[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman-adv and/or batmand porting effort to FreeBSD
by Mahdi Mokhtari 28 Dec '19

28 Dec '19

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.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v5 0/7] B.A.T.M.A.N. V - fallback to tp meter estimation if throughput otherwise not available
by Marek Lindner 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

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 .../ABI/testing/sysfs-class-net-batman-adv | 7 + include/uapi/linux/batadv_packet.h | 2 + net/batman-adv/bat_v.c | 1 + net/batman-adv/bat_v_elp.c | 69 ++- net/batman-adv/bat_v_elp.h | 21 + net/batman-adv/main.c | 10 +- net/batman-adv/main.h | 7 +- net/batman-adv/netlink.c | 3 +- net/batman-adv/routing.c | 6 +- net/batman-adv/sysfs.c | 3 + net/batman-adv/tp_meter.c | 484 +++++++++++------- net/batman-adv/tp_meter.h | 11 +- net/batman-adv/types.h | 36 ++ 13 files changed, 453 insertions(+), 207 deletions(-) -- 2.18.0

[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.] [RFC maint v2] batman-adv: fix adding VLANs with partial state
by Marek Lindner 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

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.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [RFC PATCH] batman-adv: Increase DHCP snooped DAT entry purge timeout in DHT
by Linus Lüssing 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

This patch increases the DAT entry purge timeout in the DHT for DHT_PUT messages which were triggered by DHCP snooping from 5 to 60 minutes. DHCP snooping will ensure a timely update in case of a reassignment of an IP address to a new host in the DHT. This allows us to increase the DAT entry timeout for entries inserted via an incoming DHT_PUT message triggered by DHCP snooping without risking inconsistencies. To signalize to a remote node that a DHT_PUT message was triggered by DHCP snooping and that it is suitable for such an extended purge timeout an according flag in the unicast 4addr header was introduced.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 1/2] batman-adv: Fix colliding redefinition of file_dentry
by Sven Eckelmann 24 Sep '18

24 Sep '18

Linux >=4.4.8 have the function file_dentry already defined while Linux 4.5 only got it with v4.5.2. Older stable kernel versions might also have gotten this function. Maintaining a full list of kernel versions which have this functionality is too much of a burden and thus the calls to this function are simply replaced with calls to a new private function batadv_file_dentry.

Hi David, here are some bugfixes which we would like to see integrated into net. We forgot to bump the version number in the last round for net-next, so the belated patch to do that is included - we hope you can adopt it. This will most likely create a merge conflict later when merging into net-next with this rounds net-next patchset, but net-next should keep the 2018.4 version[1].

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Network loops on gateways join
by Francesco Salvatore [fabbricadigitale] 18 Sep '18

18 Sep '18

Hi all, We're running a mesh network made of a cloud of clients and multiple gateways on two separate VLANs (on eth0, not on top of BATMAN). The setup is similar to the one described in the figure. https://www.open-mesh.org/attachments/download/132/Test_2xLAN.dia.png We noticed that, sometimes, when new gateways are added to the already running infrastructure network loops appear on VLANs We dumped VLANs network traffic during one of these loops and we saw a storm of BLA frames that collapsed the network. It seems that the frame (an ANNOUNCE one, in this case) was firstly generated by a gateway and started to loop inside the LAN, and then even the others gateways propagated the same frame. After a few seconds also other frames (coming from different gateways) started to loop. Our hypothesis is that one of gateways directly injects BLA frames inside mesh and that lead to an unmanageable loop. So, we have 2 questions: - Are BLA frames (except for LOOP DETECT) allowed to flow only on LAN? - If so, is our hypothesis reasonable? You can see the situation described above in the screenshot below. http://oi63.tinypic.com/v7wl1w.jpg Clients and gateways are both made of RPis 3 Model B running BATMAN v2017.3 Thank you.
