[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 1/2] batman-adv: Fix broadcast+ogm queue purging race condition
by Linus Lüssing
So far on purging broadcast and ogm queues we temporarily give up the
spin lock of these queues to be able to cancel any scheduled forwarding
work. However this is unsafe and can lead to a general protection error
in batadv_purge_outstanding_packets().
With this patch we split the queue purging into two steps: First
removing forward packets from those queues and signaling the
cancelation. Secondly, we are actively canceling any scheduled
forwarding, wait for any running forwarding to finish and only free a
forw_packet afterwards.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Classes and purposed classes (problem to solve)
by cmsv
Scenario:
I have recently moved 13 nodes previously using wds to batman-adv.
One problem that i am encountering is the gateway selection and its
actually defectiveness.
This problem has be seen when the client nodes are set on class 20.
The node clients in fact select the gateways that advertise better link
quality usually above 200 but at the same time some clients end up
connecting to a gateway that is either too slow or unusable either due
to routing or other factors such as distance and even clear visibility.
In one case the node connects to something that defies logic.
I thought about ways to work around this and came up with an idea that
may help which means the creation of 2 new classes.
- Preferred gateway fall-back
- Preferred fixed gateway
For Preferred gateway fall-back:
consider the gateway's advertised quality towards the gateway and stick
with the selection until the gateway disappears returning to it soon as
it returns regardless of any other data.
- Preferred fixed gateway
Manual gateway selection by the node owner or admin. (wds type)
If these classes cannot be created; maybe a plugin of some sort could
be. could be called "gordon".
I understand that this idea may sound useless the same way blocking
originators may be for someone but in some scenarios just like blocking
originators it look to me very valid.
My current problem is that the link quality seems to go up and down like
a roller coaster in a specific order which causes the clients to switch
constantly sometimes many times per hour.
While this does not seem to be an issue for most client nodes; for 2 of
them it means no internet access at all.
The solution for now seems to be having these 2 nodes forced to use 1
specific gateway.
I am quite open to any ideas that may help resolve this issue that has
been casing some "uninformed people" to become headaches.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: change compat code to remove sparse warning
by Simon Wunderlich
The latest compat patch fixing rtnl ops compile errors from 2.6.32
("batman-adv: add compat support for the new netlink ops") fixes
the compilation, but leaves some sparse errors:
batman-adv/soft-interface.c:573:10: warning: Initializer entry defined twice
batman-adv/soft-interface.c:574:10: also defined here
This patch uses another approach by moving the initializers in a dummy
struct instead. This also removes the sparse errors.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv3 1/2] batman-adv: free an hard-interface before adding it
by Antonio Quartulli
When adding a new hard interface (e.h. wlan0) to a soft interface (e.g. bat0)
and the former is already enslaved in another virtual interface (e.g. a software
bridge) batman-adv has to free the it first and then continue with the
adding mechanism.
In this way the behaviour becomes consistent with what "ip link set master"
does. At the moment batman-adv enslaves the hard interface without checking for
the master device, possibly causing strange behaviours which are never wanted by
the users.

Hi all,
I've writed a batman-adv proto in according on new netifd system of
attitude adjustement release.
With this script the batman-adv configuration could be moved on
/etc/config/network file istead of /etc/config/batman-adv and the
/lib/batman-adv/config.sh is no longer required.
es.
config interface mesh
option proto bat
option device bat0
option interfaces 'wlan0 wlan1'
option gw_mode server
...
if someone think that my work could be useful and can provide a better
and elegant integration on openwrt please keep in touch.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: make batadv_softif_destroy_netlink() static
by Antonio Quartulli
batadv_softif_destroy_netlink() is used in the file where it is defined only,
therefore it must be static.
Introduced by 5317331775c3168b8155b03ec89b1c4c508b9043 ("batman-adv: Allow to
use rntl_link for device creation/deletion")

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCHv2 1/2] batman-adv: free an hard-interface before adding it
by Antonio Quartulli
When adding a new hard interface (e.h. wlan0) to a soft interface (e.g. bat0)
and the former is already enslaved in another virtual interface (e.g. a software
bridge) batman-adv has to free the it first and then continue with the
adding mechanism.
In this way the behaviour becomes consistent with what "ip link set master"
does. At the moment batman-adv enslaves the hard interface without checking for
the master device, possibly causing strange behaviours which are never wanted by
the users.
