Remi Pommarel eac27a41ab batman-adv: Do not get eth header before batadv_check_management_packet
If received skb in batadv_v_elp_packet_recv or batadv_v_ogm_packet_recv
is either cloned or non linearized then its data buffer will be
reallocated by batadv_check_management_packet when skb_cow or
skb_linearize get called. Thus geting ethernet header address inside
skb data buffer before batadv_check_management_packet had any chance to
reallocate it could lead to the following kernel panic:

Sven Eckelmann 813e62a6fe batman-adv: Drop initialization of flexible ethtool_link_ksettings
The commit 94dfc73e7c ("treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with
flexible-array members") changed various structures from using 0-length
arrays to flexible arrays

  net/batman-adv/bat_v_elp.c: note: in included file:
  ./include/linux/ethtool.h:148:38: warning: nested flexible array
  net/batman-adv/bat_v_elp.c:128:9: warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure

In theory, this could be worked around by using {} as initializer for the
variable on the stack. But this variable doesn't has to be initialized at
all by the caller of __ethtool_get_link_ksettings - everything will be
initialized by the callee when no error occurs.

Sven Eckelmann cfa55c6d47 batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info
The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next)
as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned
in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity
regarding the publishing year.

This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright
holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple
"update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not
well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright
year (for initial and last publication) in the files are chosen instead.
More detailed information about the years can still be retrieved from the
SCM system.

Sven Eckelmann 9ad346c905 batman-adv: Revert "disable ethtool link speed detection when auto negotiation off"
The commit 8c46fcd783 ("batman-adv: disable ethtool link speed detection
when auto negotiation off") disabled the usage of ethtool's link_ksetting
when auto negotation was enabled due to invalid values when used with
tun/tap virtual net_devices. According to the patch, automatic measurements
should be used for these kind of interfaces.

But there are major flaws with this argumentation:

* automatic measurements are not implemented
* auto negotiation has nothing to do with the validity of the retrieved
  values

The first point has to be fixed by a longer patch series. The "validity"
part of the second point must be addressed in the same patch series by
dropping the usage of ethtool's link_ksetting (thus always doing automatic
measurements over ethernet).

Drop the patch again to have more default values for various net_device
types/configurations. The user can still overwrite them using the
batadv_hardif's BATADV_ATTR_THROUGHPUT_OVERRIDE.

Sven Eckelmann f4156f9656 batman-adv: Use explicit tvlv padding for ELP packets
The announcement messages of batman-adv COMPAT_VERSION 15 have the
possibility to announce additional information via a dynamic TVLV part.
This part is optional for the ELP packets and currently not parsed by the
Linux implementation. Still out-of-tree versions are using it to transport
things like neighbor hashes to optimize the rebroadcast behavior.

Since the ELP broadcast packets are smaller than the minimal ethernet
packet, it often has to be padded. This is often done (as specified in
RFC894) with octets of zero and thus work perfectly fine with the TVLV
part (making it a zero length and thus empty). But not all ethernet
compatible hardware seems to follow this advice. To avoid ambiguous
situations when parsing the TVLV header, just force the 4 bytes (TVLV
length + padding) after the required ELP header to zero.

The probe ELPs for WiFi interfaces are expanded to contain at least
BATADV_ELP_MIN_PROBE_SIZE bytes. This is usually a lot more than the
number of bytes which the template ELP packet requires.

These extra padding bytes were not initialized and thus could contain data
which were previously stored at the same location. It is therefore required
to set it to some predefined or random values to avoid leaking private
information from the system transmitting these kind of packets.

Marek Lindner 8c46fcd783 batman-adv: disable ethtool link speed detection when auto negotiation off
Virtual interface drivers such as tun / tap interfaces, VLAN, etc tend
to initialize the interface throughput with some value for the sake of
having a throughput number to export via ethtool. This exported
throughput leaves batman-adv to conclude the interface throughput is
genuine (reflecting reality), thus no measurements are necessary.

Based on the observation that those interface types also tend to set
the link auto-negotiation to 'off', batman-adv shall check this
setting to differentiate between genuine link throughput information
and placeholders installed by virtual interfaces.

The "default throughput" setting exported via sysfs still allows to
configure the batman-adv throughput for the interface, thus disabling
the measurements.

Sven Eckelmann d62890885e batman-adv: Accept only filled wifi station info
The wifi driver can decide to not provide parts of the station info. For
example, the expected throughput of the station can be omitted when the
used rate control doesn't provide this kind of information.

The B.A.T.M.A.N. V implementation must therefore check the filled bitfield
before it tries to access the expected_throughput of the returned
station_info.

Sven Eckelmann 10b1bbb46c batman-adv: Cache the type of wifi device for each hardif
batman-adv is requiring the type of wifi device in different contexts. Some
of them can take the rtnl semaphore and some of them already have the
semaphore taken. But even others don't allow that the semaphore will be
taken.

The data has to be retrieved when the hardif is added to batman-adv because
some of the wifi information for an hardif will only be available with rtnl
lock. It can then be cached in the batadv_hard_iface and the functions
is_wifi_netdev and is_cfg80211_netdev can just compare the correct bits
without imposing extra locking requirements.

The routing API data structure contains several function

component they work with.

Split the API in subobjects in order to improve definition readability.

At the same time, remove the "bat_" prefix from the API object and
its fields names. These are batman-adv private structs and there is no
need to always prepend such prefix, which only makes function invocations
much much longer.

Antonio Quartulli 8d2d499e08 batman-adv: ELP - send unicast ELP packets for throughput sampling
In case of an unused wireless link, the mac80211 throughput estimation
won't get updated further. Consequently, the reported throughput metric
will become obsolete.

With this patch unicast sampling is introduced by periodically sending
unicast ELP packets to each neighbor on idle WiFi links. These sampling
packets will fill an entire frame, so that the measurement is as
reliable as possible

Antonio Quartulli c833484e5f batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughput
In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by
querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work
must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this
is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this
case is used to iterate over all the neighbours).

Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link
like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g.
100/10Mbps).

The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent,
this way it is possible to timely react to a metric
variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour
disconnection.

Antonio Quartulli 95d392784d batman-adv: keep track of when unicast packets are sent
To enable ELP to send probing packets over wireless links
only if needed, batman-adv must keep track of the last time
it sent a unicast packet towards every neighbour.

For this purpose a 2 main changes are introduced:
1) a new member of the elp_neigh_node structure stores the
   last time a unicast packet was sent towards this neighbour;
2) a wrapper function for sending unicast packets is
   implemented. This function will simply update the member
   describe din point 1) and then forward the packet to the
   real sending routine.

Point 2) implies that any code-path leading to a unicast
sending now has to use the new wrapper.

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.
