[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.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH RFC] batman-adv: always assume 2-byte packet alignment
by Matthias Schiffer 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

NIC drivers generally try to ensure that the "network header" is aligned to a 4-byte boundary. This is not always possible: When Ethernet frames are encapsulated in other packets with 4-byte aligned headers, the inner Ethernet header will have 4-byte alignment, and in consequence, the inner network header is aligned to 2, but not to 4 bytes. Most parts of batman-adv only care about 2-byte alignment; in particular, no unaligned accesses occur in performance-critical paths that handle actual payload data. This is not true for OGM handling: the seqno and crc fields are accessed as 32-bit values. To avoid these unaligned accesses, this patch reduces the expected packet alignment to 2 bytes for all of batadv's packet types. As no unaligned accesses existed on the performance-critical paths anyways, this chance does have any (positive or negative) effect on performance, but it still makes sense to avoid these accesses to prevent log noise when examining other unaligned accesses in the kernel while batman-adv is active.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint] batman-adv: Fix internal interface indices types
by Sven Eckelmann 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

batman-adv uses internal indices for each enabled and active interface. It is currently used by the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV algorithm to identifify the correct position in the ogm_cnt bitmaps. The type for the number of enabled interfaces (which defines the next interface index) was set to char. This type can be (depending on the architecture) either signed (limiting batman-adv to 127 active slave interfaces) or unsigned (limiting batman-adv to 255 active slave interfaces). This limit was not correctly checked when an interface was enabled and thus an overflow happened. This was only catched on systems with the signed char type when the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV code tried to resize its counter arrays with a negative size. The if_num interface index was only a s16 and therefore significantly smaller than the ifindex (int) used by the code net code. Both &batadv_hard_iface->if_num and &batadv_priv->num_ifaces must be (unsigned) int to support the same number of slave interfaces as the net core code. And the interface activation code must check the number of active slave interfaces to avoid integer overflows.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint v2 1/2] batman-adv: fix packet checksum in receive path
by Matthias Schiffer 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

eth_type_trans() internally calls skb_pull(), which does not adjust the skb checksum; skb_postpull_rcsum() is necessary to avoid log spam of the form "bat0: hw csum failure" when packets with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are received. Note that in usual setups, packets don't reach batman-adv with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE (I assume NICs bail out of checksumming when they see batadv's ethtype?), which is why the log messages do nor occur on every system using batman-adv. I could reproduce this issue by stacking batman-adv on top of a VXLAN interface.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint] batman-adv: Fix DECLARE_EWMA compat with newer kernels
by Sven Eckelmann 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Newer kernels removed the ACCESS_ONCE macro and are now using the more specialized forms READ_ONCE and WRITE_ONCE. The DECLARE_EWMA compat code used ACCESS_ONCE and fails to build against kernels which include the commit b899a850431e ("compiler.h: Remove ACCESS_ONCE()").

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Simple Multicast on Batman-Adv
by Linchieh, Alex 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hello, I am having some issues getting simple multicast to work under batman-adv (2017.4). I have isolated the system as much as I can to reduce any uncertainties associated with wlan. My test environment consists of 4 virtual machines (ubuntu server 17.10) that are connected to each other via an internal ethernet network. I have been able to get the bat0 interface working over the ethernet interface (enp0s3). I am able to get the devices to ping eachother over the batman mesh as well as send iperf test data via TCP and UDP unicast modes. However I have not been able to get multicast running properly over the bat0 interface. The commands I am using to initialize batman-adv on each of the virtual machines are as follows: Sudo modprobe batman-adv Sudo ifconfig enp0s3 up Sudo batctl if add enp0s3 Sudo ifconfig bat0 192.168.14.x/24 where "x" is replaced with a number depending on the VM Sudo route add -host 239.255.10.10 bat0 I am using iperf in order to generate multicast traffic from the iperf client (192.168.14.1), and the iperf servers (192.168.2, 3, 4). The client which generates multicast data is able to "connect" to the multicast address and send data. Iperf also shows that the servers are able to subscribe to the multicast address however this is as far as I can get because the multicast data does not appear to ever reach the subscribers. When I use tcp dump to monitor the bat0 interfaces on these devices, I can see outgoing multicast traffic from the multicast sender, however the bat0 interface on the multicast receivers does not show anything, so it looks like none of the multicast traffic seems to be reaching any of the subscribers (or perhaps the multicast subscribers aren't able to communicate that they are subscribed to the multicast address). I have tested this with "batctl mm" set to both enabled and disabled. In addition, when I try to run "batctl mf" it says that I am not connected to a mesh (even though I am). I have also duplicated this test using just the internal Ethernet network (static IP addresses, batman disabled) and muilticast seems to work fine. This leads me to believe that there is something with batman-adv that I am overlooking. If anyone could shed some light on enabling multicast on batman that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Master's Thesis on B.A.T.M.A.N routing protocol
by Md. Islam 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

Dear Concern, I am a final year masters student of Tampere University of Technology, Finland and my major is computer networking. Now, i have to start my thesis and B.A.T.M.A.N protocol seems very interesting to me. My supervisior told to work on B.A.T.M.A.N routing protocol by network coding. I would like to ask, does it has enough scope to develop by network code ? and could you please tell me what other area (right topic) of B.A.T.M.A.N is avaible for research or thesis topic. Thank you very much for your time. Waiting for your kind reply. Best Regards, Md. Shaiful Islam
