[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman-adv: is it possible to increase mtu size for batman-adv interfaces?

by Andreas Pape

Hi, currently the mtu size of batman-adv soft-interfaces is limited to ETH_DATA_LEN (1500 bytes) in function batadv_hardif_min_mtu as far as I understand. A comment in this function states that batman-adv "does not support MTUs bigger than ETH_DATA_LEN". Is there a specific reason for this or would it be possible to increase the MTU size to something like 1518 by simply replacing all limitations to ETH_DATA_LEN with a higher value?

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Odd use of %14pM in net/batman-adv/distributed-arp-table.c

by Joe Perches

An output mac address is 17 bytes 1 12345678901234567 00:11:22:33:44:55 but in net/batman-adv/distributed-arp-table.c int batadv_dat_cache_seq_print_text(struct seq_file *seq, void *offset) { [...] seq_printf(seq, " * %15pI4 %14pM %4i %6i:%02i\n", &dat_entry->ip, dat_entry->mac_addr, batadv_print_vid(dat_entry->vid), last_seen_mins, last_seen_secs); %14pM is odd as this should not emit the last byte of the mac address. So given the example above, it would output 00:11:22:33:44 Is that what's really desired? If so, I'd suggest using something more obvious like %5phC

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [batctl] compiling with gcc 7.1.0: there are some notes and warnings

by Linus Lüssing

Hi, Here is a first patchset to reintroduce aggregation support for BATMAN V, too - as well as any other packet type with a broadcast destination.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

by Sven Eckelmann

From: "David S. Miller" <davem(a)davemloft.net> 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: David S.
