[B.A.T.M.A.N.] maint tree mixup...
by Andrew Lunn
Hi Folks
It could be i'm doing something stupid here. If so, please tell me...
I'm preparing a patchset for linux. I've run into some problems.
You can see the patches to be included here:
http://git.open-mesh.org/?p=batman-adv;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/maint
The one which is causing me problems is:
2010-03-20 Marek Lindner batman-adv: fix aggregation timing bug
When i add this patch and then try to compile i get:
drivers/staging/batman-adv/aggregation.c:207:35: error: undefined identifier 'bat_priv'
the code being:
(atomic_read(&bat_priv->aggregation_enabled)))
However, if you look at the patch:
2010-04-06 Marek Lindner batman-adv: convert multiple /proc files to use sysfs
which comes about 16 days later you see:
--- a/types.h
+++ b/types.h
@@ -82,6 +82,8 @@ struct neigh_node {
struct bat_priv {
struct net_device_stats stats;
+ atomic_t aggregation_enabled;
+ struct kobject *mesh_obj;
};
So it looks to me these patches have got out of order.....
Any ideas what happened?
Thanks

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 0/3] Staging: Batman-adv: Bug fixes for 2.6.34-rc2.
by Andrew Lunn
Hi Greg
Here are three patches against 2.6.34-rc2 which we would like including
into the next -rc kernel. All three are bug fixes, with the first being a
regression relative to 2.6.33 and the second two being older bugs, prescent
in 2.6.33.
Thanks
Andrew

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Checkpatch cleanups
by Sven Eckelmann
Hi,
last year in December we decided that it is not worth to strictly follow the
80 chars per line rule in the linux coding style document. But after receiving
3 patches in the last month to fix such or similar problems (which could not
be merged due to other changes already applied to both branches) I want to
propose following patches which try to resolve these problems in files which
get submitted to the mainline kernel.
For trunk:
[PATCH-trunk 1/2] batman-adv: Fix whitespace problems criticized by checkpatch.pl
[PATCH-trunk 2/2] batman-adv: Reduce max characters on a line to 80
For maint branch:
[PATCH-maint 1/2] batman-adv: Fix whitespace problems criticized by checkpatch.pl
[PATCH-maint 2/2] batman-adv: Reduce max characters on a line to 80
Best regards,
Sven

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] 32bit sequence number and TTL for broadcasts
by Simon Wunderlich
This patch changes the sequence number range from 8 or 16 bit to 32 bit.
This should avoid problems with the sequence number sliding window algorithm
which we had seen in the past for broadcast floods or malicious packet
injections. We can not assure 100% security with this patch, but it is quite
an improvement over the old 16 bit sequence numbers:
* expected window size can be increased (4096 -> 65536)
* 64k packets in the right order would now be needed to cause a loop,
which seems practically impossible.
Furthermore, a TTL field has been added to the broadcast packet type, just to
make sure.
These changes required to increase the compatibility level once again. It
should therefore only applied to the upcoming 0.3 branch.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Update pointer to ethhdr after skb_copy
by Sven Eckelmann
We must ensure that all pointer to a socket buffer are updated when we
copy a socket buffer and free our reference to the old one.
Another part of the kernel could also free its reference which maybe
removes the buffer completely. In that situation we would would feed
wrong information to the routing algorithm after the memory area is
written again by someone else.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Security & node authentication in BATMAN network
by Adrian Byszuk
Hello,
I'm currently working on project (part of my Bachelor work) which will use to
transfer very sensitive data over the network, and I'd like to use mesh
networks to transfer this data. Additionally, it should also be possible for
"normal people" to connect to this network (e.g. to surf internet).
Preliminary, I've chosen BATMAN to build this network. But I've got a few
questions regarding security of this solution:
1. Does BATMAN provide any method of *authenticating* nodes?
As I've said earlier, sometimes transferred data will be highly sensitive (for
example: information of patients health in hospital), so it's absolutely
critical to not allow leaking this information. I can imagine situation when
some fake nodes claim "Hey, I'm the server collecting this data"...
I think this is also important when someone would try to destroy our mesh
network by placing some fake nodes in it.
2. If point nr one isn't possible, maybe there is some other way to ensure
security? I don't know too much about security or cryptography, but I can
think of solutions such as openVPN or IPsec.
Generally, the goal is to assert security of transmitting some data *without*
losing open characteristics of mesh network.
I will very thankful for any answers.
Kind regards,
Adrian

