2026-08-05batman-adv: correct NET_RX_* NET_XMIT_* confusionSven Eckelmann
batadv_recv_icmp_ttl_exceeded() is a receive function. It must therefore return NET_RX_* and not NET_XMIT_*. And batadv_send_skb_to_orig() is an xmit function and is returning NET_XMIT_*. This doesn't change the behavior because both NET_RX_SUCCESS and NET_RX_SUCCESS are using the same underlying value (0). Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2026-08-04batman-adv: switch var declarations to reverse x-mas tree orderSven Eckelmann
The network related code should use for local variable declarations an ordering scheme which orders lines longest to shortest. Initializations should only be kept in the declarations when the dependencies between them are not preventing the reverse x-mas tree order. Many functions are already using this order. The remaining ones were supposed to slowly convert to the x-mas tree order when working on them. But this never happened because the patches tried to only modify the relevant lines. Instead of getting better, the order often just became worse. Just fix the remaining offending functions to finally solve this coding style (minor) problem. The anonymous dhcp structs were only extracted to have a clean reverse x-mas tree in functions and are not yet meant as an opportunity for further cleanups.

2026-08-04batman-adv: split multiple declarations per lineSven Eckelmann
The Linux coding style suggests to use single variable declarations per line. This suggestion turned out to make reviewing patches easier when single variable declarations are modified. Instead of having to search for the modified variable, it is directly visible as a line change in the diff. Most functions are already using this style. The remaining ones are just adjusted by splitting the lines without ensuring the reverse x-mas tree order because this makes it easier to check the modification.

2026-08-04batman-adv: annotate functions which may reallocate the skbuffSven Eckelmann
When a function is called which reallocated the skbuff, it is necessary to reacquire the pointers into the skb data. Otherwise they might cause an use-after-free. But is hard to identify such case when it is not clear that helpers are actually using skb-reallocating functions. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2026-08-04batman-adv: fix kernel-doc for functions holding skb ownershipSven Eckelmann
Most functions in batman-adv will take the ownership of an skb when they receive it as argument. Their NET_RX_DROP return value is only indicating whether there was direct visible problem while processing it. The caller must not try to also free the skb when such a negative return code was received. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2026-08-04batman-adv: add missing kernel-doc commentsSven Eckelmann
batman-adv requires kernel-doc for all functions and data types visible outside their own translation unit. Promoting a function from static to module-wide visibility currently requires adding documentation from scratch. However, this burden falls on whoever promotes a function from static to module-wide visibility, rather than its original implementer. Add the missing kernel-doc comments for the remaining undocumented functions and data types to reduce the complexity for new contributions. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
2026-08-04batman-adv: tvlv: handle negative tvlv processing return codesSven Eckelmann
batadv_tvlv_containers_process() was implemented with only two return codes from the handlers in mind: * NET_RX_SUCCESS (0) * NET_RX_DROP (1) The multicast handlers broke this convention and are also returning negative return codes. But the processing code was never updated to correctly aggregate them. To handle negative return codes for non-OGM(2) handlers, they are now aggregated to: * NET_RX_SUCCESS when no handlers returned a different return code * the last negative return code when at least one handler returned a negative return code * NET_RX_DROP otherwise With the current callers, the old implementation is not triggering any unexpected behavior. The behavior is only adjusted for new code which might need more reliable return values. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

2026-06-14batman-adv: tvlv: enforce 2-byte alignmentSven Eckelmann
The fields of an aggregated OGM(v2) are accessed assuming (at least) 2-byte alignment, so a following OGM must start at an even offset. As the header length is even, an odd tvlv_len would misalign it and trigger unaligned accesses on strict-alignment architectures. Such a misaligned TVLV/OGM/OGMv2 is not created by a normal participant in the mesh. Therefore, reject such malformed packets.

2026-06-13batman-adv: frag: ensure fragment is writable before modifying TTLSven Eckelmann
Before batman-adv is allowed to write to an skb, it either has to have its own copy of the skb or use skb_cow() to ensure that the data part is not shared. But batadv_frag_skb_fwd() modifies the TTL even when it is shared. Adding a skb_cow() right before this operation avoids this and can at the same time prepare it for the modifications required to forward the fragment.

2026-06-13batman-adv: fix (m|b)cast csum after decrementing TTLSven Eckelmann
The broadcast and multicast packets can be received at the same time by the local system and forwarded to other nodes. Both are simply decrementing the TTL at the beginning of the receive path - independent of chosen paths (receive/forward). But such a modification of the data conflicts with the hw csum. This is not a problem when the packet is directly forwarded but can cause errors in the local receive path. Such a problem can then trigger a "hw csum failure". The receiver path must therefore ensure that the csum is fixed for each modification of the payload before batadv_interface_rx() is reached. Since all batman-adv packet types with a ttl have it as u8 at offset 2, a helper can be used for all of them. But it is only used at the moment for batadv_bcast_packet and batadv_mcast_packet because they are the only ones which deliver the packet locally but unconditionally modify the TTL.

2026-06-13batman-adv: ensure bcast is writable before modifying TTLSven Eckelmann
Before batman-adv is allowed to write to an skb, it either has to have its own copy of the skb or used skb_cow() to ensure that the data part is not shared. The old implementation used a shared queue and created copies before attempting to write to it. But with the new implementation, the broadcast packet is already modified when it gets received. Potentially writing to shared buffers in this process. Adding a skb_cow() right before this operation avoids this and can at the same time prepare it for the modifications required to rebroadcast the packet.

