[ Upstream commit abd6360591d3f8259f41c34e31ac4826dfe621b8 ]
eth_type_trans() internally calls skb_pull(), which does not adjust the
skb checksum; skb_postpull_rcsum() is necessary to avoid log spam of the
form "bat0: hw csum failure" when packets with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are
received.
Note that in usual setups, packets don't reach batman-adv with
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (I assume NICs bail out of checksumming when they see
batadv's ethtype?), which is why the log messages do not occur on every
system using batman-adv. I could reproduce this issue by stacking
batman-adv on top of a VXLAN interface.

It is hard to understand why the refcnt is increased when it isn't done
near the actual place the new reference is used. So using kref_get right
before the place which requires the reference and in the same function
helps to avoid accidental problems caused by incorrect reference counting.

The function batadv_send_skb_unicast is not acquiring a reference for an
orig_node nor removing it from any datastructure. It still reduces the
reference counter for an object which is still in the hands of the caller.
This is confusing and can lead in the future to problems in the reference
handling of the caller function.

Postponing the removal of the interface breaks the expected behavior of
NETDEV_UNREGISTER and NETDEV_PRE_TYPE_CHANGE. This is especially
problematic when an interface is removed and added in quick succession.

The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for
throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to
approximate TCP behaviour.
It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with
cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window.
The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids
unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the
receiver abort the ongoing test.

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.

The current default settings for optional features in batman-adv seems to
be based around the idea that the user only compiles what he requires. They
will automatically enabled when they are compiled in. For example the
network coding part of batman-adv is by default disabled in the out-of-tree
module but will be enabled when the code is compiled during the module
build.
But distributions like Debian just enable all features of the batman-adv
kernel module and hope that more experimental features or features with
possible negative effects have to be enabled using some runtime
configuration interface.
The network_coding feature can help in specific setups but also has
drawbacks and is not disabled by default in the out-of-tree module.
Disabling by default in the runtime config seems to be also quite sane.
The bridge_loop_avoidance is the only feature which is disabled by default
but may be necessary even in simple setups. Packet loops may even be
created during the initial node setup when this is not enabled. This is
different than STP on bridges because mesh is usually used on Adhoc WiFi.
Having two nodes (by accident) in the same LAN segment and in the same mesh
network is rather common in this situation.

The default hop penalty is currently set to 15, which is applied like
that for multi interface devices (e.g. dual band APs). Single band
devices will still use an effective penalty of 30 (hop penalty + wifi
penalty).
After receiving reports of too long paths in mesh networks with dual
band APs which were fixed by increasing the hop penalty, we'd like to
suggest to increase that default value in the default setting as well.
We've evaluated that increase in a handful of medium sized mesh
networks (5-20 nodes) with single and dual band devices, with changes
for the better (shorter routes, higher throughput) or no change at all.
This patch changes the hop penalty to 30, which will give an effective
penalty of 60 on single band devices (hop penalty + wifi penalty).

When a VLAN interface (on top of batX) is removed and
re-added within a short timeframe TT does not have enough
time to properly cleanup. This creates an internal TT state
mismatch as the newly created softif_vlan will be
initialized from scratch with a TT client count of zero
(even if TT entries for this VLAN still exist). The
resulting TT messages are bogus due to the counter / tt
client listing mismatch, thus creating inconsistencies on
every node in the network
To fix this issue destroy_vlan() has to not free the VLAN
object immediately but it has to be kept alive until all the
TT entries for this VLAN have been removed. destroy_vlan()
still removes the sysfs folder so that the user has the
feeling that everything went fine.
If the same VLAN is re-added before the old object is free'd,
then the latter is resurrected and re-used.
Implement such behaviour by increasing the reference counter
of a softif_vlan object every time a new local TT entry for
such VLAN is created and remove the object from the list
only when all the TT entries have been destroyed.

With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which
have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets
to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too.
Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where
multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not
sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise:
MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism
for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2
querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not
going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according
to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers:
-----------------------------------------------------------
---------------
{Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener}
---------------
\ ^
-------
| br0 | < ???
-------
\
_-~---~_
_-~/ ~-_
~ batman-adv \-----{Sender}
\~_ cloud ~/
-~~__-__-~_/
I) MLDv1 Query: {Querier} -> flooded
II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier}
-> br0 cannot detect the {Listener}
=> Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all
detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers,
because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no
trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners.
Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the
according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

With this patch a node may additionally perform the dropping or
unicasting behaviour for a link-local IPv4 and link-local-all-nodes
IPv6 multicast packet, too.
The extra counter and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_UNSNOOPABLES flag is needed
because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a
bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its
multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6
link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2
and section 3).
Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure
a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to
break compatibility later.
Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible
to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will
always receive these ranges.

If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...
* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

If the soft interface of a node is not part of a bridge then a node
announces a new multicast TVLV: The existence of this TVLV
signalizes that this node is announcing all of its multicast listeners
via the translation table infrastructure.
