Linus Lüssing e2d9ba4355 batman-adv: restructure rebroadcast counter into forw_packet API
This patch refactors the num_packets counter of a forw_packet in the
following three ways:

1) Removed dual-use of forw_packet::num_packets:
   -> now for aggregation purposes only
2) Using forw_packet::skb::cb::num_bcasts instead:
   -> for easier access in aggregation code later
3) make access to num_bcasts private to batadv_forw_packet_*()

Sven Eckelmann dc1cbd145e batman-adv: Allow to disable debugfs support
The files provided by batman-adv via debugfs are currently converted to
netlink. Tools which are not yet converted to use the netlink interface may
still rely on the old debugfs files. But systems which already upgraded
their tools can save some space by disabling this feature. The default
configuration of batman-adv on amd64 can reduce the size of the module by
around 11% when this feature is disabled.

Sven Eckelmann 86452f81d2 batman-adv: use kmem_cache for translation table
The translation table (global, local) is usually the part of batman-adv
which has the most dynamical allocated objects. Most of them
(tt_local_entry, tt_global_entry, tt_orig_list_entry, tt_change_node,
tt_req_node, tt_roam_node) are equally sized. So it makes sense to have
them allocated from a kmem_cache for each type.

This approach allowed a small wireless router (TP-Link TL-841NDv8; SLUB
allocator) to store 34% more translation table entries compared to the
current implementation.

Antonio Quartulli 33a3bb4a33 batman-adv: throughput meter implementation
The throughput meter module is a simple, kernel-space replacement for
throughtput measurements tool like iperf and netperf. It is intended to
approximate TCP behaviour.

It is invoked through batctl: the protocol is connection oriented, with
cumulative acknowledgment and a dynamic-size sliding window.

The test *can* be interrupted by batctl. A receiver side timeout avoids
unlimited waitings for sender packets: after one second of inactivity, the
receiver abort the ongoing test.

Based on a prototype from Edo Monticelli <montik@autistici.org>

Matthias Schiffer 09748a22f4 batman-adv: add generic netlink family for batman-adv
debugfs is currently severely broken virtually everywhere in the kernel
where files are dynamically added and removed (see
http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1506.1/02196.html for some
details). In addition to that, debugfs is not namespace-aware.

Instead of adding new debugfs entries, the whole infrastructure should be
moved to netlink. This will fix the long standing problem of large buffers
for debug tables and hard to parse text files.

batadv_tvlv_container_get requires that tvlv.container_list_lock is held by
the caller. It is therefore not possible that an item in
tvlv.container_list has an reference counter of 0 and is still in the list

The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the
reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better
visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.

The receive function may start processing an incoming packet while the

Antonio Quartulli 0da0035942 batman-adv: OGMv2 - add basic infrastructure
This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol
(version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the
newly added ELP.

In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both
measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric
information. In this version the protocol is in charge of
the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP.

This means being able to decouple the interval used by the
neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed
to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so
leading to a less responsive routing protocol.

Linus Luessing d6f94d91f7 batman-adv: ELP - adding basic infrastructure
The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single
message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to
the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality
information through the whole mesh. This procedure is
summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in
details in the RFC draft published in 2008.

This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the
protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it
also bears some drawbacks:

 *  Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss,
    therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow
    a fast reaction on flaky connections.
    Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to
    Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet
    loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce
    overhead.
 *  It generally is more desirable to detect local link
    quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all
    these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of
    the mesh does not need to care about local link quality
    changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like
    reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't
    used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time.

As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled
by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message
type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these
link quality information and determining the overall path
transmit qualities.

Developed by Linus during a 6 months trainee study period in
Ascom (Switzerland) AG.

This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the
knowledge about the right order of local includes.

Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly.
Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is
problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on
config settings and may not be stable in the future.

The order for include blocks are:

 * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file)
 * global linux headers
 * required local headers
 * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations

The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h.
This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must
therefore build together with userspace applications. The header
linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h
conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The
maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus
these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have
to include main.h to work correctly.

We can avoid this indirect return variable by directly returning the
error values.

Markus Pargmann e8ad3b1acf batman-adv: main, Convert is_my_mac() to bool
It is much clearer to see a bool type as return value than 'int' for
functions that are supposed to return true or false.

Instead of hiding the normal function flow inside an if block, we should
just put the error handling into the if block.

Martin Hundebøll e0d9677ea3 batman-adv: clear control block of received socket buffers
Since other network components (and some drivers) uses the control block
provided in skb's, the network coding feature might wrongly assume that
an SKB has been decoded, and thus not try to code it with another packet
again. This happens for instance when batman-adv is running on a bridge device.

Fix this by clearing the control block for every received SKB.
