Xiyu Yang 6107c5da0f batman-adv: Fix refcnt leak in batadv_store_throughput_override
batadv_show_throughput_override() invokes batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev(),
which gets a batadv_hard_iface object from net_dev with increased refcnt
and its reference is assigned to a local pointer 'hard_iface'.

When batadv_store_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The issue happens in one error path of
batadv_store_throughput_override(). When batadv_parse_throughput()
returns NULL, the refcnt increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() is
not decreased, causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by jumping to "out" label when batadv_parse_throughput()
returns NULL.

Xiyu Yang f872de8185 batman-adv: Fix refcnt leak in batadv_show_throughput_override

and its reference is assigned to a local pointer 'hard_iface'.

When batadv_show_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes

The issue happens in the normal path of
batadv_show_throughput_override(), which forgets to decrease the refcnt
increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() before the function returns,
causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling batadv_hardif_put() before the
batadv_show_throughput_override() returns in the normal path.

Sven Eckelmann 529a8f939a batman-adv: Replace usage of strlcpy with strscpy
The strscpy was introduced to fix some API problems around strlcpy. And
checkpatch started to report recently that strlcpy is deprecated and
strscpy is preferred.

The functionality introduced in commit 30035e4575 ("string: provide
strscpy()") improves following points compared to strlcpy:

* it doesn't read from memory beyond (src + size)
* provides an easy way to check for destination buffer overflow
* robust against asynchronous source buffer changes

Since batman-adv doesn't depend on any of the previously mentioned behavior
changes, the usage of strlcpy can simply be replaced by strscpy to silence
checkpatch.

Sven Eckelmann e2d0d35b5b batman-adv: Add gateway mesh genl configuration
The mesh/soft-interface can optimize the handling of DHCP packets. Instead
of flooding them through the whole mesh, it can be forwarded as unicast to
a specific gateway server. The originator which injects the packets in the
mesh has to select (based on sel_class thresholds) a responsible gateway
server. This is done by switching this originator to the gw_mode client.
The servers announce their forwarding bandwidth (download/upload) when the
gw_mode server was selected.

The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the
configuration of this feature using the attributes:

* u8 BATADV_ATTR_GW_MODE (0 == off, 1 == client, 2 == server)
* u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_DOWN (in 100 kbit/s steps)
* u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_BANDWIDTH_UP (in 100 kbit/s steps)

Sven Eckelmann a25bab9d72 batman-adv: Fix segfault when writing to sysfs elp_interval
The per hardif sysfs file "batman_adv/elp_interval" is using the generic
functions to store/show uint values. The helper __batadv_store_uint_attr
requires the softif net_device as parameter to print the resulting change
as info text when the users writes to this file. It uses the helper
function batadv_info to add it at the same time to the kernel ring buffer
and to the batman-adv debug log (when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is enabled).

The function batadv_info requires as first parameter the batman-adv softif
net_device. This parameter is then used to find the private buffer which
contains the debug log for this batman-adv interface. But
batadv_store_throughput_override used as first argument the slave
net_device. This slave device doesn't have the batadv_priv private data
which is access by batadv_info.

Writing to this file with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG enabled can either lead
to a segfault or to memory corruption.

However, such APIs are not mandatory, therefore we might have algorithms

The B.A.T.M.A.N. V algorithm uses a different metric compared to its
predecessor and for this reason the logic used to compute the best
Gateway is also changed. This means that the GW selection class
fed to this logic has a semantics that depends on the algorithm being
used.

Make the parsing and printing routine of the GW selection class
routing algorithm specific. Each algorithm can now parse (and print)
this value independently.

If no API is provided by any algorithm, the default is to use the
current mechanism of considering such value like an integer between
1 and 255.

Sven Eckelmann f4acb1086b batman-adv: Avoid sysfs name collision for netns moves
The kobject_put is only removing the sysfs entry and corresponding entries
when its reference counter becomes zero. This tends to lead to collisions
when a device is moved between two different network namespaces because
some of the sysfs files have to be removed first and then added again to
the already moved sysfs entry.

    kobject_add_internal failed for batman_adv with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

But the caller of kobject_put can already remove the sysfs entry before it
does the kobject_put. This removal is done even when the reference counter
is not yet zero and thus avoids the problem.

Sven Eckelmann 77d69d8ce1 batman-adv: Modify mesh_iface outside sysfs context
The legacy sysfs interface to modify interfaces belonging to batman-adv
is run inside a region holding s_lock. And to add a net_device, it has
to also get the rtnl_lock. This is exactly the other way around than in
other virtual net_devices and conflicts with netdevice notifier which
executes inside rtnl_lock.

The inverted lock situation is currently solved by executing the removal
of netdevices via workqueue. The workqueue isn't executed inside
rtnl_lock and thus can independently get the s_lock and the rtnl_lock.

But this workaround fails when the netdevice notifier creates events in
quick succession and the earlier triggered removal of a net_device isn't
processed in the workqueue before the adding of the new netdevice (with
same name) event is issued.

Instead the legacy sysfs interface store events have to be enqueued in
a workqueue to loose the s_lock. The worker is then free to get the
required locks and the deadlock is avoided.

Simon Wunderlich cd9c7bfbba batman-adv: add detection for complex bridge loops
There are network setups where the current bridge loop avoidance can't
detect bridge loops. The minimal setup affected would consist of two
LANs and two separate meshes, connected in a ring like that:

   A...(mesh1)...B
   |             |
 (LAN1)        (LAN2)
   |             |
   C...(mesh2)...D

Since both the meshes and backbones are separate, the bridge loop
avoidance has not enough information to detect and avoid the loop
in this case. Even if these scenarios can't be fixed easily,
these kind of loops can be detected.

This patch implements a periodic check (running every 60 seconds for
now) which sends a broadcast frame with a random MAC address on
each backbone VLAN. If a broadcast frame with the same MAC address
is received shortly after on the mesh, we know that there must be a
loop and report that incident as well as throw an uevent to let others
handle that problem.

Linus Luessing 0744ff8fa8 batman-adv: Add hard_iface specific sysfs wrapper macros for UINT
This allows us to easily add a sysfs parameter for an
unsigned int later, which is not for a batman mesh interface
(e.g. bat0), but for a common interface instead. It allows
reading and writing an atomic_t in hard_iface (instead of
bat_priv compared to the mesh variant).

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

Sven Eckelmann 9c3bf08189 batman-adv: Rename batadv_softif_vlan *_free_ref function to *_put
The batman-adv source code is the only place in the kernel which uses the
*_free_ref naming scheme for the *_put functions. Changing it to *_put
makes it more consistent and makes it easier to understand the connection
to the *_get functions.

Sven Eckelmann 6be4d30c18 batman-adv: Convert batadv_softif_vlan to kref
batman-adv uses a self-written reference implementation which is just based
on atomic_t. This is less obvious when reading the code than kref and
therefore increases the change that the reference counting will be missed.

no changes, which is redundant for the functions currently using these

Simon Wunderlich d68081a240 batman-adv: purge bridge loop avoidance when its disabled
When bridge loop avoidance is disabled through sysfs, the internal
datastructures are not disabled, but only BLA operations are disabled.
To be sure that they are removed, purge the data immediately. That is
especially useful if a firmwares network state is changed, and the BLA
wait periods should restart on the new network.

(s|u)(8|16|32|64) are the preferred types in the kernel. The use of the
standard C99 types u?int(8|16|32|64)_t are objected by some people and even
checkpatch now warns about using them.

Sven Eckelmann 1e2c2a4fe4 batman-adv: Add required includes to all files
The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is
happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used.
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.
