* batman-adv: Disallow regular interface as mesh deviceSven Eckelmann2011-03-051-12/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | When trying to associate a net_device with another net_device which already exists, batman-adv assumes that this interface is a fully initialized batman mesh interface without checking it. The behaviour when accessing data behind netdev_priv of a random net_device is undefined and potentially dangerous.

* batman-adv: rename global if_list to hardif_listMarek Lindner2011-03-051-14/+14
| | | | | | | | Batman-adv works with "hard interfaces" as well as "soft interfaces". The new name should better make clear which kind of interfaces this list stores. Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
* batman-adv: separate ethernet comparing calls from hash functionsMarek Lindner2011-03-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | Note: The function compare_ether_addr() provided by the Linux kernel requires aligned memory. Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
* batman-adv: Correct rcu refcounting for batman_ifMarek Lindner2011-03-051-21/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount operations have to be atomic. Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
* batman-adv: protect bonding with rcu locksSimon Wunderlich2011-03-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | bonding / alternating candidates need to be secured by rcu locks as well. This patch therefore converts the bonding list from a plain pointer list to a rcu securable lists and references the bonding candidates.

* batman-adv: Remove declaration of batman_skb_recvSven Eckelmann2011-01-311-2/+9
| | | | | | | batman_skb_recv can be defined in hard-interface.c as static because it is never used outside of that file. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
* net: Add batman-adv meshing protocolSven Eckelmann2010-12-161-0/+651
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. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
