* staging: batman-adv: remove useless addr_to_string()Andy Shevchenko2010-10-201-10/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since all *printf() methods in the kernel understand '%pM' modifier the conversion to the string is useless beforehand. Additionally this patch decreases batman_if structure by 20 bytes.

* Staging: batman-adv: Remove unneeded rcu_read_lockSven Eckelmann2010-09-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Regions which do not use rcu functions don't need to protected by rcu_read_lock. If we want to protect data from being freed than it must be covered by the same read-side critical section or otherwise the grace period may already ended and freed the memory before we called rcu_read_lock again.

* Staging: batman-adv: Remove duplicate of attached device nameSven Eckelmann2010-09-051-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | batman_if has the name of the net_dev as extra string in its own structure, but also holds a reference to the actual net_device structure which always has the current name of the device. This makes it unneccessary and also more complex because we must update the name in situations when we receive a NETDEV_CHANGENAME event.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Add last-seen in originator tableLinus Lüssing2010-07-081-7/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, there is no easy/intuitive way to find out whether a node might have vanished. This commit adds the time when a node was last seen to the originator table output, so that a common user is able to tell whether a node might have gone without having to wait PURGE_TIMEOUT seconds until that node gets "garbe-collected". It also puts the the versioning information in an extra line, as the first one of this debug output would otherwise get too long.

* Staging: batman-adv: Add bonding functionalitySimon Wunderlich2010-06-221-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Reorganize sequence number handlingSimon Wunderlich2010-05-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* Staging: batman-adv: move /proc interface handling to /sysMarek Lindner2010-05-111-17/+176
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* Staging: batman-adv: receive packets directly using skbsSimon Wunderlich2010-03-031-7/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
