When an interface is removed from batman-adv, the orig_ifinfo of a
orig_node may be removed without releasing the router first.
This will prevent the reference for the neighbor pointed at by the
orig_ifinfo->router to be released, and this leak may result in
reference leaks for the interface used by this neighbor. Fix that.
This is a regression introduced by
7351a4822d
("batman-adv: split out router from orig_node").

current routing algorithm being used. To easily make this

specific API that each algorithm can populate with its own

Such routines are then invoked by the code when needed,
without knowing which routing algorithm is currently in use
With this patch 3 API functions are added:
- orig_free (to free routing depending internal structs)
- orig_add_if (to change the inner state of an orig_node

This change allows nodes to handle the TT table on a
per-VLAN basis. This is needed because nodes may have to
store only some of the global entries advertised by another
node.
In this scenario such nodes would re-create only a partial
global table and would not be able to compute a correct CRC
anymore.
This patch splits the logic and introduces one CRC per VLAN.
In this way a node fetching only some entries belonging to
some VLANs is still able to compute the needed CRCs and
still check the table correctness.
With this patch the shape of the TVLV-TT is changed too
because now a node needs to advertise all the CRCs of all
the VLANs that it is wired to.
The debug output of the local Translation Table now shows
the CRC along with each entry since there is not a common
value for the entire table anymore.

A TT response may be prepared and sent while the local or
global translation table is getting updated.
The worst case is when one of the tables is accessed after
its content has been recently updated but the metadata
(TTVN/CRC) has not yet. In this case the reader will get a
table content which does not match the TTVN/CRC.
This will lead to an inconsistent state and so to a TT
recovery.
To avoid entering this situation, put a lock around those TT
operations recomputing the metadata and around the TT
Response creation (the latter is the only reader that
accesses the metadata together with the table).

To use network coding efficiently, a relay must know when neighbor nodes
are likely to have enough information to be able to decode a network
coded packet. This is detected by using OGMs from batman-adv to discover
when one neighbor is in range of another neighbor. The relay check the
TLL to detect when an OGM is forwarded from one neighbor by another
neighbor, and thereby knows that the two neighbors are in range and thus
overhear packets sent by each other.
This information is saved in the orig_node struct to be used when
searching for coding opportunities. Two lists are added to the
orig_node struct: One for neighbors that can hear the orig_node
(outgoing nc_nodes) and one for neighbors that the orig_node can hear
(incoming nc_nodes).
Information about nc_nodes is kept for 10 seconds and is available
through debugfs in batman_adv/nc_nodes to use when debugging network
coding.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming
state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special
re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current
state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually
involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen:
instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a
per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells
the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not.
With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in
order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).
By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:
node1 <-- LAN --> node2
| |
wifi <-- mesh --> wifi
Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.
With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.

be negative. Hence it is correct to make the return type unsigned too.
- sizeof(int) may not be the same on ALL the architectures. Since we plan to use
choose_orig() as DHT hash function, we need to guarantee that, given the same
argument, the result is the same. Then it is correct to explicitly express
the size of the return type (and the second argument). Since the expected
length is currently 4, uint32_t is the most convenient choice.

hash_add() returns 0 on success while returns -1 either on error and on
entry already present. The caller could use such information to select
its behaviour. For this reason it is useful that hash_add() returns -1
in case on error and returns 1 in case of entry already present.

With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming,
an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point
the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting
mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to
correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet
drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover
its connections.
A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this
issue.
This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the
client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this
way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node
can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will
then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher
information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery
delay.

The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network
of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that
client from any given point in the mesh.
The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data
buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is
serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables
(table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this
MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the
OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the
client is connected to and its address in the global translation table.
It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several
issues:
- big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of
connected clients)
- high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and
OGM losses
The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client
changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of
filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes
can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the
overhead within the OGMs.
To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation
table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These
values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to
determine whether or not they need to update their translation table
information.
When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet
to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to
the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with
their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information
than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly
reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.

Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct
name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This
also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are
directly associated with p.