2025-09-05batman-adv: remove network coding supportSven Eckelmann
The Network Coding feature, introduced in 2013, is based on the master thesis "Inter-Flow Network Coding for Wireless Mesh Networks". It relies on the assumption that neighboring mesh nodes can reliably overhear each other's transmissions in promiscuous mode, allowing packets to be combined to reduce forwarding overhead. This assumption no longer holds for modern wireless mesh networks, which are heterogeneous and make overhearing increasingly unreliable. Factors such as multiple spatial streams, varying data rates, beamforming, and OFDMA all prevent nodes from consistently overhearing each other. The current implementation in batman-adv is not able to detect these conditions and would require a more complex layer beyond its neighbor discovery process to do so. In addition, the feature has been unmaintained for years and is discouraged for use. None of the current maintainers have the required test setup to verify its functionality, and known issues remain in its data structures (reference counting, RCU usage, and cleanup handling). Its continued presence also blocks necessary refactoring of the core originator infrastructure. Remove this obsolete and unmaintained feature.

2025-02-22batman-adv: Use consistent name for mesh interfaceSven Eckelmann
The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the code calls is (mostly) softif. The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI. But the rest of the batman-adv code can be touched to have a consistent name again. The bulk of the renaming was done using sed -i -e 's/soft\(-\|\_\| \|\)i\([nf]\)/mesh\1i\2/g' \ -e 's/SOFT\(-\|\_\| \|\)I\([NF]\)/MESH\1I\2/g' and then it was adjusted slightly when proofreading the changes.

2023-11-14batman-adv: mcast: implement multicast packet reception and forwardingLinus Lüssing
Implement functionality to receive and forward a new TVLV capable multicast packet type. The new batman-adv multicast packet type allows to contain several originator destination addresses within a TVLV. Routers on the way will potentially split the batman-adv multicast packet and adjust its tracker TVLV contents. Routing decisions are still based on the selected BATMAN IV or BATMAN V routing algorithm. So this new batman-adv multicast packet type retains the same loop-free properties. Also a new OGM multicast TVLV flag is introduced to signal to other nodes that we are capable of handling a batman-adv multicast packet and multicast tracker TVLV. And that all of our hard interfaces have an MTU of at least 1280 bytes (IPv6 minimum MTU), as a simple solution for now to avoid MTU issues while forwarding.

And provide the skb to a call to batadv_tvlv_containers_process(), as later the multicast packet's TVLV handler will need to have access not only to the TVLV but the full skb for forwarding.

2021-05-17batman-adv: bcast: queue per interface, if neededLinus Lüssing
Currently we schedule a broadcast packet like: 3x: [ [(re-)queue] --> for(hard-if): maybe-transmit ] The intention of queueing a broadcast packet multiple times is to increase robustness for wireless interfaces. However on interfaces which we only broadcast on once the queueing induces an unnecessary penalty. This patch restructures the queueing to be performed on a per interface basis: for(hard-if): - transmit - if wireless: [queue] --> transmit --> [requeue] --> transmit Next to the performance benefits on non-wireless interfaces this should also make it easier to apply alternative strategies for transmissions on wireless interfaces in the future (for instance sending via unicast transmissions on wireless interfaces, without queueing in batman-adv, if appropriate).

2020-09-05batman-adv: mcast/TT: fix wrongly dropped or rerouted packetsLinus Lüssing
The unicast packet rerouting code makes several assumptions. For instance it assumes that there is always exactly one destination in the TT. This breaks for multicast frames in a unicast packets in several ways: For one thing if there is actually no TT entry and the destination node was selected due to the multicast tvlv flags it announced. Then an intermediate node will wrongly drop the packet. For another thing if there is a TT entry but the TTVN of this entry is newer than the originally addressed destination node: Then the intermediate node will wrongly redirect the packet, leading to duplicated multicast packets at a multicast listener and missing packets at other multicast listeners or multicast routers. Fixing this by not applying the unicast packet rerouting to batman-adv unicast packets with a multicast payload. We are not able to detect a roaming multicast listener at the moment and will just continue to send the multicast frame to both the new and old destination for a while in case of such a roaming multicast listener.

2018-12-30batman-adv: Snoop DHCPACKs for DATLinus Lüssing
In a 1000 nodes mesh network (Freifunk Hamburg) we can still see 30KBit/s of ARP traffic (equalling about 25% of all layer two specific overhead, remaining after some filtering) flooded through the mesh. These 30KBit/s are mainly ARP Requests from the gateways / DHCP servers. By snooping DHCPACKs we can learn about MAC/IP address pairs in the DHCP range without relying on ARP. This patch is in preparation to eliminate the need for mesh wide message flooding for IPv4 address resolution. Also this allows to quickly update a MAC/IP pair at least in the DHT when DHCP reassigns an IP address to a new host.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here... For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel adds. Trivially resolved. In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in 'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed. In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the 'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied over here. The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code. The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial, the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and here are their notes: ==================== Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can be based. Conflicts: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524 (IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support) add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the init/de-init functions used by mlx5.

2016-11-08batman-adv: Reject unicast packet with zero/mcast dst addressSven Eckelmann
An unicast batman-adv packet cannot be transmitted to a multicast or zero mac address. So reject incoming packets which still have these classes of addresses as destination mac address in the outer ethernet header.

2016-11-08batman-adv: Disallow zero and mcast src address for mgmt framesSven Eckelmann
The routing check for management frames is validating the source mac address in the outer ethernet header. It rejects every source mac address which is a broadcast address. But it also has to reject the zero-mac address and multicast mac addresses. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich <sw@simonwunderlich.de>
2016-11-08batman-adv: Disallow mcast src address for data framesSven Eckelmann
The routing checks are validating the source mac address of the outer ethernet header. They reject every source mac address which is a broadcast address. But they also have to reject any multicast mac addresses.
