This patch reverts the folowing commits: commit 064ff66e "bonding: add missing netdev_update_lockdep_key()" commit 53d37497 "net: avoid updating qdisc_xmit_lock_key in netdev_update_lockdep_key()" commit 1f26c0d3 "net: fix kernel-doc warning in <linux/netdevice.h>" commit ab92d68f "net: core: add generic lockdep keys" but keeps the addr_list_lock_key because we still lock addr_list_lock nestedly on stack devices, unlikely xmit_lock this is safe because we don't take addr_list_lock on any fast path.

Some interface types could be nested. (VLAN, BONDING, TEAM, MACSEC, MACVLAN, IPVLAN, VIRT_WIFI, VXLAN, etc..) These interface types should set lockdep class because, without lockdep class key, lockdep always warn about unexisting circular locking. In the current code, these interfaces have their own lockdep class keys and these manage itself. So that there are so many duplicate code around the /driver/net and /net/. This patch adds new generic lockdep keys and some helper functions for it. This patch does below changes. a) Add lockdep class keys in struct net_device - qdisc_running, xmit, addr_list, qdisc_busylock - these keys are used as dynamic lockdep key. b) When net_device is being allocated, lockdep keys are registered. - alloc_netdev_mqs() c) When net_device is being free'd llockdep keys are unregistered. - free_netdev() d) Add generic lockdep key helper function - netdev_register_lockdep_key() - netdev_unregister_lockdep_key() - netdev_update_lockdep_key() e) Remove unnecessary generic lockdep macro and functions f) Remove unnecessary lockdep code of each interfaces. After this patch, each interface modules don't need to maintain their lockdep keys. Signed-off-by: NTaehee Yoo <ap420073@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

commit 174e2381 ("sk_buff: drop all skb extensions on free and skb scrubbing") made napi recycle always drop skb extensions. The additional skb_ext_del() that is performed via nf_reset on napi skb recycle is not needed anymore. Most nf_reset() calls in the stack are there so queued skb won't block 'rmmod nf_conntrack' indefinitely. This removes the skb_ext_del from nf_reset, and renames it to a more fitting nf_reset_ct(). In a few selected places, add a call to skb_ext_reset to make sure that no active extensions remain. I am submitting this for "net", because we're still early in the release cycle. The patch applies to net-next too, but I think the rename causes needless divergence between those trees.

The strscpy was introduced to fix some API problems around strlcpy. And checkpatch started to report recently that strlcpy is deprecated and strscpy is preferred. The functionality introduced in commit 30035e45 ("string: provide strscpy()") improves following points compared to strlcpy: * it doesn't read from memory beyond (src + size) * provides an easy way to check for destination buffer overflow * robust against asynchronous source buffer changes Since batman-adv doesn't depend on any of the previously mentioned behavior changes, the usage of strlcpy can simply be replaced by strscpy to silence checkpatch.

It is not necessary to hold the mla_lock spinlock during the whole multicast tt/tvlv worker callback. Just holding it during the checks and updates of the bat_priv stored multicast flags and mla_list is enough. Therefore this patch splits batadv_mcast_mla_tvlv_update() in two: batadv_mcast_mla_flags_get() at the beginning of the worker to gather and calculate the new multicast flags, which does not need any locking as it neither reads from nor writes to bat_priv->mcast. And batadv_mcast_mla_flags_update() at the end of the worker which commits the newly calculated flags and lists to bat_priv->mcast and therefore needs the lock.

While it can be slightly beneficial for the build performance to use forward declarations instead of includes, the handling of them together with changes in the included headers makes it unnecessary complicated and fragile. Just replace them with actual includes since some parts (hwmon, ..) of the kernel even request avoidance of forward declarations and net/ is mostly not using them in *.c file.

With this patch multicast packets with a limited number of destinations (current default: 16) will be split and transmitted by the originator as individual unicast transmissions. Wifi broadcasts with their low bitrate are still a costly undertaking. In a mesh network this cost multiplies with the overall size of the mesh network. Therefore using multiple unicast transmissions instead of broadcast flooding is almost always less burdensome for the mesh network. The maximum amount of unicast packets can be configured via the newly introduced multicast_fanout parameter. If this limit is exceeded distribution will fall back to classic broadcast flooding. The multicast-to-unicast conversion is performed on the initial multicast sender node and counts on a final destination node, mesh-wide basis (and not next hop, neighbor node basis).

