[Antonio Quartulli]

Hello David,

this is our first set of changes intended for net-next/linux-3.8.
Here you have a patch by Sven Eckelmann that introduces new lockdep classes for
batman-adv virtual interfaces. Then a patch by Simon Wunderlich that adds a
filter aimed to silently drop ECTP packets (we saw there are still some devices
sending them around and then creating problems to our bridge loop avoidance
mechanism).
The rest are cleanups, minor fixes and a small struct re-shaping.


Thank you very much,
		Antonio

[PATCH 01/16] batman-adv: use check_unicast_packet() in recv_roam_adv()

[Antonio Quartulli]

To avoid code duplication and to simplify further changes,
check_unicast_packet() is now used in recv_roam_adv() to check for not
well formed packets and so discard them.

[PATCH 06/16] batman-adv: Set special lockdep classes to avoid lockdep warning

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

Transmissions over batman-adv devices always start another nested transmission
over devices attached to the batman-adv interface. These devices usually use
the ethernet lockdep class for the tx_queue lock which is also set by default
for all batman-adv devices. Lockdep will detect a nested locking attempt of two
locks with the same class and warn about a possible deadlock.

This is the default and expected behavior and should not alarm the locking
correctness prove mechanism. Therefore, the locks for all netdevice specific tx
queues get a special batman-adv lock class to avoid a false positive for each
transmission.

[PATCH 07/16] batman-adv: Remove extra check in batadv_bit_get_packet

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

batadv_bit_get_packet checks for all common situations before it decides that
the new received packet indicates that the host was restarted. This extra
condition check at the end of the function is not necessary because this
condition is always true.

This patch addresses Coverity #712296: Logically dead code

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 07/16] batman-adv: Remove extra check in batadv_bit_get_packet

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

batadv_bit_get_packet checks for all common situations before it decides that
the new received packet indicates that the host was restarted. This extra
condition check at the end of the function is not necessary because this
condition is always true.

This patch addresses Coverity #712296: Logically dead code

[PATCH 11/16] batman-adv: properly store the roaming time

[Antonio Quartulli]

in case of a new global entry added because of roaming, the roam_at field must
be properly initiated with the current time. This value will be later use to
purge this entry out on time out (if nobody claims it). Instead roam_at field
is now set to zero in this situation leading to an immediate purging of the
related entry.

[PATCH 12/16] batman-adv: print packets re-routing on DBG_TT and ratelimit it

[Antonio Quartulli]

To simplify TranslationTable debugging it is better to print the packet
rerouting message on the DBG_TT log level. In this way a developer interested in
packets rerouting doesn't need to filter it out of the whole ROUTES log.

Moreover, since this message will appear for each rerouted message, it is now
"ratelimited".

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 12/16] batman-adv: print packets re-routing on DBG_TT and ratelimit it

[Antonio Quartulli]

To simplify TranslationTable debugging it is better to print the packet
rerouting message on the DBG_TT log level. In this way a developer interested in
packets rerouting doesn't need to filter it out of the whole ROUTES log.

Moreover, since this message will appear for each rerouted message, it is now
"ratelimited".

[PATCH 13/16] batman-adv: check for more space before accessing the skb

[Antonio Quartulli]

In batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() the code accesses both the unicast header and the
Ethernet header in the payload. For this reason pskb_may_pull() must be invoked
to check for the required space.

[PATCH 15/16] batman-adv: pass the WIFI flag from the local to global entry

[Antonio Quartulli]

in case of client roaming a new global entry is added while a corresponding
local one is still present. In this case the node can safely pass the WIFI flag
from the local to the global entry.

This change is required to let the AP-isolation correctly working in case of
roaming: if a generic WIFI client C roams from node A to B, A adds a global
entry for C without adding any WIFI flag. The latter will be set only later,
once A has received C's advertisement from B. In this time period the
AP-Isolation (if enabled) would not correctly work since C is not marked as
WIFI, so allowing it to communicate with other WIFI clients.

Re: [PATCH 16/16] batman-adv: add kernel-doc for enum batadv_dbg_level

[Walter Robert Ditzler]

hi batman list,

i recently saw there is a bounce of email in the batman community regarding
patches. is it safe and reliable to use the version from the open-mesh.org
site:

- inux 3.6 => batman-adv 2012.3.x (get batctl 2012.3.x from here)

for production use onto the following configuration:

os: debian 6.0.6
kernel: 3.6.3, batman activated
arch: geode lx and amd64

thanks for a brief answer.

walter

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 16/16] batman-adv: add kernel-doc for enum batadv_dbg_level

[Walter Robert Ditzler]

hi batman list,

i recently saw there is a bounce of email in the batman community regarding
patches. is it safe and reliable to use the version from the open-mesh.org
site:

- inux 3.6 => batman-adv 2012.3.x (get batctl 2012.3.x from here)

for production use onto the following configuration:

os: debian 6.0.6
kernel: 3.6.3, batman activated
arch: geode lx and amd64

thanks for a brief answer.

walter

Please don't reply to a random posts to start a new topic. And don't write to 
the Linux networking mailing list and the Linux networking maintainer David S. 
Miller when you actually want to ask the "b.a.t.m.a.n mailing list".

And yes, you will see patches going over this list the whole time. Either 
because somebody wants to get stuff integrated into some B.A.T.M.A.N. related 
project or because the patches were sent to our Linux networking god David S. 
Miller.

So nothing unusal happened.

Ehrm, ehrm, ehrm, ehrm, oehm, aehm.... I will not guarantee anything. It is 
safe to use this stuff until anyone proofed it otherwise. But we have some 
fixes in the maint branch which weren't released yet in form of 2012.3.1 or 
2012.4.0. But they are included in the stable releases of Linux 3.6.x

Now you baffled me completely. Linux 3.6.3 is the stable release which 
includes batman-adv 2012.3.0 + stable fixes. And you want to replace it with 
2012.3.0 without these stable fixes. Can you give me a reason why this sounded 
to you like a good idea? Even without these stable fixes... why would you 
replace the in-kernel module with the out-of-tree module of the same version?

Kind regards,
	Sven

I was wondering how you could possibly change the list of arguments to
these macros, yet avoid changing any of the users.

And sure enough it's because these macros are completely unused.

Please just remove them instead of changing their interfaces when no
users exist.

when this macro was introduced a user was going to be added as well, but then we
delayed some work and the user was not introduced anymore..

Yes, I will resend the pull request with a patch that removes this macro at all.
We will re-introduce it as soon as the user is ready too.
