Hi,

I would like to propose following changes for net-next-2.6/3.1. The
first part (1-4) are only only small cleanup patches. The last 8 patches
are related to Antonio Quartulli's research "Client announcement and
Fast roaming in a Layer-2 mesh network". The technical report isn't
published yet, but will hopefully follow soon. He tried to document all
important parts in some (unofficial) documents [1,2,3].

thanks,
	Sven

compare_orig is only used in context of orig_node which is managed
inside originator.c. It is not necessary to keep that function inside
the header originator.h.

interface_tx is not used outside of soft-interface.c and thus doesn't
need to be declared inside soft-interface.h

count_real_packets() in batman-adv assumes char is signed, and returns -1
through it:

net/batman-adv/routing.c: In function 'receive_bat_packet':
net/batman-adv/routing.c:739: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type

Use int instead.

char was used in different places to store information without really
using the characteristics of that data type or by ignoring the fact that
char has not a well defined signedness.

The amount of duplicated code in the receive and routing code can be
reduced when all headers provide the packet type, version and ttl in the
same first bytes.

From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.

The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.

It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
 - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
   connected clients)
 - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
   OGM losses

The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.

To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.

When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

  To: davem; +Cc: netdev, b.a.t.m.a.n

From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.

A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.

This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

From: Sven Eckelmann @ 2011-06-20 10:17 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: davem; +Cc: netdev, b.a.t.m.a.n

From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

Using throw_uevent() is now possible to trigger uevent signal that can
be recognised in userspace. Uevents will be triggered through the
/devices/virtual/net/{MESH_IFACE} kobject.

A triggered uevent has three properties:
- type: the event class. Who generates the event (only 'gw' is currently
  defined). Corresponds to the BATTYPE uevent variable.
- action: the associated action with the event ('add'/'change'/'del' are
  currently defined). Corresponds to the BATACTION uevent variable.
- data: any useful data for the userspace. Corresponds to the BATDATA
  uevent variable.

From: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org>

The gateway election mechanism has been a little revised. Now the
gw_election is trigered by an atomic_t flag (gw_reselect) which is set
to 1 in case of election needed, avoding to set curr_gw to NULL.

In case of new default gw, changing the default gw or deleting the default gw a
uevent is triggered with type=gw, action=add/change/del and
data={GW_ORIG_ADDRESS} (if any).
