[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
7 Sep

9:59 a.m.
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

New subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v5 1/7] batman-adv: tp_meter - prevent concurrent tp_meter sessions by using workqueue
From: Antonio Quartulli <a(a)unstable.cc>
To ensure that no more than one tp_meter session runs at the
same time, use an ordered workqueue instead of spawning
one kthread per session.

New subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v5 2/7] batman-adv: tp_meter - don't check for existing session
From: Antonio Quartulli <a(a)unstable.cc>
Since the conversion from kthread to queue worker it is not possible
to run more than one "sender" session at a time.
For this reason, checking if another session to the same destination
is already scheduled is not useful anymore.
Remove such check and allow the user to enqueue a new session to
a previously targeted node.

New subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v5 5/7] batman-adv: tp_meter - add option to perform one-hop test
From: Antonio Quartulli <a(a)unstable.cc>
A link test is a TP session ran over a specific one-hop link,
rather than towards an originator in the mesh.
Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <a(a)unstable.cc>

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.
I know that this patchset is required to have some throughput estimates for
non-wifi connections (or for wifi drivers without expected throughput). But
since we have the other discussion with Ligang LIU, I still have to bring this
up:
We already know that something (maybe ELP unicast probes and the related
messages) are "breaking" the connectivity between 2 neighbors in Ligang
LIU's
test setup (with 6 not so well connected nodes). It also seems to be the case
that the driver doesn't return the expected throughput for each neighbor all
the time and this missing data would then trigger the single-link tpmeter
test.
The test seem to be done every 60 seconds (or longer when there is another
source for the throughput) for each neighbor and by default 1s long. My
assumption would be now that this test could be even more harmful for wifi
connections than unicast ELP probes (or whatever is causing Ligang LUI's
problems). Let us just assume that we have these 6 nodes with 5 neighbors (I
see a lot more in real world setups). If the tests on the different nodes
don't overlap (which would also be bad for the test results) than all tests
would take at least 30 seconds of the 60 seconds. So even without the problem
in the "Performance Evaluation of BATMAN-adv Wireless Mesh Network Routing
Algorithms" mailing list thread, the tpmeter fallback has a significant cost.
Is there anything which I missed that could ease my mind?
Kind regards,
Sven

[... explanation why this test could create problems for other wifi connections...]
Is there anything which I missed that could ease my
mind?
Beside this potential problem, there is also the problem of the interaction
with the ethtool throughput gathering (brought up by Matthias Schiffer [1]
and Matthias Fritzsche [2]). The ethtool code basically prevents the correct
measurement in many situations. I will try to summarize it now:
* ethtool's link_ksettings is not about speed towards a neighbor behind the
interface but about either
- PHY layer speed class from local ethernet port to next peer (for direct
connections)
- connection towards next (internal) switch
- propagated value from a lower layer device (e.g for vxlan)
- "random" value (e.g. tun/tap)
- ...
* often connections indirect (switches, VPN, WiFi bridges, L2 firewalls, ...)
* B.A.T.M.A.N. V requires a measurement for the throughput towards a neighbor
and not the maximum(?) PHY layer speed of the first hop over the current
medium
The proposed solution is to drop the ethtool link_ksettings usage when the
tpmeter (or similar) approach for neighbor speed measurements is integrated.
Kind regards,
Sven
