Hello David,
here is again our changeset intended for net-next/linux-3.8. Since the last pull request I removed the patch we were discussing about (the one exporting the batman-adv compatibility version) as we intend to do not provide the user the feeling of being "incompatible everyday".
As we discussed some time ago, we are doing what we can to speed our stabilisation process up and we are not going to break compatibility anymore before we ultimate such process.
However, I see that every now and then you have the feeling we are not really doing so. In that case, please, point out what you think is not adequate so that we can quickly fix it.
Again: we want to stabilise the protocol/messages format and any help/suggestion from you or the other maintainers is always well accepted (other than being "rude" only or not answering at all. When you do so, then we have to spend the entire day in trying to decrypt what was wrong and what we should do to address the problem, limiting our fun and productivity).
Please pull or let me know if there is any other problem in this batch.
Thank you very much, Antonio

The transtable_global debug file can show multiple entries for a single client when multiple gateways exist. The chosen gateway isn't marked in the list and therefore the user cannot easily debug the situation when there is a problem with the currently used gateway.
The best gateway is now marked with "*" and secondary gateways are marked with "+".

This patch adds support for an array of debugfs general (not soft_iface specific) attributes. With this change it will be possible to add more general attributes by simply appending them to the array without touching the rest of the code.

From: Martin Hundebøll martin@hundeboll.net
By adding batadv_send_skb_to_orig() in send.c, we can remove duplicate code that looks up the next hop and then calls batadv_send_skb_packet().
Furthermore, this prepares the upcoming new implementation of fragmentation, which requires the next hop to route packets.
Please note that this doesn't entirely remove the next-hop lookup in routing.c and unicast.c, since it is used by the current fragmentation code.
Also note that the next-hop info is removed from debug messages in translation-table.c, since it is looked up elsewhere.

If the skb is fragmented, the checksum must be computed on the individual fragments, just using skb->data may fail on fragmented data. Instead of doing linearizing the packet, use the new batadv_crc32 to do that more efficiently- it should not hurt replacing the old crc16 by the new crc32.

All packet headers in front of an ethernet header have to be completely divisible by 2 but not by 4 to make the payload after the ethernet header again 4 bytes boundary aligned.
A packing of 2 is necessary to avoid extra padding at the end of the struct caused by a structure member which is larger than two bytes. Otherwise the structure would not fulfill the previously mentioned rule to avoid the misalignment of the payload after the ethernet header. It may also lead to leakage of information when the padding it not initialized before sending.

All packet headers in front of an ethernet header have to be completely divisible by 2 but not by 4 to make the payload after the ethernet header again 4 bytes boundary aligned.
I'm not sure that statement is correct - whether the patches are correct rather depends on the actual packet format(s) you are generating/modifying.
If you are adding data to an ethernet packet you'll need to add a multiple of 4 bytes in order maintain the alignment of the IP header (which needs to be 4 byte aligned and is usually 14 bytes from the start of the receive data).
This means that the data you add probably has to be 4n+2 aligned - since I guess you are adding between the source MAC address and ethertype? If you are inserting data after the ethertype (ie after some protocol identifier), then your header can be 4 byte aligned provided it ends with the replacement ethertype (0800 or 0806 for IP protocols).

No, it looks like this
ethernet header | batman-adv stuff | ethernet header | ip header

The __packed attribute is an abstraction of the actual syntax the compiler uses, if it is supported at all.
Therefore, you can't just unconditionally use the #pragma, and you would need to use some kind of similar compiler abstraction for it.
But to be honest this is really ugly and for very little, if any, gain.

Good point, I've pulled your tree, thanks!
Agree. But we should get this message also to the other guys
What message would this be? Are you advocating a different use of #pragma pack()?

The __packed attribute is an abstraction of the actual syntax the compiler uses, if it is supported at all.
Therefore, you can't just unconditionally use the #pragma, and you would need to use some kind of similar compiler abstraction for it.
But to be honest this is really ugly and for very little, if any, gain.

David started this discussion and his statement was:
The __packed attribute is an abstraction of the actual syntax the compiler uses, if it is supported at all.
Therefore, you can't just unconditionally use the #pragma, and you would need to use some kind of similar compiler abstraction for it.
So yes, it sounds to me like "don't use #pragma but think about some abstraction".
Kind regards, Sven
