2021-02-06batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright infoSven Eckelmann
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 This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright holder) publishing information inside several files.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.

2020-12-04batman-adv: Allow selection of routing algorithm over rtnetlinkSven Eckelmann
A batadv net_device is associated to a B.A.T.M.A.N. routing algorithm. This algorithm has to be selected before the interface is initialized and cannot be changed after that. The only way to select this algorithm was a module parameter which specifies the default algorithm used during the creation of the net_device. This module parameter is writeable over /sys/module/batman_adv/parameters/routing_algo and thus allows switching of the routing algorithm: 1. change routing_algo parameter 2. create new batadv net_device But this is not race free because another process can be scheduled between 1 + 2 and in that time frame change the routing_algo parameter again. It is much cleaner to directly provide this information inside the rtnetlink's RTM_NEWLINK message. The two processes would be (in regards of the creation parameter of their batadv interfaces) be isolated. This also eases the integration of batadv devices inside tools like network-manager or systemd-networkd which are not expecting to operate on /sys before a new net_device is created.

2020-12-04batman-adv: Prepare infrastructure for newlink settingsSven Eckelmann
The batadv generic netlink family can be used to retrieve the current state and set various configuration settings. But there are also settings which must be set before the actual interface is created. The rtnetlink already uses IFLA_INFO_DATA to allow net_device families to transfer such configurations. The minimal required functionality for this is now available for the batadv rtnl_link_ops. Also a new IFLA class of attributes will be attached to it because rtnetlink only allows 51 different attributes but batadv_nl_attrs already contains 62 attributes.

2020-06-26batman-adv: Introduce a configurable per interface hop penaltyLinus Lüssing
In some setups multiple hard interfaces with similar link qualities or throughput values are available. But people have expressed the desire to consider one of them as a backup only. Some creative solutions are currently in use: Such people are configuring multiple batman-adv mesh/soft interfaces, wire them together with some veth pairs and then tune the hop penalty to achieve an effect similar to a tunable per interface hop penalty. This patch introduces a new, configurable, per hard interface hop penalty to simplify such setups.

2019-03-25batman-adv: Add multicast-to-unicast support for multiple targetsLinus Lüssing
With this patch multicast packets with a limited number of destinations (current default: 16) will be split and transmitted by the originator as individual unicast transmissions. Wifi broadcasts with their low bitrate are still a costly undertaking. In a mesh network this cost multiplies with the overall size of the mesh network. Therefore using multiple unicast transmissions instead of broadcast flooding is almost always less burdensome for the mesh network. The maximum amount of unicast packets can be configured via the newly introduced multicast_fanout parameter. If this limit is exceeded distribution will fall back to classic broadcast flooding. The multicast-to-unicast conversion is performed on the initial multicast sender node and counts on a final destination node, mesh-wide basis (and not next hop, neighbor node basis).

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add throughput_override hardif genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The B.A.T.M.A.N. V implementation tries to estimate the link throughput of an interface to an originator using different automatic methods. It is still possible to overwrite it the link throughput for all reachable originators via this interface. The BATADV_CMD_SET_HARDIF/BATADV_CMD_GET_HARDIF commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the u32 BATADV_ATTR_THROUGHPUT_OVERRIDE attribute. The used unit is in 100 Kbit/s. If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to estimate the throughput by itself. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add network_coding mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can use (in an homogeneous mesh) network coding, a mechanism that aims to increase the overall network throughput by fusing multiple packets in one transmission. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_NETWORK_CODING_ENABLED attribute. Setting the u8 to zero will disable this feature and setting it to something else is enabling this feature.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add multicast forceflood mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
The mesh interface can optimize the flooding of multicast packets based on the content of the global translation tables. To disable this behavior and use the broadcast-like flooding of the packets, forceflood has to be enabled. The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the BATADV_ATTR_MULTICAST_FORCEFLOOD_ENABLED attribute.

In contrast to other modules, batman-adv allows to set the debug message verbosity per mesh/soft-interface and not per module (via modparam).

The TQ (B.A.T.M.A.N. IV) and throughput values (B.A.T.M.A.N. V) are reduced when they are forwarded. One of the reductions is the penalty for traversing an additional hop. This hop_penalty (0-255) defines the percentage of reduction (0-100%). The BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH/BATADV_CMD_GET_MESH commands allow to set/get the configuration of this feature using the u8 BATADV_ATTR_HOP_PENALTY attribute.

2019-02-09batman-adv: Add gateway mesh genl configurationSven Eckelmann
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) * u32 BATADV_ATTR_GW_SEL_CLASS Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>

2019-02-09batman-adv: Prepare framework for vlan genl configSven Eckelmann
The batman-adv configuration interface was implemented solely using sysfs. This approach was condemned by non-batadv developers as "huge mistake". Instead a netlink/genl based implementation was suggested. Beside the mesh/soft-interface specific configuration, the VLANs on top of the mesh/soft-interface have configuration settings. The genl interface reflects this by allowing to get/set it using the vlan specific commands BATADV_CMD_GET_VLAN/BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN. The set command BATADV_CMD_SET_MESH will also notify interested userspace listeners of the "config" mcast group using the BATADV_CMD_SET_VLAN command message type that settings might have been changed and what the current values are.

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.
