[PATCH v4 0/5] Implementation of a Stateless Multicast Packet Type
by Linus Lüssing 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Hi, The following patchset implements a stateless, TVLV capable batman-adv multicast packet type. The new batman-adv multicast packet type allows to contain several originator destination MAC addresses within a TVLV. Routers on the way will potentially split the batman-adv multicast packet and adjust its tracker TVLV contents. Routing decisions are still based on the selected BATMAN IV or BATMAN V routing algorithm. So this new batman-adv multicast packet type retains the same loop-free properties. The purpose of this new packet type is to allow to forward an IP multicast packet with less transmissions / overhead than the multicast-via-multiple-unicasts approach. Or to reach a lot more destinations (currently up to 196, depending on the payload size, see Wiki documentation for details) than with the default multicast fanout for the via-unicasts approach. This will allow using applications like mDNS again in several Freifunk communities. And with less transmissions will also make more bulky multicast applications, like media streaming (to an assessable amount of receivers) a lot more feasible. This approach is way simpler than the original multicast (tracker) packet approach we envisioned years ago. As it involves no maintenance of an extra, state based multicast routing table. However the TVLV capability should allow to extend things later, to split control and data plane a bit more for instance, to further increase the number of destinations, to further reduce overhead. A compact overview can be found in the Wiki here, including limitations: https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/Multicast-Packet-Type Regards, Linus ___ Changelog v4: * PATCH 4/5: * add missing include for linux/types.h in multicast.h * add missing kerneldoc for @bat_priv in batadv_mcast_forw_push_dest() and batadv_mcast_forw_push_tvlvs() * use sizeof_field(type, field) instead of sizeof(((type *)0)->field) in batadv_mcast_forw_push_dest() * PATCH 5/5: * rename num_dests_remove to num_dests_reduce in batadv_mcast_forw_shrink_align_offse() to fix kerneldocs and for consistency * fix typo in kerneldoc in batadv_mcast_forw_shrink_update_headers() -> @num_dest_reduce -> @num_dests_reduce * use sizeof_field(type, field) instead of sizeof(((type *)0)->field) in batadv_mcast_forw_shrink_align_offset() Changelog v3: * PATCH 1/5: * remove now obsolete includes * PATCH 2/5: * fix batadv_tvlv_handler_register() in network-coding.c * add missing include for linux/skbuff.h * move variable declarations out of the switch case in batadv_tvlv_call_handler() * PATCH 3/5: * remove unnecessary include of multicast.h in routing.c * add a few missing includes to multicast_forw.c (linux/byteorder/generic.h, linux/errno.h, linux/gfp.h, linux/stddef.h uapi/linux/batadv_packet.h, multicast.h) * PATCH 4/5: * add missing rcu_read_unlock() in error case before returning in batadv_mcast_forw_push_dests_list() * remove unnecessary include of soft-interface.h in multicast_forw.c * add a few missing includes to multicast_forw.c (linux/bug.h, linux/build_bug.h, linux/limits.h, linux/rculist.h, linux/rcupdate.h, linux/string.h) * make batadv_mcast_forw_mode_by_count() static * fix return types in the declaration of batadv_mcast_forw_packet_hdrlen() and batadv_mcast_forw_push() in multicast.h * fix typo in commit message: "that the are capable of" -> "that the*y* are capable of" * PATCH 5/5: * make batadv_mcast_forw_shrink_pack_dests() adhere to 80 characters per line for consistency * add a "continue" statement after the jump label in batadv_mcast_forw_shrink_pack_dests() to silence the sparse error "error: label at end of compound statement" Changelog v2: * Add "[PATCH v2 0/5]" prefix to title of cover letter, so that Patchwork can hopefully find it - no other changes

[PATCH] alfred: gpsd: Fix build against gpsd 3.25
by Sven Eckelmann 21 Jan '23

21 Jan '23

gpsd moved in commit 35fe48835da0 ("include/gps.h: Move fixsource_t into gps.h, add into gps_data_t.") the function gpsd_source_spec + its data structures from the private gpsdclient.h to the public API header gps.h. But the actual API major or minor version was not increased in this process. It is therefore not easily possible to figure out whether the libgps API will provide this functionality or not. To avoid a conflict during the build, just rename fixsource_t and gpsd_source_spec.

[PATCH] batman-adv: Drop support for Linux < 4.14
by Sven Eckelmann 07 Jan '23

The Linux Kernel 4.9 reached its end of life [1] after 6 years. Instead it is recommended to use at least kernel 4.14. It is also over 5 years old but still maintained by the stable kernel team. All older kernels (4.9 - v4.13) will be dropped to reduce the support overhead.

Mailing list mirror on lore.kernel.org
by Sven Eckelmann 06 Jan '23

06 Jan '23

Hi, maybe some of you remember the time when the archive of this mailing list was also mirrored to Gmane - providing services like web ui, nntp or raw (unmangled) mail downloads. But the original Gmane is gone since a long time. And the other public mirror (mail-archive.com) is a lot more web centric and not integrated in the kernel.org infrastructure. So I spend my time between the years to fix the situation and create an sanitized archive of all the old mails form this mailing list. This was then submitted to the kernel.org's helpdesk for inclusion in their public-inbox [1] infrastructure [2]. To make a long story short: you can now find the mails also under https://lore.kernel.org/batman/ Some features are: * NNTP/Atom feed support * being able to follow threads spanning multiple (kernel) mailing lists * handle your patch queues with b4 For example when you want to apply the new multicast patches from Linus: $ b4 am 20221227193409.13461-1-linus.luessing(a)c0d3.blue $ git am ./v4_20221227_linus_luessing_implementation_of_a_stateless_multicast_packet_type.mbx Similar things can also be done to prepare the patches for submission. See - https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/introducing-b4-and-patch-attestation - https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/sending-a-kernel-patch-with-b4-part-1 * whole mailinglist archive available as git repository At the moment, our single epoch can be mirrored using: $ git clone --mirror https://lore.kernel.org/batman/0 batman/git/0.git # but you should use public-inbox/ or otherwise you might miss some # archives in case it is split into multiple epochs See - https://lore.kernel.org/batman/_/text/mirror/ - https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/subscribing-to-lore-lists-with-grokm… * Subscribe^W Pull mailing list with filters via (lore)lei See - https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/lore-lei-part-1-getting-started - https://people.kernel.org/monsieuricon/lore-lei-part-2-now-with-imap The hyperkitty mailing archives on lists.open-mesh.org will continue to be supported. But their archives are not perfectly suited for working with patch(sets) - so this should be a nice addition for some people. And I will also continue to use patchwork for keeping track of patches. lore.kernel.org and its tooling just adds a cherry on top. Kind regards, Sven [1] https://public-inbox.org/README.html [2] https://www.kernel.org/lore.html
