In a lot of places, we use this kind of comparison to detect if a
device has a lower link:
dev->ifindex != dev_get_iflink(dev)
This seems to be a leftover of the pre-netns days, when the ifindex
was unique over the whole system. Nowadays, with network namespaces,
it's very easy to create a device with the same ifindex as its lower
link:
ip netns add main
ip netns add peer
ip -net main link add dummy0 type dummy
ip -net main link add link dummy0 macvlan0 netns peer type macvlan
ip -net main link show type dummy
9: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop ...
ip -net peer link show type macvlan
9: macvlan0@if9: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop ...
To detect if a device has a lower link, we can simply check the
existence of the dev->netdev_ops->ndo_get_iflink operation, instead of
checking its return value. In particular, I attempted to fix one of
these checks in commit feadc4b6cf42 ("rtnetlink: always put IFLA_LINK
for links with a link-netnsid"), but this patch isn't correct, since
tunnel devices can export IFLA_LINK_NETNSID without IFLA_LINK. That
patch needs to be reverted.
This series will fix all those bogus comparisons, and export missing
IFLA_LINK_NETNSID attributes in bridge and ipv6 dumps.
ipvlan and geneve are also missing the get_link_net operation, so
userspace can't know when those device are cross-netns. There are a
couple of other device types that have an ndo_get_iflink op but no
get_link_net (virt_wifi, ipoib), and should probably also have a
get_link_net.
Sabrina Dubroca (12):
ipvlan: add get_link_net
geneve: add get_link_net
Revert "rtnetlink: always put IFLA_LINK for links with a link-netnsid"
rtnetlink: always put IFLA_LINK for links with ndo_get_iflink
bridge: always put IFLA_LINK for ports with ndo_get_iflink
bridge: advertise IFLA_LINK_NETNSID when dumping bridge ports
ipv6: always put IFLA_LINK for devices with ndo_get_iflink
ipv6: advertise IFLA_LINK_NETNSID when dumping ipv6 addresses

2.28.0
Currently we schedule a broadcast packet like:
3x: [ [(re-)queue] --> for(hard-if): maybe-transmit ]
The intention of queueing a broadcast packet multiple times is to
increase robustness for wireless interfaces. However on interfaces
which we only broadcast on once the queueing induces an unnecessary
penalty. This patch restructures the queueing to be performed on a per
interface basis:
for(hard-if):
- transmit
- if wireless: [queue] --> transmit --> [requeue] --> transmit
Next to the performance benefits on non-wireless interfaces this
should also make it easier to apply alternative strategies for
transmissions on wireless interfaces in the future (for instance sending
via unicast transmissions on wireless interfaces, without queueing in
batman-adv, if appropriate).

Changelog v3:
* changed all skb_clone() calls to skb_copy(), to move the
skb_copy()->skb_clone() changes to extra commits with their own
explanation
Changelog v2:
* fixed spelling of "unnecessary" in commit message (thanks Sven)
* removed now superflous kerneldoc for hard_iface in
batadv_forw_packet_bcasts_left() (thanks Sven)
* removed delay check for queued (re)broadcasts in
batadv_forw_bcast_packet_if(): the only case where a delay is set
for this function is for a delayed, DAT fallback ARP Request from
this node, then however num_bcasts will be >=1, too, and the fallback
ARP Request will be scheduled anyway

Hi,
Due to recent developments around the Freenode.org IRC network, the opinions
about the usage of this service shifted dramatically.
A small poll in the IRC channel at the end of last week showed that most
(actively participating) users wanted to leave freenode and the network with
the most positive votes was hackint.org. The new home at
ircs://irc.hackint.org/batadv [1] was prepared on Sunday. You can find also
other interesting channels in the neighborhood. #freifunk (including many
communities), #gluon, #dn42, various CCC channels and many more.
We hope to see you soon in the new channel at
ircs://irc.hackint.org/batadv
Kind regards,
Sven

Platform: Raspberry Pi 4B / CM4 with CentOS 8 stream 64 bit - 5.10.42 kernel
Trying to use this Mediatek USB device and I notice a - quite nasty - problem using IBSS mode. On startup of the IBSS network, there is a chance the Pi goes into a tizzy https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/543 - when it's the first (and only) node.
I was able to dupe it consistently in my home - fairly static network - but not anymore in a lab environment. I cannot easily go back home - it's ~3000km from where I am at temporarily.
Does anyone have experience with these MediaTek devices and B.A.T.M.A.N. on lower performance nodes like a Raspberry Pi...
I have ascertained that NONE of the USB Realtek dongles work, as the kernel driver is missing IBSS support at this time...
I'm against an urgent deadline, and trying to understand what I can do to make this work
MfG,
- Maurice

batman-adv: Avoid WARN_ON timing related checks (2021-05-18 21:10:01 +0200)

syzbot is hitting
WARN_ON(forw_packet->if_outgoing->soft_iface != soft_iface)
at batadv_iv_ogm_emit() [1].
This WARN_ON() was added by commit ef0a937f7a1450d3 ("batman-adv: consider
outgoing interface in OGM sending") but it is unclear why it needs to use
WARN_ON(). Is this fatal error worth crashing the kernel?
Please consider replacing with pr_err() etc. like commit b4142fc4d52d051d
("drm/vkms: fix misuse of WARN_ON") does if this is not a kernel bug.
