[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: Snoop DHCPACKs for DAT

[Linus Lüssing]

In a typical mesh network, when a new client connects then it will
usually first try to grab an IPv4 address via DHCP. Afterwards in
public mesh networks a client will try to contact the internet over
the server.

While the IPv4 address of the DHCP-Server is usually well propagated
in the DHT, the IPv4 address of a newly joining client is not.

This can lead to a considerable amount of ARP broadcasts not caught
by DAT from the servers.

In a 1000 nodes mesh network (Freifunk Hamburg) we can still see
30KBit/s of ARP traffic (equalling about 25% of all layer two
specific overhead, remaining after some filtering) flooded through
the mesh. These 30KBit/s are mainly ARP Requests from the
gateways / DHCP servers.

Through snooping DHCPACKs we can actually learn about MAC/IP address
pairs without the need of any flooded ARP messages in advance. This
allows servers to fill their local DAT cache with according entries
before any communciation with a client can possibly have taken place.

Changes in RFC -> non-RFC

 * Added kerneldoc
 * Added Signed-off-by
 * More IP Header checks
   (iph->hlen considered, ip version checked, ...)
 * Parsing & checking DHCP Message Type Option,
   only snooping DHCPACKs now
 * Moved ethernet protocol check from batadv_dat_check_dhcp to
   batadv_dat_check_dhcp_ipudp
 * Removed buffer-length parameter from
   batadv_dat_dhcp_get_{yiaddr,chaddr}()
 * Renamed batadv_dat_put() to batadv_dat_put_pairs()

vlan_insert_tag can return NULL when an error happens. Thus simply doing
a skb_reset_mac_header on it without checking skb's value for !NULL is a
bad idea.

But you can simply move the skb_reset_mac_header (when it is really
necessary) in front of the 'if (vid & BATADV_VLAN_HAS_TAG)'.

Doing it in front would result in (written as absolute values - in
reality mac_header is an offset):

    skb->mac_header = skb->data
    skb->data -= VLAN_HLEN
    skb->mac_header -= VLAN_HLEN

Writing it after the vlan_insert_tag would result in:

    skb->data -= VLAN_HLEN
    skb->mac_header -= VLAN_HLEN
    skb->mac_header = skb->data

Both calculations should result in skb->mac_header == skb->data

Kind regards,
	Sven
