2016-05-10batman-adv: Create batman soft interfaces within correct netns.Andrew Lunn
When creating a soft interface, create it in the same netns as the hard interface. Replace all references to init_net with the correct name space for the interface being manipulated.

2016-02-23batman-adv: Rename batadv_hardif *_free_ref function to *_putSven Eckelmann
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.

2016-02-10batman-adv: Convert batadv_hard_iface to krefSven Eckelmann
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.

2016-02-10batman-adv: Drop reference to netdevice on last referenceSven Eckelmann

2016-01-16batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_hard_iface free functionSven Eckelmann
It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore. But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions have to use batadv_hardif_free_ref.

2015-06-07batman-adv: Add required includes to all filesSven Eckelmann
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.

2014-01-12batman-adv: add WiFi penaltySimon Wunderlich
If the same interface is used for sending and receiving, there might be throughput degradation on half-duplex interfaces such as WiFi. Add a penalty if the same interface is used to reflect this problem in the metric. At the same time, change the hop penalty from 30 to 15 so there will be no change for single wifi mesh network. the effective hop penalty will stay at 30 due to the new wifi penalty for these networks.

2014-01-12batman-adv: split tq information in neigh_node structSimon Wunderlich
For the network wide multi interface optimization it is required to save metrics per outgoing interface in one neighbor. Therefore a new type is introduced to keep interface-specific information. This also requires some changes in access and list management. The compare and equiv_or_better API calls are changed to take the outgoing interface into consideration.

2014-01-08batman-adv: remove FSF address from GPL disclaimerAntonio Quartulli
As suggested by checkpatch, remove all the references to the FSF address since the kernel already has one reference in its documentation.

2013-10-23batman-adv: invoke dev_get_by_index() outside of is_wifi_iface()Antonio Quartulli
Upcoming changes need to perform other checks on the incoming net_device struct. To avoid performing dev_get_by_index() for each and every check, it is better to move it outside of is_wifi_iface() and search the netdev object once only.

2013-03-27batman-adv: Don't always delete softif when last slave was removedSven Eckelmann
batman-adv has an unusual way to manage softinterfaces. These will be created automatically when a user writes to the batman-adv/mesh_iface file in sysfs and removed when no slave device exists anymore. This behaviour cannot be changed without breaking compatibility with existing code. Instead other interfaces should be able to slightly reduce this behaviour and provide a more common reaction to a removal of a slave interface.

2012-06-24batman-adv: Prefix hard-interface static inline functions with batadv_Sven Eckelmann
All non-static symbols of batman-adv were prefixed with batadv_ to avoid collisions with other symbols of the kernel. Other symbols of batman-adv should use the same prefix to keep the naming scheme consistent. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2012-06-20batman-adv: Reformat multiline comments to consistent styleSven Eckelmann
batman-adv doesn't follow the style for multiline comments that David S. Miller prefers. All comments should be reformatted to follow this consistent style to make the code slightly more readable. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2012-06-20batman-adv: Prefix hard-interface non-static functions with batadv_Sven Eckelmann
batman-adv can be compiled as part of the kernel instead of an module. In that case the linker will see all non-static symbols of batman-adv and all other non-static symbols of the kernel. This could lead to symbol collisions. A prefix for the batman-adv symbols that defines their private namespace avoids such a problem.

2011-06-09batman-adv: Use enums for related constantsSven Eckelmann
CodingStyle "Chapter 12: Macros, Enums and RTL" recommends to use enums for several related constants. Internal states can be used without defining the actual value, but all values which are visible to the outside must be defined as before. Normal values are assigned as usual and flags are defined by shifts of a bit. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

2011-03-05batman-adv: Correct rcu refcounting for batman_ifMarek Lindner
It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount operations have to be atomic. Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
