The translation table (global, local) is usually the part of batman-adv
which has the most dynamical allocated objects. Most of them
(tt_local_entry, tt_global_entry, tt_orig_list_entry, tt_change_node,
tt_req_node, tt_roam_node) are equally sized. So it makes sense to have
them allocated from a kmem_cache for each type.

This approach allowed a small wireless router (TP-Link TL-841NDv8; SLUB
allocator) to store 34% more translation table entries compared to the
current implementation.

The kobject_put is only removing the sysfs entry and corresponding entries

when a device is moved between two different network namespaces because
some of the sysfs files have to be removed first and then added again to

The legacy sysfs interface to modify interfaces belonging to batman-adv
is run inside a region holding s_lock. And to add a net_device, it has
to also get the rtnl_lock. This is exactly the other way around than in
other virtual net_devices and conflicts with netdevice notifier which
executes inside rtnl_lock.

The inverted lock situation is currently solved by executing the removal
of netdevices via workqueue. The workqueue isn't executed inside
rtnl_lock and thus can independently get the s_lock and the rtnl_lock.

But this workaround fails when the netdevice notifier creates events in
quick succession and the earlier triggered removal of a net_device isn't
processed in the workqueue before the adding of the new netdevice (with
same name) event is issued.

Instead the legacy sysfs interface store events have to be enqueued in
a workqueue to loose the s_lock. The worker is then free to get the
required locks and the deadlock is avoided.

When having skbs on ingress with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, tc BPF programs don't
push rcsum of mac header back in and after BPF run back pull out again as
opposed to some other subsystems (ovs, for example).

For cases like q-in-q, meaning when a vlan tag for offloading is already
present and we're about to push another one, then skb_vlan_push() pushes the
inner one into the skb, increasing mac header and skb_postpush_rcsum()'ing
the 4 bytes vlan header diff. Likewise, for the reverse operation in
skb_vlan_pop() for the case where vlan header needs to be pulled out of the
skb, we're decreasing the mac header and skb_postpull_rcsum()'ing the 4 bytes
rcsum of the vlan header that was removed.

However mangling the rcsum here will lead to hw csum failure for BPF case,
since we're pulling or pushing data that was not part of the current rcsum.
Changing tc BPF programs in general to push/pull rcsum around BPF_PROG_RUN()
is also not really an option since current behaviour is ABI by now, but apart
from that would also mean to do quite a bit of useless work in the sense that
usually 12 bytes need to be rcsum pushed/pulled also when we don't need to
touch this vlan related corner case. One way to fix it would be to push the
necessary rcsum fixup down into vlan helpers that are (mostly) slow-path
anyway.

bpf_skb_store_bytes() invocations above L2 header need BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM
flag for updates, so that CHECKSUM_COMPLETE will be fixed up along the way.
Where we ran into an issue with bpf_skb_store_bytes() is when we did a
single-byte update on the IPv6 hoplimit despite using BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM
flag; simple ping via ICMPv6 triggered a hw csum failure as a result. The
underlying issue has been tracked down to a buffer alignment issue.

Meaning, that csum_partial() computations via skb_postpull_rcsum() and
skb_postpush_rcsum() pair invoked had a wrong result since they operated on
an odd address for the hoplimit, while other computations were done on an
even address. This mix doesn't work as-is with skb_postpull_rcsum(),
skb_postpush_rcsum() pair as it always expects at least half-word alignment
of input buffers, which is normally the case. Thus, instead of these helpers
using csum_sub() and (implicitly) csum_add(), we need to use csum_block_sub(),
csum_block_add(), respectively. For unaligned offsets, they rotate the sum
to align it to a half-word boundary again, otherwise they work the same as
csum_sub() and csum_add().

Adding __skb_postpull_rcsum(), __skb_postpush_rcsum() variants that take the
offset as an input and adapting bpf_skb_store_bytes() to them fixes the hw
csum failures again. The skb_postpull_rcsum(), skb_postpush_rcsum() helpers
use a 0 constant for offset so that the compiler optimizes the offset & 1
test away and generates the same code as with csum_sub()/_add().

locations which need CHECKSUM_COMPLETE fixups on ingress.

For the same reasons as described in f8ffad69 already, we of course
also need this here, since dev_queue_xmit() on a veth device will let us
end up in the dev_forward_skb() helper again to cross namespaces.

Latter then calls into skb_postpull_rcsum() to pull out L2 header, so
that netif_rx_internal() sees CHECKSUM_COMPLETE as it is expected. That
is, CHECKSUM_COMPLETE on ingress covering L2 _payload_, not L2 headers.

Also here we have to address bpf_redirect() and bpf_clone_redirect().
