* Staging: batman-adv: multiple mesh cloudsMarek Lindner2010-09-051-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes all remaining global variables and includes the necessary bits into the bat_priv structure. It is the last remaining piece to allow multiple concurrent mesh clouds on the same device. A few global variables have been rendered obsolete during the process and have been removed entirely.

* Staging: batman-adv: attach each hard-interface to a soft-interfaceMarek Lindner2010-09-051-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces the static bat0 interface with a dynamic/abstracted approach. It is now possible to create multiple batX interfaces by assigning hard interfaces to them. Each batX interface acts as an independent mesh network. A soft interface is removed once no hard interface references it any longer.

* Staging: batman-adv: Aggregate batman packets directly in skbSven Eckelmann2010-09-051-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All originator messages are send through aggregation buffers. Those buffers can directly be allocated as skb to reduce the cost of allocation an extra buffer and copying them to a new allocated skb directly before it gets send. Now only the skb must be cloned in case of send_packet_to_if as it gets called by send_packet for each interface. Non-primary ogms must not cloned at all because they will only send once and the forward_packet structure is freed by send_outstanding_bat_packet afterwards. Reported-by: David S.

* Staging: batman-adv: move queue counters into bat_privSimon Wunderlich2010-09-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to support multiple mesh devices later, we need to move global variables like the queues into corresponding private structs bat_priv of the soft devices. Note that this patch still has a lot of FIXMEs and depends on the global soft_device variable. This should be resolved later, e.g. by referencing the parent soft device in batman_if.

* Staging: batman-adv: 32bit sequence number and TTL for broadcastsSimon Wunderlich2010-06-221-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the sequence number range from 8 or 16 bit to 32 bit. This should avoid problems with the sequence number sliding window algorithm which we had seen in the past for broadcast floods or malicious packet injections. We can not assure 100% security with this patch, but it is quite an improvement over the old 16 bit sequence numbers: * expected window size can be increased (4096 -> 65536) * 64k packets in the right order would now be needed to cause a loop, which seems practically impossible. Furthermore, a TTL field has been added to the broadcast packet type, just to make sure. These changes required to increase the compatibility level once again.

* Staging: batman-adv: Limit queue lengths for batman and broadcast packetsSimon Wunderlich2010-05-111-1/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch limits the queue lengths of batman and broadcast packets. BATMAN packets are held back for aggregation and jittered to avoid interferences. Broadcast packets are stored to be sent out multiple times to increase the probability to be received by other nodes in lossy environments. Especially in extreme cases like broadcast storms, the queues have been seen to run full, eating up all the memory and triggering the infamous OOM killer. With the queue length limits introduced in this patch, this problem is avoided. Each queue is limited to 256 entries for now, resulting in 1 MB of maximum space available in total for typical setups (assuming one packet including overhead does not require more than 2000 byte). This should also be reasonable for smaller routers, otherwise the defines can be tweaked later. This third version of the patch does not increase the local broadcast sequence number when the queue is already full.

* Staging: batman-adv: convert multiple /proc files to use sysfsMarek Lindner2010-05-111-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the first patch in a series of patches which aim to convert all batman-adv /proc files to sysfs. To keep the changes in a digestable size it has been split up into smaller chunks. During the transition period batman-adv will use /proc as well as sysfs. As a first step the following files have been converted: aggregate_ogm, originators, transtable_global, transtable_local Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* Staging: batman-adv: Fix aggregation direct-link bugLinus Lüssing2010-05-111-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, neighbour's secondary interface OGMs can involuntarily piggyback on primary interface OGMs that arrived on the same secondary interface before. Secondary interface OGMs should NEVER leave their direct neighbour broadcast domain! This patch ensures that secondary interface OGMs can only be aggregated to other secondary interface OGMs. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* Staging: batman-adv: fix aggregation timing bugMarek Lindner2010-05-111-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | batman-adv aggregates routing packets to reduce the number of packets in the air. Every outgoing packet is compared with other packets in the buffer to determine whether it can be aggregated or not. Packets sent at a lower interval can be held back longer to maximize the aggregation. Due to insufficient checking batman-adv held back all packets for a certain time depending on its own lowest interval rate which slowed down all other nodes.

* Staging: batman-adv: receive packets directly using skbsSimon Wunderlich2010-03-031-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the (ugly and racy) packet receiving thread and the kernel socket usage. Instead, packets are received directly by registering the ethernet type and handling skbs instead of self-allocated buffers. Some consequences and comments: * we don't copy the payload data when forwarding/sending/receiving data anymore. This should boost performance. * packets from/to different interfaces can be (theoretically) processed simultaneously. Only the big originator hash lock might be in the way. * no more polling or sleeping/wakeup/scheduling issues when receiving packets * this might introduce new race conditions. * aggregation and vis code still use packet buffers and are not (yet) converted. * all spinlocks were converted to irqsave/restore versions to solve some lifelock issues when preempted. This might be overkill, some of these locks might be reverted later. * skb copies are only done if neccesary to avoid overhead performance differences: * we made some "benchmarks" with intel laptops. * bandwidth on Gigabit Ethernet increased from ~500 MBit/s to ~920 MBit/s * ping latency decresed from ~2ms to ~0.2 ms I did some tests on my 9 node qemu environment and could confirm that usual sending/receiving, forwarding, vis, batctl ping etc works.
