batman-adv: Fix mem leak in the batadv_tt_local_event() function

Memory is allocated for 'tt_change_node' with kmalloc(). 'tt_change_node' may go out of scope without really being used for anything (except have a few members initialized) if we hit the 'del:' label. This patch makes sure we free the memory in that case.

batman-adv: change interface_rx to get orig node

In order to understand where a broadcast packet is coming from and use this information to detect not yet announced clients, this patch modifies the interface_rx() function by passing a new argument: the orig node corresponding to the node that originated the received packet (if known). This new argument if not NULL for broadcast packets only (other packets does not have source field).

commit ff759ec03a0e6be67d3b2ae2f5e1c21773eb3901 Author: Antonio Quartulli ordex@autistici.org Date: Thu Jul 5 23:38:29 2012 +0200

batman-adv: detect not yet announced clients

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its joining event will be spread over the mesh network.

This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs) the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts, etc.

This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM is not received within a fixed amount of time.

batman-adv: Drop tt queries with foreign dest

When enabling promiscuous mode, tt queries for other hosts might be received. Before this patch, "foreign" tt queries were processed like any other query and thus forwarded to its destination again and thereby causing a loop.

This patch adds a check to drop foreign tt queries.

batman-adv: Split batadv_priv in sub-structures for features

The structure batadv_priv grows everytime a new feature is introduced. It gets hard to find the parts of the struct that belongs to a specific feature. This becomes even harder by the fact that not every feature uses a prefix in the member name.

The variables for bridge loop avoidence, gateway handling, translation table and visualization server are moved into separate structs that are included in the bat_priv main struct.

batman-adv: check batadv_orig_hash_add_if() return code

If this call fails, some of the orig_nodes spaces may have been resized for the increased number of interface, and some may not. If we would just continue with the larger number of interfaces, this would lead to access to not allocated memory later.

We better check the return code, and don't add the interface if no memory is available. OTOH, keeping some of the orig_nodes with too much memory allocated should hurt no one (except for a few too many bytes allocated).
