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:

Changelog v6: * PATCH 2/3: * add missing include of linux/compiler.h for the newly added likely() in v5 * added kerneldoc for @num_dests_pushed to the in v5 newly added batadv_mcast_forw_push_adjust_padding() * updated kerneldoc of batadv_mcast_forw_push_adjust_padding(), original text was wrongly copy & pasted from batadv_mcast_forw_push_est_padding() without adjustments * PATCH 3/3: * added missing "static" attribute to the newly added batadv_mcast_forw_shrink_align_offset() in v5
Changelog v5: * removed patches 1/5 + 2/5, as they were already applied * rebased to current main branch * changed padding behaviour: * now 2 bytes padding on the end of the multicast tracker TVLV, if number of destination nodes is even * as number of destination nodes might change between initial check until after pushing them, functions to post-adjust padding after pushing were added * added/fixed TTL handling * removed skb_pull() bailing from sub-functions of batadv_mcast_forw_push(), to only have a single skb_pull() to keep track of in batadv_mcast_forw_push() to revert the changes to the skb; instead a "unsigned short *tvlv_len" is passsed along in batadv_mcast_.*push.*() functions to keep track of how many bytes were pushed * moved + verified skb->ip_summed invalidation * batadv_mcast_forw_shrink_tracker() xmas tree ordering * reword batadv_mcast_forw_push_dest() "Return:" kerneldoc * fixed spelling: outter -> outer
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
Implement functionality to receive and forward a new TVLV capable multicast packet type.
The new batman-adv multicast packet type allows to contain several originator destination 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.
Also a new OGM multicast TVLV flag is introduced to signal to other nodes that we are capable of handling a batman-adv multicast packet and multicast tracker TVLV. And that all of our hard interfaces have an MTU of at least 1280 bytes (IPv6 minimum MTU), as a simple solution for now to avoid MTU issues while forwarding.

Implement functionality to receive and forward a new TVLV capable multicast packet type.
The new batman-adv multicast packet type allows to contain several originator destination 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.
Also a new OGM multicast TVLV flag is introduced to signal to other nodes that we are capable of handling a batman-adv multicast packet and multicast tracker TVLV. And that all of our hard interfaces have an MTU of at least 1280 bytes (IPv6 minimum MTU), as a simple solution for now to avoid MTU issues while forwarding.

I was wondering if this shouldn't be a generic function rather than a multicast-specific function. It doesn't do anything multicast specific. I couldn't find something similar in other code though.

Discussed with Sven, next_dest is actually the iterator so it should be incremented at the other place.
I still think this is very hard to read, both Sven and I spent quite some time with pen and paper to understand this function. I would appreciate if it could be simplified.

Implement the preparation of a batman-adv multicast packet and use this under certain conditions.
For one thing this implements the capability to push a complete batman-adv multicast packet header, including a tracker TVLV with all originator destinations that have signaled interest in it, onto a given ethernet frame with an IP multicast packet inside.
For another checks are implemented to determine if encapsulating a multicast packet in this new batman-adv multicast packet type and using it is feasible. Those checks are:
1) Have all nodes signaled that they are capable of handling the new batman-adv multicast packet type? 2) Do all active hard interfaces of all nodes, including us, have an MTU of at least 1280 bytes? 3) Does a complete multicast packet header with all its destination addresses fit onto the given multicast packet / ethernet frame and does not exceed 1280 bytes?
If all checks passed then the new batman-adv multicast packet type will be used for transmission and distribution. Otherwise we fall back to one or more batman-adv unicast packet transmissions, if possible. Or if not possible we will fall back to classic flooding through a batman-adv broadcast packet.

Implement the preparation of a batman-adv multicast packet and use this under certain conditions.
For one thing this implements the capability to push a complete batman-adv multicast packet header, including a tracker TVLV with all originator destinations that have signaled interest in it, onto a given ethernet frame with an IP multicast packet inside.
For another checks are implemented to determine if encapsulating a multicast packet in this new batman-adv multicast packet type and using it is feasible. Those checks are:
- Have all nodes signaled that they are capable of handling the new batman-adv multicast packet type?
- Do all active hard interfaces of all nodes, including us, have an MTU of at least 1280 bytes?
- Does a complete multicast packet header with all its destination addresses fit onto the given multicast packet / ethernet frame and does not exceed 1280 bytes?
If all checks passed then the new batman-adv multicast packet type will be used for transmission and distribution. Otherwise we fall back to one or more batman-adv unicast packet transmissions, if possible. Or if not possible we will fall back to classic flooding through a batman-adv broadcast packet.

Just because I remembered it when reading a comment: SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT(skb) might be a good idea in places like this. Not all over the place but actually in the code which operates on the buffer and assumes the skbuff to be linearized. skb_put would do such a check (because it is a put at the end of the skb) but not an skb_pull.
Kind regards, Sven
Remove all zero MAC address entries (00:00:00:00:00:00) from a multicast packet's tracker TVLV before transmitting it and update all headers accordingly. This way, instead of keeping the multicast packet at a constant size throughout its journey through the mesh, it will become more lightweight, smaller with every interested receiver on the way and on each splitting intersection. Which can save some valuable bandwidth.

I'm wondering why we need to keep all those pointers and do the pointer magic in the first place? can't we just make two nested functions like this:
for (all entries) if zero-entry: for (all entries) if non-zero-entry swap()
(I find this current function very hard to read)
Cheers, Simon

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.
Please don't forget that batctl's tcpdump+wireshark also requires support for parsing it. Most likely, this was not added yet to not confuse third parties in case the packet format changes.
I have now acked the various patches and have queued them up for submission to net-next. But it would be good when Simon also checks them.
And we must also first release 2023.2 (including submission for net + net-next) before these patches can be added to the batman-adv repository.
Kind regards, Sven

Just discussed with Simon, and he had some good points regarding the readability of some functions (not so much actual functionality problems)
Kind regards, Sven
