[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH] batman-adv: handle race condition for claims also in batadv_bla_rx
by Simon Wunderlich 02 Jul '19

02 Jul '19

From: Andreas Pape <apape(a)phoenixcontact.com> Like in the case of the patch for batadv_bla_tx to handle a race condition when claiming a mac address for bla, a similar situation can occur when claiming is triggered via batadv_bla_rx. This patch solves this with a similar approach as for batadv_bla_tx.

Depending on your operating system distribution this can be read in one of +a number of ways. Try using the commands: ``dmesg``, ``logread``, or looking in +the files ``/var/log/kern.log`` or ``/var/log/syslog``. All batman-adv messages +are prefixed with "batman-adv:" So to see just these messages try:: + + $ dmesg | grep batman-adv + +When investigating problems with your mesh network, it is sometimes necessary to +see more detail debug messages. This must be enabled when compiling the +batman-adv module. When building batman-adv as part of kernel, use "make +menuconfig" and enable the option ``B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging`` +(``CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG=y``). + +Those additional debug messages can be accessed using a special file in +debugfs:: + + $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/log + +The additional debug output is by default disabled.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 0/2] alfred: Use bitmap to store dataset change events
by Sven Eckelmann 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

Hi, the --update-command implementation looked quite memory inefficient to me and I have therefore replaced it using a simple bit map which stores in BIT(i) when datatype I was modified. Here from the second patch: > The implementation for --update-command uses a double linked list to store > the detected modifications of datasets. This implementation requires 24 > bytes (1 byte data type, 7 bytes padding, 16 bytes linked list pointers) on > amd64 for each element of the list. Each modified dataset type requires an > own list item. Each list item is allocated using malloc and therefore > additional overhead for the libc allocator information has also to be > stored next to it. The list head uses a similar amount of memory (16 byte > list pointers, 2 byte counter, 6 byte padding) but doesn't require > additional allocations. > > The list based implementation provides information about modified dataset > type and the order in which these modifications were detected. But the > latter is not actually required fr --update-command and can therefore be > omitted. > > A simple 256 bit wide storage element (32 bytes) is enough to keep the > required information when only the detected modified data types have to be > registered. BIT(i) is either 1 when dataset type i was modified or 0 when > no modification was detected. This removes the (de)allocation CPU + memory > overhead and avoids list searches when adding newly detected modifications. The bitops.h file is used to implement the bit operations and keep the details away from the server code. I've reduced the size of the header file a little bit because most of it was not used by alfred.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint v2] batman-adv: fix TT sync flag inconsistencies
by Linus Lüssing 31 Jul '17

31 Jul '17

This patch fixes an issue in the translation table code potentially leading to a TT Request + Response storm. The issue may occur for nodes involving BLA and an inconsistent configuration of the batman-adv AP isolation feature. However, since the new multicast optimizations, a single, malformed packet may lead to a mesh-wide, persistent Denial-of-Service, too. The issue occurs because nodes are currently OR-ing the TT sync flags of all originators announcing a specific MAC address via the translation table. When an intermediate node now receives a TT Request and wants to answer this on behave of the destination node then this intermediate node now responds with an altered flag field and broken CRC. The next OGM of the real destination will lead to a CRC mismatch and triggering a TT Request and Response again. Furthermore, the OR-ing is currently never undone as long as at least one originator announcing the according MAC address remains, leading to the potential persistency of this issue. This patch fixes this issue by storing the flags used in the CRC calculation on a a per TT orig entry basis to be able to respond with the correct, original flags in an intermediate TT Response for one thing. And to be able to correctly unset sync flags once all nodes announcing a sync flag vanish for another.
