batman-adv: Make DAT capability changes atomic

2015-10-22T21:49:27+00:00

commit 65d7d46050704bcdb8121ddbf4110bfbf2b38baa upstream.

Bitwise OR/AND assignments in C aren't guaranteed to be atomic. One
OGM handler might undo the set/clear of a specific bit from another
handler run in between.

Fix this by using the atomic set_bit()/clear_bit()/test_bit() functions.

batman-adv: avoid DAT to mess up LAN state

2015-08-04T22:31:46+00:00

When a node running DAT receives an ARP request from the LAN for the
first time, it is likely that this node will request the ARP entry
through the distributed ARP table (DAT) in the mesh.

Once a DAT reply is received the asking node must check if the MAC
address for which the IP address has been asked is local. If it is, the
node must drop the ARP reply bceause the client should have replied on
its own locally.

Forwarding this reply means fooling any L2 bridge (e.g. Ethernet
switches) lying between the batman-adv node and the LAN. This happens
because the L2 bridge will think that the client sending the ARP reply
lies somewhere in the mesh, while this node is sitting in the same LAN.

batman-adv: Add required includes to all files

2015-06-07T15:07:19+00:00

The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is
happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used.
This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the
knowledge about the right order of local includes.

Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly.
Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is
problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on
config settings and may not be stable in the future.

The order for include blocks are:

 * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file)
 * global linux headers
 * required local headers
 * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations

The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h.
This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must
therefore build together with userspace applications. The header
linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h
conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The
maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus
these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have
to include main.h to work correctly.

batman-adv: Use common Jenkins Hash implementation

2015-06-07T15:07:17+00:00

An unoptimized version of the Jenkins one-at-a-time hash function is used
and partially copied all over the code wherever an hashtable is used.
Instead the optimized version shared between the whole kernel should be
used to reduce code duplication and use better optimized code.

Only the DAT code must use the old implementation because it is used as
distributed hash function which has to be common for all nodes.

net: add __pskb_copy_fclone and pskb_copy_for_clone

2014-06-11T22:38:02+00:00

There are several instances where a pskb_copy or __pskb_copy is
immediately followed by an skb_clone.

Add a couple of new functions to allow the copy skb to be allocated
from the fclone cache and thus speed up subsequent skb_clone calls.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/bonding/bond_alb.c
	drivers/net/ethernet/altera/altera_msgdma.c
	drivers/net/ethernet/altera/altera_sgdma.c
	net/ipv6/xfrm6_output.c

Several cases of overlapping changes.

The xfrm6_output.c has a bug fix which overlaps the renaming
of skb->local_df to skb->ignore_df.

In the Altera TSE driver cases, the register access cleanups
in net-next overlapped with bug fixes done in net.

Similarly a bug fix to send ALB packets in the bonding driver using
the right source address overlaps with cleanups in net-next.
