of the station can be omitted when the used rate control doesn't provide this kind of information. The B.A.T.M.A.N.

* | batman-adv: decrease maximum fragment sizeMatthias Schiffer2017-05-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch the maximum fragment size is reduced from 1400 to 1280 bytes. Fragmentation v2 correctly uses the smaller of 1400 and the interface MTU, thus generally supporting interfaces with an MTU < 1400 bytes, too. However, currently "Fragmentation v2" does not support re-fragmentation. Which means that once a packet is split into two packets of 1400 + x bytes for instance and the next hop provides an interface with an even smaller MTU of 1280 bytes, then the larger fragment is lost. A maximum fragment size of 1280 bytes is a safer option as this is the minimum MTU required by IPv6, making interfaces with an MTU < 1280 rather exotic. Regarding performance, this should have no negative impact on unicast traffic: Having some more bytes in the smaller and some less in the larger does not change the sum of both fragments. Concerning TT, choosing 1280 bytes fragments might result in more TT messages than necessary when a large network is bridged into batman-adv. However, the TT overhead in general is marginal due to its reactive nature, therefore such a performance impact on TT should not be noticeable for a user.

| * batman-adv: handle race condition for claims between gatewaysAndreas Pape2017-03-221-4/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consider the following situation which has been found in a test setup: Gateway B has claimed client C and gateway A has the same backbone network as B. C sends a broad- or multicast to B and directly after this packet decides to send another packet to A due to a better TQ value. B will forward the broad-/multicast into the backbone as it is the responsible gw and after that A will claim C as it has been chosen by C as the best gateway. If it now happens that A claims C before it has received the broad-/multicast forwarded by B (due to backbone topology or due to some delay in B when forwarding the packet) we get a critical situation: in the current code A will immediately unclaim C when receiving the multicast due to the roaming client scenario although the position of C has not changed in the mesh. If this happens the multi-/broadcast forwarded by B will be sent back into the mesh by A and we have looping packets until one of the gateways claims C again. In order to prevent this, unclaiming of a client due to the roaming client scenario is only done after a certain time is expired after the last claim of the client. 100 ms are used here, which should be slow enough for big backbones and slow gateways but fast enough not to break the roaming client use case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If none of the backbone gateways in a bla setup has already knowledge of the mac address searched for in an incoming ARP request from the backbone an address resolution via the DHT of DAT is started. The gateway can send several ARP requests to different DHT nodes and therefore can get several replies.

If there is an entry in the local cache the gateway has already learned the requested address and there is no need to forward the additional reply to the backbone. Furthermore it is checked if this gateway has claimed the source of the ARP reply and only forwards it to the backbone if it has claimed the source or if there is no claim at all.

The latter often leads to problems when networks are incorrectly configured and don't use a common MTU. The sender could for example fragment a 1271 byte frame (plus external ethernet header (14) and batadv unicast header (10)) to fit in a 1280 bytes large MTU of the underlying link (max. 1294 byte frames). This would create a 1294 bytes large frame (fragment 2) and a 55 bytes large frame (fragment 1). The extra 54 bytes are the fragment header (20) added to each fragment and the external ethernet header (14) for the second fragment. Let us assume that the next hop is then not able to transport 1294 bytes to its next hop. The 1294 byte large frame will be dropped but the 55 bytes large fragment will still be forwarded to its destination. Or let us assume that the underlying hardware requires that each frame has a minimum size (e.g. 60 bytes). Then it will pad the 55 bytes frame to 60 bytes. The receiver of the 60 bytes frame will no longer be able to correctly assemble the two frames together because it is not aware that 5 bytes of the 60 bytes frame are padding and don't belong to the reassembled frame. This can partly be avoided by splitting frames more equally.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Declaring the factor is counter-intuitive, and people are prone to using small(-ish) values even when that makes no sense. Change the DECLARE_EWMA() macro to take the fractional precision, in bits, rather than a factor, and update all users. While at it, add some more documentation. Acked-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to split and transmit a unicast packet in 16 parts will fail for the final fragment: After having sent the 15th one with a frag_packet.no index of 14, we will increase the the index to 15 - and return with an error code immediately, even though one more fragment is due for transmission and allowed. Fixing this issue by moving the check before incrementing the index. While at it, adding an unlikely(), because the check is actually more of an assertion.

| * batman-adv: Fix double free during fragment merge errorSven Eckelmann2017-02-211-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function batadv_frag_skb_buffer was supposed not to consume the skbuff on errors. This was followed in the helper function batadv_frag_insert_packet when the skb would potentially be inserted in the fragment queue. But it could happen that the next helper function batadv_frag_merge_packets would try to merge the fragments and fail. This results in a kfree_skb of all the enqueued fragments (including the just inserted one). batadv_recv_frag_packet would detect the error in batadv_frag_skb_buffer and try to free the skb again. The behavior of batadv_frag_skb_buffer (and its helper batadv_frag_insert_packet) must therefore be changed to always consume the skbuff to have a common behavior and avoid the double kfree_skb.
