batman-adv uses internal indices for each enabled and active interface. It is currently used by the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV algorithm to identifify the correct position in the ogm_cnt bitmaps. The type for the number of enabled interfaces (which defines the next interface index) was set to char. This type can be (depending on the architecture) either signed (limiting batman-adv to 127 active slave interfaces) or unsigned (limiting batman-adv to 255 active slave interfaces). This limit was not correctly checked when an interface was enabled and thus an overflow happened. This was only catched on systems with the signed char type when the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV code tried to resize its counter arrays with a negative size. The if_num interface index was only a s16 and therefore significantly smaller than the ifindex (int) used by the code net code. Both &batadv_hard_iface->if_num and &batadv_priv->num_ifaces must be (unsigned) int to support the same number of slave interfaces as the net core code. And the interface activation code must check the number of active slave interfaces to avoid integer overflows. Fixes: c6c8fea2 ("net: Add batman-adv meshing protocol") Signed-off-by:

The header file is used by different userspace programs to inject packets or to decode sniffed packets. It should therefore be available to them as userspace header. Also other components in the kernel (like the flow dissector) require access to the packet definitions to be able to decode ETH_P_BATMAN ethernet packets. Signed-off-by:

The "Linux kernel licensing rules" require that each file has a SPDX license identifier as first line (and sometimes as second line). The FSFE REUSE practices [1] would also require the same tags but have no restrictions on the placement in the source file. Using the "Linux kernel licensing rules" is therefore also fulfilling the FSFE REUSE practices requirements at the same time. [1] https://reuse.software/practices/Signed-off-by:

Marek Lindner authored
In a few situations batman-adv tries to determine whether a given interface is a WiFi interface to enable specific WiFi optimizations. If the interface batman-adv has been configured with is a virtual interface (e.g. VLAN) it would not be properly detected as WiFi interface and thus not benefit from the special WiFi treatment. This patch changes that by peeking under the hood whenever a virtual interface is in play. Signed-off-by:

batman-adv is requiring the type of wifi device in different contexts. Some of them can take the rtnl semaphore and some of them already have the semaphore taken. But even others don't allow that the semaphore will be taken. The data has to be retrieved when the hardif is added to batman-adv because some of the wifi information for an hardif will only be available with rtnl lock. It can then be cached in the batadv_hard_iface and the functions is_wifi_netdev and is_cfg80211_netdev can just compare the correct bits without imposing extra locking requirements. Signed-off-by:

The commit 9799c503 ("batman-adv: fix splat on disabling an interface") fixed a warning but at the same time broke the rtnl function add_slave for devices which were temporarily removed. batadv_softif_slave_add requires soft_iface of and hard_iface to be NULL before it is allowed to be enslaved. But this resetting of soft_iface to NULL in batadv_hardif_disable_interface was removed with the aforementioned commit. Reported-by:

With this patch, (re)broadcasting on a specific interfaces is avoided: * No neighbor: There is no need to broadcast on an interface if there is no node behind it. * Single neighbor is source: If there is just one neighbor on an interface and if this neighbor is the one we actually got this broadcast packet from, then we do not need to echo it back. * Single neighbor is originator: If there is just one neighbor on an interface and if this neighbor is the originator of this broadcast packet, then we do not need to echo it back. Goodies for BATMAN V: ("Upgrade your BATMAN IV network to V now to get these for free!") Thanks to the split of OGMv1 into two packet types, OGMv2 and ELP that is, we can now apply the same optimizations stated above to OGMv2 packets, too. Furthermore, with BATMAN V, rebroadcasts can be reduced in certain multi interface cases, too, where BATMAN IV cannot. This is thanks to the removal of the "secondary interface originator" concept in BATMAN V. Signed-off-by:

As long as there is still a reference for a hard interface held, there might still be a forwarding packet relying on its attributes. Therefore avoid setting hard_iface->soft_iface to NULL when disabling a hard interface.

Switch-like virtual interfaces like bridge or openvswitch don't destroy itself when all their attached netdevices dissappear. Instead they only remove the link to the unregistered device and keep working until they get removed manually. This has the benefit that all configurations for this interfaces are kept and daemons reacting to rtnl events can just add new slave interfaces without going through the complete configuration of the switch-like netdevice. Handling unregister events of client devices similar in batman-adv allows users to drop their current workaround of dummy netdevices attached to batman-adv soft-interfaces. Signed-off-by:

batman-adv tries to prevent the user from placing a batX soft interface into another batman mesh as a hard interface. It does this by walking up the devices list of parents and ensures they are all none batX interfaces. iflink can point to an interface in a different namespace, so also retrieve the parents name space when finding the parent and use it when doing the comparison.

The routing API data structure contains several function pointers that can easily be grouped together based on the component they work with. Split the API in subobjects in order to improve definition readability. At the same time, remove the "bat_" prefix from the API object and its fields names. These are batman-adv private structs and there is no need to always prepend such prefix, which only makes function invocations much much longer. Signed-off-by:

The callers of the functions using batadv_hard_iface objects already make sure that they hold a valid reference. The subfunctions don't have to check whether the reference counter is > 0 because this was checked by the callers. The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem. Signed-off-by:

At the moment there is no explicit reactivation of an hard-interface upon NETDEV_UP event. In case of B.A.T.M.A.N. IV the interface is reactivated as soon as the next OGM is scheduled for sending, but this mechanism does not work with B.A.T.M.A.N. V. The latter does not rely on the same scheduling mechanism as its predecessor and for this reason the hard-interface remains deactivated forever after being brought down once. This patch fixes the reactivation mechanism by adding a new routing API which explicitly allows each algorithm to perform any needed operation upon interface re-activation. Such API is optional and is implemented by B.A.T.M.A.N. V only and it just takes care of setting the iface status to ACTIVE Signed-off-by:

The shutdown of an batman-adv interface can happen with one of its slave interfaces still being in the BATADV_IF_TO_BE_ACTIVATED state. A possible reason for it is that the routing algorithm BATMAN_V was selected and batadv_schedule_bat_ogm was not yet called for this interface. This slave interface still has to be set to BATADV_IF_INACTIVE or the batman-adv interface will never reduce its usage counter and thus never gets shutdown. This problem can be simulated via: $ modprobe dummy $ modprobe batman-adv routing_algo=BATMAN_V $ ip link add bat0 type batadv $ ip link set dummy0 master bat0 $ ip link set dummy0 up $ ip link del bat0 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bat0 to become free.

batman-adv checks in different situation if a new device is already on top of a different batman-adv device. This is done by getting the iflink of a device and all its parent. It assumes that this iflink is always a parent device in an acyclic graph. But this assumption is broken by devices like veth which are actually a pair of two devices linked to each other. The recursive check would therefore get veth0 when calling dev_get_iflink on veth1. And it gets veth0 when calling dev_get_iflink with veth1. Creating a veth pair and loading batman-adv freezes parts of the system ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 modprobe batman-adv An RCU stall will be detected on the system which cannot be fixed.