The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client. The servers announce their forwarding bandwidth (download/upload) when the gw_mode server was selected. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the attributes: * u8 BATADV_ATTR_GW_MODE (0 == off, 1 == client, 2 == server) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_DOWN (in 100 kbit/s steps) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_UP (in 100 kbit/s steps) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_SEL_CLASS Signed-off-by: NSven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: NSimon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

The caller of ndo_start_xmit may not already have called skb_reset_mac_header. The returned value of skb_mac_header/eth_hdr therefore can be in the wrong position and even outside the current skbuff. This for example happens when the user binds to the device using a PF_PACKET-SOCK_RAW with enabled qdisc-bypass: int opt = 4; setsockopt(sock, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, &opt, sizeof(opt)); Since eth_hdr is used all over the codebase, the batadv_interface_tx function must always take care of resetting it.

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. By snooping DHCPACKs we can learn about MAC/IP address pairs in the DHCP range without relying on ARP. This patch is in preparation to eliminate the need for mesh wide message flooding for IPv4 address resolution. Also this allows to quickly update a MAC/IP pair at least in the DHT when DHCP reassigns an IP address to a new host.

The batadv interfaces are virtual interfaces which just tunnel the traffic over other ethernet compatible interfaces. It doesn't need serialization during the tx phase and is using RCU for most of its internal datastructures. Since it doesn't have actual queues which could be locked independently, the throughput gets significantly reduced by the extra lock in the core net code. 8 parallel TCP connections forwarded by an IPQ4019 based hardware over 5GHz could reach: * without LLTX: 349 Mibit/s * with LLTX: 563 Mibit/s Signed-off-by: NSven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: NSimon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

B.A.T.M.A.N. IV requires the number of rebroadcast from a neighboring originator. These statistics are gathered per interface which transmitted the OGM (and then received it again). Since an originator is not interface specific, a resizable array was used in each originator. This resizable array had an entry for each interface and had to be resizes (for all OGMs) when the number of active interface was modified. This could cause problems when a large number of interface is added and not enough continuous memory is available to allocate the array. There is already a per interface originator structure "batadv_orig_ifinfo" which can be used to store this information.

The function batadv_softif_vlan_get is responsible for adding new softif_vlan to the softif_vlan_list. It first checks whether the entry already is in the list or not. If it is, then the creation of a new entry is aborted. But the lock for the list is only held when the list is really modified. This could lead to duplicated entries because another context could create an entry with the same key between the check and the list manipulation. The check and the manipulation of the list must therefore be in the same locked code section.

eth_type_trans() internally calls skb_pull(), which does not adjust the skb checksum; skb_postpull_rcsum() is necessary to avoid log spam of the form "bat0: hw csum failure" when packets with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are received. Note that in usual setups, packets don't reach batman-adv with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (I assume NICs bail out of checksumming when they see batadv's ethtype?), which is why the log messages do not occur on every system using batman-adv.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Instead of using a private copy of struct net_device_stats in struct batadv_priv, use stats from struct net_device. Signed-off-by: NTobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch> Signed-off-by: NSven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: NSimon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

The ethtool code was spread in soft-interface.c. This makes reading the code and working on it unnecessary complicated. Having everything in a common place next to the other code which references it, makes it slightly easier.

The .get_settings function pointer and the related API was deprecated. Fortunately, batman-adv is a virtual interface and never provided any useful information via .get_settings. The stub can therefore be removed. This also avoids that incorrect information is shown in ethtool about the batadv interface.

batadv devices don't support msglevel. The ethtool stubs therefore returned that it isn't supported. But instead, the complete function can be dropped to avoid that bogus values are shown in ethtool.

The ethtool_ops of batman-adv never contained more than a stub for the get_link function pointer. It was always returning that a link exists even when the devices was not yet up and therefore nothing resampling a link could have been available. Instead use the ethtool helper which returns the current carrier state.

This patch refactors the num_packets counter of a forw_packet in the following three ways: 1) Removed dual-use of forw_packet::num_packets: -> now for aggregation purposes only 2) Using forw_packet::skb::cb::num_bcasts instead: -> for easier access in aggregation code later 3) make access to num_bcasts private to batadv_forw_packet_*() Signed-off-by: NLinus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue> [sven@narfation.org: Change num_bcasts to unsigned] Signed-off-by: NSven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: NSimon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
