  To: b.a.t.m.a.n

This series of patches contains the changes for the redesigned
bridge loop avoidance. The general concept is described in the wiki
[1]. I've already performed a few testcases [2] which worked fine in
my kvm environment. No crashes while running or unloading the
extension either.

This is the fourth version of the patchset, rebased on the master and
including the TT changes after the discussion with Antonio to get the
flags straight (see [3]):

 * Roaming flag should only be set when the last entry moved
 * clean up tt_global_add()
 * remove (debug) crc global computation - it breaks more than it helps
 * add debug message when committed locally

Cheers,
        Simon


The git repositories can be found on git.open-mesh.org:
 * blaII_rebase branch [4] contains the latest patchset
 * blaII_rebase_rework branch [5] contains the latest patchset with individual patches from v2
 * blaII branch in batctl [6] contains the batctl changes


Cheers,
        Simon

The functionality is to be replaced by an improved implementation,
so first clean up.

From: Simon Wunderlich @ 2012-01-22 19:00 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: b.a.t.m.a.n

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).

By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:

node1  <-- LAN  -->  node2
  |                   |
wifi   <-- mesh -->  wifi

Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.

With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.

[2011-10-27] Changes suggested by Marek Lindner:

 * move claim types into packet.h
 * uint16_t -> short for vid in compare_*
 * remove refcount debugging
 * add comments to spinlocks to silence checkpatch --strict
 * move hardif_free_ref at the end of the function in bla_send_claim()
 * bla_del_claim(): move free ref up to make it more clear why we free
 * the reference
 * bla_purge_claims() does not need spinlock
 * move rcu_read_lock() more into the loops

[2011-10-27] add a type for the bla destinations
[2011-10-30] Changes suggested by Marek Lindner:

 * add BLA_CRC_INIT to show more visibly the initializiation of the CRC
 * put own_orig into bat_priv instead using a function which needlessly
   copies around
 * update backbone gws when primary if address changes
 * add bla_send_announce() as own function for readability
 * fix some comments
 * give hw_src and hw_dst as parameter in handle_*() and
   check_claim_group() to avoid code duplicates
 * change various debugging code
 * replace add_own_claim and del_own_claim with handle_claim() and
   handle_unclaim() to reduce code size
 * pimp up claim table debugfs output

VLAN fixes:
 * reset skb_mac_header(), it might not be set when its a VLAN frame
 * always become a backbone gw for a VLAN when there is traffic,
   even if there are no claims, to let at least let other backbone gw
   nodes that we are able to receive on that VLAN and avoid broadcast
   loops.

[2011-11-04] Changes from mailing list suggestions and clean up:
 * make bla sparse clean
 * check for hash_add()
 * check bla_get_backbone_gw()
 * shorten announce_mac[]
 * always use ETH_ALEN
 * fix debug message
 * don't change comment in batman_skb_recv()
 * split choose_claim/choose_backbone_gw
 * remove primary_if address caching
 * fix forgotten backbone_gw_free_ref() and error checking
 * return 1 (handled) when there was an error in handle_claim()
 * unify bla_free() with the purge_* functions
 * call purge when (re)starting with a new primary interface

[2011-12-27] Changes from discussion:
 * fix alignments
 * use has_timed_out
 * turn bla off by default
 * fix pskb_may_pull()

as backbone gateways will all independently announce the same clients,
also the tt global table must be able to hold multiple originators per
client entry.

[2011-10-30] recalculate global crc in any case:

 this should not be required, but the crc diverges for some reason.
 Need to dig into this further ...

[2011-12-27] fix alignment

[2012-01-16] Changes after discussion with Antonio:

  * Roaming flag should only be set when the last entry moved
  * clean up tt_global_add()

[2012-01-22] Changes after local testing:

 * remove (debug) crc global computation - it breaks more than it helps
 * add debug message when committed locally

When multiple backbone gateways relay the same broadcast from the
backbone into the mesh, other nodes in the mesh may receive this
broadcast multiple times. To avoid this, the crc checksums of
received broadcasts are recorded and new broadcast packets with
the same content may be dropped if received by another gateway.

backbone gateways may be part of the same LAN, but participate
in different meshes. With this patch, backbone gateways form groups by
applying the groupid of another backbone gateway if it is higher. After
forming the group, they only accept messages from backbone gateways of
the same group.

  To: b.a.t.m.a.n

The define CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_BLA switches the bridge loop avoidance
on - skip it, and the bridge loop avoidance is not compiled in.

This is useful if binary size should be saved or the feature is
not needed.
