[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] Staging: batman-adv: bonding and interface alternating
by Simon Wunderlich 05 Jun '10

05 Jun '10

This patch adds interface alternating to the new bonding feature. Instead of only sending in a round robin fashion on the usable interfaces, we can also attempt to use a different interface for sending than for receiving (interface alternating). This should reduce problems of the half-duplex nature of WiFi Hardware and thus increase performance. The bonding modes are now enhanced from two modes (disabled/enabled) to the following 4 modes: * 0 - bonding off * 1 - round robin (as before) * 2 - interface alternating * 3 - smart bonding (round robin + interface alternating) This is an experimental patch and targeted for upcoming experiments at Wireless Battle Mesh v3 in Bracciano/Italy. Feedback, comments and reviews appreciated!

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Layer 2 fragmentation
by Andreas Langer 27 May '10

27 May '10

Hello, i looked into the problem of fragmenting packets on layer2 to solve the mtu issue. I found a unforeseen problem : oversized packets will be dropped by the bridge module ( if bat0 is in a bridge ). I think the reason can be found here net/bridge/br_forward.c on line 44 43 /* drop mtu oversized packets except gso */ 44 if (packet_length(skb) > skb->dev->mtu && !skb_is_gso(skb)) 45 kfree_skb(skb); Possible solution: make a patch for the bridge module if (packet_length(skb) > skb->dev->mtu && !skb_is_gso(skb) && !(skb->dev->priv_flags & IFF_CAN_FRAG)) IFF_CAN_FRAG must be added to include/linux/if.h and batman-adv has to set this flag on bat0 I can make a patch for mainline inclusion, do you believe it is going to be accepted ? regards, andreas

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] The state of batman-adv branches in may 2010
by Sven Eckelmann 26 May '10

