This doesn't change the problem that it is already that way. This patch

This doesn't change the problem that it is already that way. This patch
only adds the list of available files to the README.

Sure. Just found out you did it like that. Therefore I commented. I
suggest to rework the api to use genl entirely.

Fair enough, I have added it to the issue tracker [1].

It seems there is no easy way to drop support for modifying batman-adv
attributes of the interface or its ports via sysfs in the near
future. But disallowing sysfs for new attributes might be a viable
policy.

Kind regards,

Hi Jiri,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Could you explain a bit more on which disadvantages you see in
the usage of sysfs here?

The next patch with a similar problem would be 
https://patchwork.open-mesh.org/patch/17372/. It is rather important that you 
are discussing this with Linus Luessing and Marek Lindner.

There are 2 major disadvantages.
1) You don't have any events on a change. An app has to poll in order to
   know what changed in kernel. Netlink handles this by sending
   multicast messages on a specific socket while whoever is interested
   gets the messages.
2) In sysfs, everything is string. There are even mixed values like
   "1 (means something)". There are no well defined values. Every driver
   can expose same things differently. In Netlink, you have well-defined
   attributes, with typed values. You can pass multiple attributes for
   the same value if needed.

In general, usage of sysfs in netdev subsystem is frowned upon. I would
suggest to convert your iface to Generic Netlink API and let the
existing sysfs API to rot.

Do you have any pointer about where this discussion took place? I
imagine it happened in conjunction with some patches intended to other
drivers/netdev changes.

Reading that could give us a sense of how strict/important/severe this
decision was and how to prioritize future work.

I am asking because we have been working on a new feature since several
months and this feature introduces a new sysfs knob.

Now, although I understand the recommendation of switching to netlink, I
find it a bit impractical to delay a new (and fairly big) feature,
simply because it uses a potentially obsolete, but current, API.

Any opinion about this?


Thanks a lot

I agree, that does not make sense.

I just wanted you to consider introducing netlink iface and migrate to
it as it is generally the preffered way to comunicate with userspace in
networking area (I don't have pointer any specific discussion though -
it is just a common knowledge :)). I will be more then happy to help you
with that. You should look at net/core/devlink.c and net/wireless/nl80211.c
to get some inspiration.

I agree, that does not make sense.

I just wanted you to consider introducing netlink iface and migrate to
it as it is generally the preffered way to comunicate with userspace in
networking area (I don't have pointer any specific discussion though -
it is just a common knowledge :)). I will be more then happy to help you
with that. You should look at net/core/devlink.c and net/wireless/nl80211.c
to get some inspiration.

Thanks for your reply, Jiri.

That's ok. I was asking because in the past batman-adv was using debugfs
for dealing with settings and we were (properly) redirected to sysfs by
David.
Now it seems we need to migrate to the next thing :-) So I just wanted
to be sure we have to do it, but this seems to be the case..

Actually we have already implemented a basic netlink API to be used when
sending information to userspace (i.e. routing tables, neighbour tables,
etc..), therefore I think we might be able to leverage on that.
But of course, any help will be appreciated :)

Thanks!

Yes, I see net/batman-adv/netlink.c. That looks fine. Shouldn't be hard
to migrate the existing sysfs things there and add new features.
Please don't forget to echo the configured options via netlink
notifications from the very beginning. Feel free to send me patches to
look at.

Thanks!

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@users.sourceforge.net>

The variables "tt_local_entry" and "tt_global_entry" were eventually
checked again despite of a corresponding null pointer test before.

* Avoid this double check by reordering a function call sequence
  and the better selection of jump targets.

* Omit the initialisation for these variables at the beginning then.

[PATCH 13/17] batman-adv: Remove needless init of variables on stack

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

Some variables are overwritten immediatelly in a functions. These don't
have to be initialized to a specific value on the stack because the value
will be overwritten before they will be used anywhere.

[PATCH 14/17] batman-adv: Use proper name for fragments list head

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The batman-adv codebase is using "list" for the list node (prev/next) and
<list content descriptor>+"_list" for the head of a list. Not using this
naming scheme can up in confusions because list_head is used for both the
head of the list and the list node (prev/next) in each item of the list.

[PATCH 15/17] batman-adv: Use proper name for gateway list head

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

The batman-adv codebase is using "list" for the list node (prev/next) and
<list content descriptor>+"_list" for the head of a list. Not using this
naming scheme can up in confusions when reading the code.

[PATCH 16/17] batman-adv: Use octal permissions instead of macros

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

Linus prefers to have octal permission numbers instead of combinations of
macro names ("random line noise"). Also old existing "bad symbolic
permission bit macro use" should be converted to octal numbers.
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CA+55aFw5v23T-zvDZp-MmD_EYxF8WbafwwB59934FV7g21uMGQ@mail.gmail.com)

Also remove the S_IFREG bit from the octal representation because it is
filtered out by debugfs_create.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 16/17] batman-adv: Use octal permissions instead of macros

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

Linus prefers to have octal permission numbers instead of combinations of
macro names ("random line noise"). Also old existing "bad symbolic
permission bit macro use" should be converted to octal numbers.
(http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CA+55aFw5v23T-zvDZp-MmD_EYxF8WbafwwB59934FV7g21uMGQ@mail.gmail.com)

Also remove the S_IFREG bit from the octal representation because it is
filtered out by debugfs_create.

[PATCH 17/17] batman-adv: Avoid precedence issues in macros

[Simon Wunderlich]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

It must be avoided that arguments to a macro are evaluated ungrouped (which
enforces normal operator precendence). Otherwise the result of the macro
is not well defined.

Curiosity:

in net/batman-adv/tp_meter.c

static int batadv_tp_send(void *arg)
{
	struct batadv_tp_vars *tp_vars = arg;
	struct batadv_priv *bat_priv = tp_vars->bat_priv;
	struct batadv_hard_iface *primary_if = NULL;
	struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node = NULL;
	size_t payload_len, packet_len;
	int err = 0;

	if (unlikely(tp_vars->role != BATADV_TP_SENDER)) {
		err = BATADV_TP_REASON_DST_UNREACHABLE;
		tp_vars->reason = err;
		goto out;
	}

	orig_node = batadv_orig_hash_find(bat_priv, tp_vars->other_end);
	if (unlikely(!orig_node)) {
		err = BATADV_TP_REASON_DST_UNREACHABLE;
		tp_vars->reason = err;
		goto out;
	}

	primary_if = batadv_primary_if_get_selected(bat_priv);
	if (unlikely(!primary_if)) {
		err = BATADV_TP_REASON_DST_UNREACHABLE;
		goto out;
	}

err is not used in the out block

Is the last if block supposed to set tp_vars->reason to err?

This seems to be unrelated to this patch.

But yes, looks to me like it is missing. Do you want to propose a patch or
should I do? Just make sure you Cc Antonio Quartulli <a@unstable.cc> (and of
course b.a.t.m.a.n@lists.open-mesh.org). He is the original author of
33a3bb4a3345 ("batman-adv: throughput meter implementation").

Kind regards,
	Sven

Kinda.  I was looking at how the one instance of
batadv_tp_is_error was used and it's in this file.

As you are working on this file, perhaps you should.
