79a0bffb83 batman-adv: Drop NULL check before dropping references
The check if a batman-adv related object is NULL or not is now directly in
the batadv_*_put functions. It is not needed anymore to perform this check
outside these function:

The changes were generated using a coccinelle semantic patch:

cfa55c6d47 batman-adv: Drop publication years from copyright info
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This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright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.

d8bf0c0164 batman-adv: Fix own OGM check in aggregated OGMs
The own OGM check is currently misplaced and can lead to the following
issues:

For one thing we might receive an aggregated OGM from a neighbor node
which has our own OGM in the first place. We would then not only skip
our own OGM but erroneously also any other, following OGM in the
aggregate.

For another, we might receive an OGM aggregate which has our own OGM in
a place other then the first one. Then we would wrongly not skip this
OGM, leading to populating the orginator and gateway table with ourself.

0093870aa8 batman-adv: Migrate to linux/prandom.h
The commit c0842fbc1b ("random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit

functions from (previously) linux/random.h. One future goal of the
prandom.h change is to make code to switch just the new header file and to
avoid the implicit include. This would allow the removal of the implicit

3bda14d09d batman-adv: Introduce a configurable per interface hop penalty
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.

6f91a3f7af batman-adv: Fix refcnt leak in batadv_v_ogm_process
batadv_v_ogm_process() invokes batadv_hardif_neigh_get(), which returns
a reference of the neighbor object to "hardif_neigh" with increased
refcount.

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

The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling paths of
batadv_v_ogm_process(). When batadv_v_ogm_orig_get() fails to get the
orig node and returns NULL, the refcnt increased by
batadv_hardif_neigh_get() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by jumping to "out" label when batadv_v_ogm_orig_get()
fails to get the orig node.

a8d23cbbf6 batman-adv: Avoid free/alloc race when handling OGM2 buffer
A B.A.T.M.A.N. V virtual interface has an OGM2 packet buffer which is
initialized using data from the netdevice notifier and other rtnetlink
related hooks. It is sent regularly via various slave interfaces of the
batadv virtual interface and in this process also modified (realloced) to
integrate additional state information via TVLV containers.

It must be avoided that the worker item is executed without a common lock
with the netdevice notifier/rtnetlink helpers. Otherwise it can either
happen that half modified data is sent out or the functions modifying the
OGM2 buffer try to access already freed memory regions.

0ff0f15a32 batman-adv: Only read OGM2 tvlv_len after buffer len check
Multiple batadv_ogm2_packet can be stored in an skbuff. The functions
batadv_v_ogm_send_to_if() uses batadv_v_ogm_aggr_packet() to check if there
is another additional batadv_ogm2_packet in the skb or not before they
continue processing the packet.

The length for such an OGM2 is BATADV_OGM2_HLEN +
batadv_ogm2_packet->tvlv_len. The check must first check that at least
BATADV_OGM2_HLEN bytes are available before it accesses tvlv_len (which is
part of the header. Otherwise it might try read outside of the currently
available skbuff to get the content of tvlv_len.

3111beed0d batman-adv: Simple (re)broadcast avoidance
With this patch, (re)broadcasting on a specific interfaces is avoided:

* No neighbor: There is no need to broadcast on an interface if there
  is no node behind it.

* Single neighbor is source: If there is just one neighbor on an
  interface and if this neighbor is the one we actually got this
  broadcast packet from, then we do not need to echo it back.

* Single neighbor is originator: If there is just one neighbor on
  an interface and if this neighbor is the originator of this
  broadcast packet, then we do not need to echo it back.

Goodies for BATMAN V:

("Upgrade your BATMAN IV network to V now to get these for free!")

Thanks to the split of OGMv1 into two packet types, OGMv2 and ELP
that is, we can now apply the same optimizations stated above to OGMv2
packets, too.

Furthermore, with BATMAN V, rebroadcasts can be reduced in certain
multi interface cases, too, where BATMAN IV cannot. This is thanks to
the removal of the "secondary interface originator" concept in BATMAN V.

273534468f batman-adv: Check hard_iface refcnt before calling function
The batadv_hardif_list list is checked in many situations and the items
in this list are given to specialized functions to modify the routing
behavior. At the moment each of these called functions has to check
itself whether the received batadv_hard_iface has a refcount > 0 before
it can increase the reference counter and use it in other objects.

This can easily lead to problems because it is not easily visible where
all callers of a function got the batadv_hard_iface object from and
whether they already hold a valid reference.

Checking the reference counter directly before calling a subfunction
with a pointer from the batadv_hardif_list avoids this problem.

86de37c1fb batman-adv: Merge batadv_v_ogm_orig_update into batadv_v_ogm_route_update
Since batadv_v_ogm_orig_update() was only called from one place and the
calling function became very short, merge these two functions together.

This should also reflect the protocol description of B.A.T.M.A.N. V
better.

efcc9d3069 batman-adv: move and restructure batadv_v_ogm_forward
To match our code better to the protocol description of B.A.T.M.A.N. V,
move batadv_v_ogm_forward() out into batadv_v_ogm_process_per_outif()
and move all checks directly deciding whether the OGM should be
forwarded into batadv_v_ogm_forward().

c833484e5f batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughput
In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by
querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work
must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this
is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this
case is used to iterate over all the neighbours).

Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link
like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g.
100/10Mbps).

The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent,
this way it is possible to timely react to a metric
variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour
disconnection.

95d392784d batman-adv: keep track of when unicast packets are sent
To enable ELP to send probing packets over wireless links
only if needed, batman-adv must keep track of the last time
it sent a unicast packet towards every neighbour.

For this purpose a 2 main changes are introduced:
1) a new member of the elp_neigh_node structure stores the
   last time a unicast packet was sent towards this neighbour;
2) a wrapper function for sending unicast packets is
   implemented. This function will simply update the member
   describe din point 1) and then forward the packet to the
   real sending routine.

Point 2) implies that any code-path leading to a unicast
sending now has to use the new wrapper.

0da0035942 batman-adv: OGMv2 - add basic infrastructure
This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol
(version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the
newly added ELP.

In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both
measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric
information. In this version the protocol is in charge of
the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP.

This means being able to decouple the interval used by the
neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed
to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so
leading to a less responsive routing protocol.
