Hi,
After some time of playing with the B.A.T.M.A.N protocol and
net-interface on OpenWRT and Debian I was thinking to use it with
the servers I use everyday (and maybe on routers/appliances I have
nanoBSD on).
So I started an effort...
(As a background) I already ported some applications to FreeBSD [and I'm
maintaining them] and
also I did work already on the Linux emulation layer of FreeBSD (FreeBSD
has a Linux syscall-emulation and Linux-KPI layers).
So my approach (as naturally I didn't expect the build of batman-adv.ko
to be successful as is),
was based on the approach that we [at FreeBSD] did to port Linux's
drm... <https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm>
I ended up in adding some header-files to FreeBSD Linux-KPI (like
average.h, percpu.h, ...).
Now I'm at a state that Netlink blocks me and I'm to determine next step :-)
[Which I don't assume it being trivial with my current approach]
So I'd like to ask:
1- Is it better approach to "rewrite" batman-adv.ko [at least
Netlink-ish (let's call "Linuxism") parts] than what I'm doing now?
2- Any other efforts are being done out there?
3- is batmand deprecated [So I should mainly focus on batman-adv.ko]?
4- any other comments do you have? :D
P.S. sorry if I'm not really good at starting conversation from scratch
and out-of-nowhere :D
but I hope by continuing the collaboration we can have better (more
enriched) FreeBSD and better (as in more portable) B.A.T.M.A.N :-)

Best regards, MMokhi.
Under normal circumstances B.A.T.M.A.N. V retrieves the neighbor
throughput values to populate its metric tables from the various
drivers such as WiFi throughput tables and Ethernet throughput..
Whenever the interface drivers do not export link throughput
information manual overrides become necessary. To further
automate and thus better support these setups, ELP may call the
batman-adv throughput meter to schedule a throughput estimation
to be used to populate the metric table.
v5:
* fix tp_vars refcount on queue_work() failure
* squash batadv_tp_start_work() into batadv_tp_start()
v4:
* read tp measurement result only once
v3:
* fix ELP tp meter result computation
* use batadv_has_timed_out() instead of custom implementation
* set ELP tp meter test duration to 1000ms in patch #6
* add comment explaining periodic scheduling
v2:
* added sysfs attribute to configure tp meter test duration
* fixed null pointer dereference in TP meter packet sending routine
* fixed storing the measured throughput in the correct variable
* checkpatch/kerneldoc/sparse/smatch cleanup
Antonio Quartulli (3):
batman-adv: tp_meter - prevent concurrent tp_meter sessions by using
workqueue
batman-adv: tp_meter - don't check for existing session
batman-adv: tp_meter - add option to perform one-hop test
Marek Lindner (4):
batman-adv: tp_meter - allow up to 10 queued sessions
batman-adv: tp_meter - add caller distinction
batman-adv: ELP - use tp meter to estimate the throughput if otherwise
not available
batman-adv: ELP - add throughput meter test duration attribute

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.

1.7.0.4
Whenever a new VLAN is created on top of batman virtual interfaces
the batman-adv kernel module creates internal structures to track
the status of said VLAN. Amongst other things, the MAC address of
the VLAN interface itself has to be stored.
Without this change a VLAN and its infrastructure could be created
while the interface MAC address is not stored without triggering
any error, thus creating issues in other parts of the code.
Prevent the VLAN from being created if the MAC address can not
be stored.

As mentioned earlier, the netlink config restructuring in batctl will be
splitted in multiple steps. The first step was already merged and the
RFC changes for the netlink interface in batman-adv were just posted.
The batman-adv weren't directly rejected by Jiro and thus I've started
to convert all settings to netlink while still allowing sysfs as fallback.
v3:
* fix kernel-doc in batman_adv.h
* add three patches to use the netlink interface with the already existing
setting commands
v2:
* drop of generic config command
* reimplementation of the event command

2.19.1
Hi,
Jiri Pirko called the batman-adv configuration interface a while back "a
huge mistake" [1] and suggested genl as alternative. The first
reimplementation [2] (based on the team/devlink design) was rejected. This
second implementation is now using a nl80211-like design. The objects
which can now be modified/queried are:
* mesh/soft-interface (BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH)
* slave/hard-interface (BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF/BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF)
* vlan (BATADV_CMD_GET_VLAN/BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN)
Such a set messages automatically triggers a *_SET_* "reply" via the config
multicast group. The same behavior was also added to the sysfs interface.
Luckily, Jiri Pirko told us that he will have a look at patches. I would
also like to ask the other developers to check whether their configuration
values are represented correctly. And please also check whether the current
implementation might collide with some other features which you might have
in your pipeline.
v2:
* rewrite everything in a more nl80211-like message/attribute format.
Kind regards,
Sven

As mentioned earlier, the netlink config restructuring in batctl will be
splitted in multiple steps. The first step was already merged and the
RFC changes for the netlink interface in batman-adv were just posted.
It doesn't make sense to have a full implementation in batctl when
the batman-adv part is not yet in a state which survived the RFC phase. But
it also is useless to have only the batman-adv RFC part without at least
something in userspace. I have now only added the event monitor so it is
possible to at least parse the messages from the kernel.
An implementation of the sysfs config helper with netlink support (and sysfs
fallback) will be implemented when the RFC phase of the batman-adv part
doesn't require any major changes anymore.
v2:
* drop of generic config command
* reimplementation of the event command
Kind regards,
Sven