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Patch batman-adv for kernel 2.6.15
by Franz Böhm
Hi,
I am trying to get batman-adv (kernelland) running on Ubiquiti Networks
hardware. Unfortunately the Ubiquiti SDK uses kernel 2.6.15 and
batman-adv needs at least 2.6.20. I did have some success in patching
and running batman-adv-kernelland 0.1 (r1176). I would of course prefer
using batman-adv 0.2 but I do have problems implementing the older
kernel workqueue API.
Perhaps someone can give me a hint on porting for example this function
from send.c to the old workqueue API.
void send_outstanding_bat_packet(struct work_struct *work)
{
struct delayed_work *delayed_work =
container_of(work, struct delayed_work, work);
struct forw_packet *forw_packet =
container_of(delayed_work, struct forw_packet, delayed_work);
unsigned long flags;
spin_lock_irqsave(&forw_bat_list_lock, flags);
hlist_del(&forw_packet->list);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&forw_bat_list_lock, flags);
send_packet(forw_packet);
/**
* we have to have at least one packet in the queue
* to determine the queues wake up time unless we are
* shutting down
*/
if ((forw_packet->own) &&
(atomic_read(&module_state) != MODULE_DEACTIVATING))
schedule_own_packet(forw_packet->if_incoming);
forw_packet_free(forw_packet);
}
Kind regards,

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Limit queue lengths for batman and broadcast packets
by Simon Wunderlich
This patch limits the queue lengths of batman and broadcast packets. BATMAN
packets are held back for aggregation and jittered to avoid interferences.
Broadcast packets are stored to be sent out multiple times to increase
the probability to be received by other nodes in lossy environments.
Especially in extreme cases like broadcast storms, the queues have been seen
to run full, eating up all the memory and triggering the infamous OOM killer.
With the queue length limits introduced in this patch, this problem is
avoided.
Each queue is limited to 256 entries for now, resulting in 1 MB of maximum
space available in total for typical setups (assuming one packet including
overhead does not require more than 2000 byte). This should also be reasonable
for smaller routers, otherwise the defines can be tweaked later.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Reorganize sequence number handling
by Simon Wunderlich
BATMAN and broadcast packets are tracked with a sequence number window of
currently 64 entries to measure and avoid duplicates. Packets which have a
sequence number smaller than the newest received packet minus 64 are not
within this sequence number window anymore and are called "old packets" from
now on.
When old packets are received, the routing code assumes that the host of the
originator has been restarted. This assumption however might be wrong as
packets can also be delayed by NIC drivers, e.g. because of long queues or
collision detection in dense WiFi environments. This behaviour can be
reproduced by doing a broadcast ping flood in a dense node environment.
The effect is that the sequence number window is jumping forth and back,
accepting and forwarding any packet (because packets are assumed to be "new")
and causing loops.
To overcome this problem, the sequence number handling has been reorganized.
When an old packet is received, the window is reset back only once. Other old
packets are dropped for (currently) 30 seconds to "protect" the new sequence
number and avoid the hopping as described above.
The reorganization brings some code cleanups (at least i hope you feel the
same) and also fixes a bug in count_real_packets() which falsely updated
the last_real_seqno for slightly older packets within the seqno window
if they are no duplicates.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Multiple gateways and WRT54GL's
by Patrick Beddy
Please forgive this very "newbie" question, but it is one to which I cannot find an answer on
this site:
I manage a campus network which runs a fibre backbone between critical points. I wish to
impliment a wireless mesh to link non-critical points and "fill-the-gaps" so to speak. It is thus
possible that more than one wireless point could act as a gateway to the main network. I
understand that the B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol offers the most promising means of achieving this
objective.
1: Do I have to use the Advanced version of B.A.T.M.A.N. to make this possible, of will the
"standard" version work?
2: I have purchased a few WRT54GL-EU routers with which to test the implimentation. Are
there any pre-compiled versions of the binaries available, or do I have to use a PC running
Linux to compile my own binaries?
Many thanks
