* Staging: batman-adv: attach each hard-interface to a soft-interfaceMarek Lindner2010-09-051-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Calculate hamming weight using optimized kernel functionsSven Eckelmann2010-09-051-10/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Kernighan algorithm is not able to calculate the number of set bits in parallel and the compiler cannot replace it with optimized instructions. The kernel provides specialised functions for each cpu which can either use a software implementation or hardware instruction depending on the target cpu. Reported-by: David S.

* Staging: batman-adv: add routing debug log accessible via debugfsMarek Lindner2010-07-081-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | All routing debug messages are saved in a ring buffer that can be read via the debugfs file "log". Note that CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG must be activated to have the debug logs compiled in.

* Staging: batman-adv: 32bit sequence number and TTL for broadcastsSimon Wunderlich2010-06-221-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Reorganize sequence number handlingSimon Wunderlich2010-05-111-23/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BATMAN and broadcast packets are tracked with a sequence number window of currently 64 entries to measure and avoid duplicates. Packets which have a sequence number smaller than the newest received packet minus 64 are not within this sequence number window anymore and are called "old packets" from now on. When old packets are received, the routing code assumes that the host of the originator has been restarted. This assumption however might be wrong as packets can also be delayed by NIC drivers, e.g. because of long queues or collision detection in dense WiFi? environments. This behaviour can be reproduced by doing a broadcast ping flood in a dense node environment. The effect is that the sequence number window is jumping forth and back, accepting and forwarding any packet (because packets are assumed to be "new") and causing loops. To overcome this problem, the sequence number handling has been reorganized. When an old packet is received, the window is reset back only once. Other old packets are dropped for (currently) 30 seconds to "protect" the new sequence number and avoid the hopping as described above. The reorganization brings some code cleanups (at least i hope you feel the same) and also fixes a bug in count_real_packets() which falsely updated the last_real_seqno for slightly older packets within the seqno window if they are no duplicates. This second version of the patch also fixes a problem where for seq_diff==64 bit_shift() reads from outside of the seqno window, and removes the loop for seq_diff == -64 which was present in the first patch. The third iteration also adds a window for the next expected sequence numbers. This minimizes sequence number flapping for packets with very big differences (e.g. 3 packets with seqno 0, 25000 and 50000 might still cause problems without this window).

B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. The networks may be wired or wireless. See http://www.open-mesh.org/ for more information and user space tools. This is the first submission for inclusion in staging.
