      batman-adv: add wrapper function to throw uevent in userspace · c6bda689
      Antonio Quartulli 提交于
      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.

      batman-adv: improved client announcement mechanism · a73105b8
      Antonio Quartulli 提交于
      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.

      batman-adv: Avoid deadlock between rtnl_lock and s_active · 3a4375a9
      Sven Eckelmann 提交于
      The hard_if_event is called by the notifier with rtnl_lock and tries to
      remove sysfs entries when a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is received. This
      will automatically take the s_active lock.
      
      The s_active lock is also used when a new interface is added to a meshif
      through sysfs. In that situation we cannot wait for the rntl_lock before
      creating the actual batman-adv interface to prevent a deadlock. It is
      still possible to try to get the rtnl_lock and immediately abort the
      current operation when the trylock call failed.