26 May '10

Hi, as we started to have different branches and repositories, everything became a little bit more complex to track. I will try to summarize what and where is something going on inside the batman-adv universe. * http://downloads.open-mesh.org/svn/batman/trunk/batman-adv-kernelland/ http://git.open-mesh.net/?p=batman-adv;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master In trunk is always summer - so changes always(?) enter here and will get moved to other branches unless they need some more time to get a fine flavor - or at least more testing. Even if everything should hit trunk, it is easier to describe changes in a different place. This branch can be used together with http://downloads.open-mesh.net/svn/batman/trunk/batctl/ * http://git.open-mesh.net/?p=batman-adv;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/maint This is were commits are gathered to be send later to the linux kernel folks. Only tested features or features which are dependencies for the in-kernel batman-adv should enter this branch. We have already created the release v0.2.1 only from commits inside that branch while we developed new stuff in parallel in trunk. Since that release we received smaller patches which were merged into the linux mainline first or which were send to us directly from people which actually wanted to fix problems of the in-kernel batman-adv directly. We had for example style changes or patches which will guarantee that batman-adv still builds in upcoming kernel releases - things we otherwise would have to analyse after that kernel was released. So instead of having a user which notices that batman-adv doesn't build anymore, we got the fix for the problem which will exist somewhere in the future directly from the people which will create that problem. :) As one of the bigger changes we started to port batman-adv from /proc to sysfs and debugfs. batctl was also changed to work on top of the new configuration and debugging infrastructure. Unfortunately this change is a two step process. First we changed everything from /proc to sysfs and later moved parts of the files in sysfs to debugfs because they were not single value files. But later more about those changes in maint-0.2.2. Beside smaller bugfixes, a bigger problem was found when receiving an enormous amount of broadcast packets which must be rebroadcasted. It could happen that those packets looped inside the mesh. It was tried to fix that problem without changing the packet format. Even if that reduced the problem, there are more changes coming later which needs changes to the packet format. Also a smaller new feature has entered maint - the ability to allow netfilter/ebtables to filter incoming packets which are directly for batman-adv. This branch can be used together with http://downloads.open-mesh.net/svn/batman/branches/batctl-0.2.x/ * linux-2.6.35 The merge window has opened over a week ago and all patches (patches we send at least a week before it was opened) were accepted. Newer bugfixes will probably accepted in some days. Unfortunately some patches like the move of some files to debugfs weren't finished right in time and will only be merged into linux-2.6.36 because they are more than just simple bugfixes. That includes the removing of /dev/batman-adv in favor of debugfs, moving of tables from sysfs to debugfs and the netfilter integration. * http://git.open-mesh.net/?p=batman-adv;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/maint-0.2.2 As we weren't able to merge all patches inside maint in linux-2.6.35 and we still want to be able to provide a release which behaves like the version in 2.6.35, it was decided that we just use a version before the debugfs patches and create a branch which will gather all bugfixes in maint. It will be merged and removed after the release of batman-adv-kernelland-0.2.2 or plans are changed. So better don't start a friendship with this little buddy. If you want to try that branch or any snapshot of 2.6.35 then please try revision r1664 of http://downloads.open-mesh.net/svn/batman/branches/batctl-0.2.x/ * http://git.open-mesh.net/?p=batman-adv;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux The dirty place were all the linux integration happens. It is ugly, misunderstood and uninteresting for most people. The last synchronization point was GregKH-20100522. It is a merge of v2.6.34 and v0.2.1-38-gbcde864 + a documentation of all files we create in sysfs. So this synchronization point (a git tag) just says that we check at least v2.6.34 for new patches not yet integrated in maint/trunk of batman-adv and that we send our changes until that point to GregKH. In reality the patches are modified a little bit. * Files are moved from / to /drivers/staging/batman-adv * compat.h, bat_printk.c, Makefile.kbuild are removed * all references (#include) to compat.h are removed * TODO, Kconfig, sysfs-class-net-batman-adv and sysfs-class-net-mesh are added * Makefile is rewritten to look like a stripped down version of Makefile.kbuild * All passages how to compile batman-adv outside of the kernel are removed from README * Squashed with patches which only fix another patch All those changes are done for each patch (or at least ensured that no changes will conflict with those points) on top of the last merge point. This should ensure that we don't diverge too much from maint with the in-kernel batman-adv. Each patch is then applied on top of a current linux-next, tested if it compiles, checked with sparse and checkpatch.pl --strict. When everything looks fine, they get exported again using git-format-patch and send to GregKH. Only because a change is part of a synchronization point, it doesn't mean that it will appear with the next linux kernel. As said before, all bugfixes between GregKH-20100510 and GregKH-20100522 will be part of 2.6.35, but anything bigger will be part of 2.6.36. * http://git.open-mesh.net/?p=ecsv/master-rebase.git;a=shortlog;h=rebase My personal project. (With a little delay) I will try to get all changes in trunk rebased on top of maint. As result we get only the essence of changes in trunk which aren't already part of maint. This also means for example that patches will look like they were made with sysfs in mind even when they are originally created files in /proc. Even when I always ensure that the files in master and rebase are 100% equal, the original author may not be blamed when a single patch will try to eat your pet (or you could say that patches in that branch will not be checked by their original authors and I will only guarantee that when you apply all patches you will get the same files as in trunk). Nevertheless it is a great place to get and test feature patches on top of maint without using the complete set of changes in master. Or to understand what goes on in trunk compared to maint. Of course you cannot use all patches in any order because they have dependencies between each other. A the moment we have following patches which should be quite easy to use together with any other patch: * batman-adv: mark trunk as 0.3.0 alpha * batman-adv: Add bonding functionality * batman-adv: move queue counters into bat_priv We have also patches which changes the packet compat version to 9 (all gateway patches must be used in that order, otherwise they would not apply): * batman-adv: adding gateway functionality * batman-adv: send DHCP requests directly to the chosen gw * batman-adv: best gw DHCP filter 802.1Q support * batman-adv: record route for ICMP messages The last patch increases the compat version 10 and thus requires the patches which justify the compat version 9 ("adding gateway functionality", "record route for ICMP messages"): * batman-adv: 32bit sequence number and TTL for broadcasts This branch will jump around and it is not save to track it using a local git branch. This branch can be used together with http://downloads.open-mesh.net/svn/batman/trunk/batctl/ Last but not least, thanks to everyone who has done the real work * Andrea Gelmini * Andrew Lunn * Dan Carpenter * Daniel Seither * Linus Lüssing * Marek Lindner * Paul E. McKenney * Simon Wunderlich * Tejun Heo and lets see what the next months will bring us. Best regards, Sven

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Blocking OGMs from a node for testing purpose
by Antonio Quartulli 25 May '10

25 May '10

Hi all, I'm tring to make some tests on batman-adv with some stations, but I'm in trouble since I'm not able to "hide" a node to another. In other words I would like to create some personalized topologies to to test batman against them. To do this, first of all, I should block OGMs from a particular station. I tried with ebtables in order to block all the packets with source MACa (where MACa is the MAC address of the station I would prevent to communicate with me), but I failed. Does anyone know a working way to do what I described before? Thank you so much! Regards -- Antonio Quartulli Ognuno di noi, da solo, non vale nulla Ernesto "Che" Guevara

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Only fail in debugfs when kernel has debugfs support
by Sven Eckelmann 22 May '10

22 May '10

Linux allows to call debugfs related functions even when it is not compiled in. The return codes will always be failure return codes and we would fail to load the batman-adv module even when debugfs isn't a hard dependency. We can simply return a success error code when the debugfs stub returned a error code and the kernel was compiled without debugfs support.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
by Sven Eckelmann 22 May '10

22 May '10

From: Tejun Heo <tj(a)kernel.org> percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] sysfs & debugfs

Hi, thanks to Sven's patches we made the transition to debugfs rather quickly. All batman tables (originator table / gateway table / translation tables) and the vis data output have been relocated to debugfs. Even the former batman device (used for layer2 icmp data) has been moved to debugfs which brings us an important step closer to the multiple mesh support. @Andrew: I attached the revised sysfs ABI files. Do you think it is feasible to get these last patches into 2.6.35 ? Cheers, Marek
