* Staging: batman-adv: count batman_if list queries as referenceSven Eckelmann2010-09-201-10/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The return of get_batman_if_by_netdev and get_active_batman_if leaks a pointer from the rcu protected list of interfaces. We must protect it to prevent a too early release of the memory. Those functions must increase the reference counter before rcu_read_unlock or it may be to late to prevent a free. hardif_add_interface must also increase the reference count for the returned batman_if to make the behaviour consistent.

* Staging: batman-adv: multiple mesh cloudsMarek Lindner2010-09-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Lindner2010-09-051-34/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: layer2 unicast packet fragmentationAndreas Langer2010-09-051-0/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a simple layer2 fragmentation to allow traffic exchange over network interfaces with a MTU smaller than 1500 bytes. The fragmentation splits the big packets into two parts and marks the frames accordingly. The receiving end buffers the packets to reassemble the orignal packet before passing it to the higher layers. This feature makes it necessary to modify the batman-adv encapsulation for unicast packets by adding a sequence number, flags and the originator address. This modifcation is part of a seperate packet type for fragemented packets to keep the original overhead as low as possible. This patch enables the feature by default to ensure the data traffic can travel through the network. But it also prints a warning to notify the user about the performance implications. Note: Fragmentation should be avoided at all costs since it has a dramatic impact on the performance, especially when it comes wifi networks. Instead of a single packet, 2 packets have to be sent! Not only valuable airtime is wasted but also packetloss decreases the throughput. A link with 50% packetloss and fragmentation enabled is pretty much unusable.

* Staging: batman-adv: move queue counters into bat_privSimon Wunderlich2010-09-051-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Add bonding functionalitySimon Wunderlich2010-06-221-0/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces bonding functionality to batman-advanced, targeted for the 0.3 release. As we are able to route the payload traffic as we want, we may use multiple interfaces on multihomed hosts to transfer data to achieve higher bandwidth. This can be considered as "light Multi Path Routing" for single hop connections. To detect which interfaces of a peer node belong to the same host, a new flag PRIMARIES_FIRST_HOP is introduced. This flag is set on the first hop of OGMs of the primary (first) interface, which is broadcasted on all interfaces. When receiving such an OGM, we can learn which interfaces belong to the same host (by assigning them to the primary originator). Bonding works by sending packets in a round-robin fashion to the available interfaces of a neighbor host, if multiple interfaces are available. The neighbor interfaces should be almost equally good to reach. To avoid interferences (i.e. sending on the same channel), only neighbor interfaces with different mac addresses and different outgoing interfaces are considered as candidates. Bonding is deactivated by default, and can be activated by echo 1 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/bonding for each individual node.

* Staging: batman-adv: move /proc interface handling to /sysMarek Lindner2010-05-111-0/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having a single /proc file "interfaces" in which you have to echo the wanted interface batman-adv will create a subfolder in each suitable /sys/class/net folder. This subfolder contains files for the interface specific settings. For example, mesh_iface to add/remove an interface from a virtual mesh network (at the moment only bat0 is supported). Example: echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface to deactivate: echo none > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman-adv/mesh_iface Interfaces which are not compatible with batman-adv won't contain the batman-adv folder, therefore can't be activated. Not supported are: loopback, non-ethernet, non-ARP and virtual mesh network interfaces 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>
