* networking: convert many more places to skb_put_zero()Johannes Berg2017-06-161-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were many places that my previous spatch didn't find, as pointed out by yuan linyu in various patches.

* batman-adv: Accept only filled wifi station infoSven Eckelmann2017-06-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. V implementation must therefore check the filled bitfield before it tries to access the expected_throughput of the returned station_info.

* batman-adv: Cache the type of wifi device for each hardifSven Eckelmann2016-11-081-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | batman-adv is requiring the type of wifi device in different contexts. Some of them can take the rtnl semaphore and some of them already have the semaphore taken. But even others don't allow that the semaphore will be taken. The data has to be retrieved when the hardif is added to batman-adv because some of the wifi information for an hardif will only be available with rtnl lock. It can then be cached in the batadv_hard_iface and the functions is_wifi_netdev and is_cfg80211_netdev can just compare the correct bits without imposing extra locking requirements.

* batman-adv: split routing API data structure in subobjectsAntonio Quartulli2016-07-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The routing API data structure contains several function pointers that can easily be grouped together based on the component they work with. Split the API in subobjects in order to improve definition readability. At the same time, remove the "bat_" prefix from the API object and its fields names. These are batman-adv private structs and there is no need to always prepend such prefix, which only makes function invocations much much longer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The ELP interval and throughput override interface settings are initialized with default settings on every time an interface is added to a mesh.

* batman-adv: ELP - send unicast ELP packets for throughput samplingAntonio Quartulli2016-02-291-0/+69
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of an unused wireless link, the mac80211 throughput estimation won't get updated further. Consequently, the reported throughput metric will become obsolete. With this patch unicast sampling is introduced by periodically sending unicast ELP packets to each neighbor on idle WiFi links. These sampling packets will fill an entire frame, so that the measurement is as reliable as possible Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
* batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughputAntonio Quartulli2016-02-291-0/+140
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this case is used to iterate over all the neighbours). Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g. 100/10Mbps). The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent, this way it is possible to timely react to a metric variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour disconnection.

* batman-adv: keep track of when unicast packets are sentAntonio Quartulli2016-02-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To enable ELP to send probing packets over wireless links only if needed, batman-adv must keep track of the last time it sent a unicast packet towards every neighbour. For this purpose a 2 main changes are introduced: 1) a new member of the elp_neigh_node structure stores the last time a unicast packet was sent towards this neighbour; 2) a wrapper function for sending unicast packets is implemented. This function will simply update the member describe din point 1) and then forward the packet to the real sending routine. Point 2) implies that any code-path leading to a unicast sending now has to use the new wrapper.

* batman-adv: ELP - adding basic infrastructureLinus Luessing2016-02-291-0/+193
The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality information through the whole mesh. This procedure is summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in details in the RFC draft published in 2008. This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it also bears some drawbacks: * Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss, therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow a fast reaction on flaky connections. Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce overhead. * It generally is more desirable to detect local link quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of the mesh does not need to care about local link quality changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time. As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these link quality information and determining the overall path transmit qualities.
