[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.

[PATCH maint] batman-adv: Fix DAT candidate selection on little endian systems
by Sven Eckelmann 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

The distributed arp table is using a DHT to store and retrieve MAC address information for an IP address. This is done using unicast messages to selected peers. The potential peers are looked up using the IP address and the VID. While the IP address is always stored in big endian byte order, it is not the case of the VID. It can (depending on the host system) either be big endian or little endian. The host must therefore always convert it to big endian to ensure that all devices calculate the same peers for the same lookup data.

[PATCH] batman-adv: Annotate bitwise integer pointer casts
by Sven Eckelmann 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

The sparse commit 6002ded74587 ("add a flag to warn on casts to/from bitwise pointers") introduced a check for non-direct casts from/to restricted datatypes (when -Wbitwise-pointer is enabled). This triggered various warnings in batman-adv when some (already big endian) buffer content was casted to/from the corresponding big endian integer data types. But these were correct and can therefore be marked with __force to signalize sparse an intended cast from/to a bitwise type.

Host endianness dependent DHT lookup
by Sven Eckelmann 28 Nov '19

28 Nov '19

Hi, I just saw following in batadv_hash_dat(): key = (const unsigned char *)&dat->vid; for (i = 0; i < sizeof(dat->vid); i++) { hash += key[i]; hash += (hash << 10); hash ^= (hash >> 6); } But the vid is in host order - not big endian like the IP part. So the batadv_dat_select_candidates will select different candidates depending on whether it is a little or big endian system, right? If this is a correct assumption, then we would have this problem since 3e26722bc9f2 ("batman-adv: make the Distributed ARP Table vlan aware") Kind regards, Sven

[PATCH] batman-adv: Revert "disable ethtool link speed detection when auto negotiation off"
by Sven Eckelmann 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

The commit d60b8fc69ef2 ("batman-adv: disable ethtool link speed detection when auto negotiation off") disabled the usage of ethtool's link_ksetting when auto negotation was enabled due to invalid values when used with tun/tap virtual net_devices. According to the patch, automatic measurements should be used for these kind of interfaces. But there are major flaws with this argumentation: * automatic measurements are not implemented * auto negotiation has nothing to do with the validity of the retrieved values The first point has to be fixed by a longer patch series. The "validity" part of the second point must be addressed in the same patch series by dropping the usage of ethtool's link_ksetting (thus always doing automatic measurements over ethernet). Drop the patch again to have more default values for various net_device types/configurations. The user can still overwrite them using the batadv_hardif's BATADV_ATTR_THROUGHPUT_OVERRIDE.

[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
