When comparing a network ordered value with a constant, it
is better to convert the constant at compile time by means
of htons() instead of converting the value at runtime using
ntohs().
This refactoring may slightly improve the code performance.
Moreover substitute __constant_htons() with htons() since
the latter increase readability and it is smart enough to be
as efficient as the former

The goal is to provide the infrastructure for sending, receiving and
parsing information 'containers' while preserving backward
compatibility. TVLV (based on the commonly known Type Length Value
technique) was chosen as the format for those containers. Even if a
node does not know the tvlv type of a certain container it can simply
skip the current container and proceed with the next. Past experience
has shown features evolve over time, so a 'version' field was added
right from the start to allow differentiating between feature
variants - hence the name: T(ype) V(ersion) L(ength) V(alue).
This patch introduces the basic TVLV infrastructure:
* register / unregister tvlv containers to be sent with each OGM
(on primary interfaces only)
* register / unregister callback handlers to be called upon
finding the corresponding tvlv type in a tvlv buffer
* unicast tvlv send / receive API calls

batman-adv saves its table of packet handlers as a global state, so handlers
must be set up only once (and setting them up a second time will fail).
The recently-added network coding support tries to set up its handler each time
a new softif is registered, which obviously fails when more that one softif is
used (and in consequence, the softif creation fails).
Fix this by splitting up batadv_nc_init into batadv_nc_init (which is called
only once) and batadv_nc_mesh_init (which is called for each softif); in
addition batadv_nc_free is renamed to batadv_nc_mesh_free to keep naming

Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically

The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a
dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that
Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted
to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine
whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation.
However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have
to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the
conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the
RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should
be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes.
To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try
to allocate 'tb'.

When a packet is received from another node first and later from the
best next hop, this packet is dropped. However the first OGM was sent
with the BATADV_NOT_BEST_NEXT_HOP flag and thus dropped by neighbors.
The late OGM from the best neighbor is then dropped because it is a
duplicate.
If this situation happens constantly, a node might end up not forwarding
the "valid" OGMs anymore, and nodes behind will starve from not getting
valid OGMs.
Fix this by refining the duplicate checking behaviour: The actions
should depend on whether it was a duplicate for a neighbor only or for
the originator. OGMs which are not duplicates for a specific neighbor
will now be considered in batadv_iv_ogm_forward(), but only actually
forwarded for the best next hop. Therefore, late OGMs from the best
next hop are forwarded now and not dropped as duplicates anymore.

The behaviour introduced by that was quite confusing as it could lead to the

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.
The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.
An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.
Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.
Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.
Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

Unicast packet might be of type either UNICAST or
UNICAST4ADDR.
In the two cases the header size is different, but the
mechanism checking the TTVN field was assuming it to be
always of the same type (UNICAST), so failing to access the
inner Ethernet header in case of UNICAST4ADDR.
Fix this by passing the real header length as argument.

When adding a new hard interface (e.g. wlan0) to a soft interface (e.g. bat0)
and the former is already enslaved in another virtual interface (e.g. a software
bridge) batman-adv has to free it first and then continue with the adding
mechanism.
In this way the behaviour becomes consistent with what "ip link set master"
does. At the moment batman-adv enslaves the hard interface without checking for
the master device, possibly causing strange behaviours which are never wanted by
the users.

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

Before adding forward-skbs to the coding buffer, the buffer is searched
for a potential coding opportunity. If one is found, the two packets are

added to the buffer.
Network coded packets are transmitted with information about the two
receivers and the two coded packets. The first receiver is given by the
MAC header, while the second is given in the payload/bat-header. The
second receiver uses promiscuous mode to receive the packet and check
the second destination.

Two be able to network code two packets, one packet must be buffered
until the next is available. This is done in a "coding buffer", which is
essentially a hash table with lists of packets. Each entry in the hash
table corresponds to a specific src-dst pair, which has a linked list of
packets that are buffered.
This patch adds skbs to the buffer just before forwarding them. The
buffer is traversed every 10 ms, where timed skbs are removed from the
buffer and transmitted. To allow experiments with the network coding
scheme, the timeout is tunable through a file in debugfs.

To use network coding efficiently, a relay must know when neighbor nodes
are likely to have enough information to be able to decode a network
coded packet. This is detected by using OGMs from batman-adv to discover
when one neighbor is in range of another neighbor. The relay check the
TLL to detect when an OGM is forwarded from one neighbor by another
neighbor, and thereby knows that the two neighbors are in range and thus
overhear packets sent by each other.
This information is saved in the orig_node struct to be used when
searching for coding opportunities. Two lists are added to the
orig_node struct: One for neighbors that can hear the orig_node
(outgoing nc_nodes) and one for neighbors that the orig_node can hear
(incoming nc_nodes).
Information about nc_nodes is kept for 10 seconds and is available
through debugfs in batman_adv/nc_nodes to use when debugging network
coding.

Network coding exploits the 802.11 shared medium to allow multiple
packets to be sent in a single transmission. In brief, a relay can XOR
two packets, and send the coded packet to two destinations. The
receivers can decode one of the original packets by XOR'ing the coded
packet with the other original packet. This will lead to increased
throughput in topologies where two packets cross one relay.
In a simple topology with three nodes, it takes four transmissions
without network coding to get one packet from Node A to Node B and one
from Node B to Node A:
1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B
2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B
3. Node A <--- p2 ---- Node R Node B
4. Node A Node R ---- p1 ---> Node B
With network coding, the relay only needs one transmission, which saves
us one slot of valuable airtime:
1. Node A ---- p1 ---> Node R Node B
2. Node A Node R <--- p2 ---- Node B
3. Node A <- p1 x p2 - Node R - p1 x p2 -> Node B
The same principle holds for a topology including five nodes. Here the
packets from Node A and Node B are overheard by Node C and Node D,
respectively. This allows Node R to send a network coded packet to save
one transmission:
Node A Node B
| \ / |
| p1 p2 |
| \ / |
p1 > Node R < p2
| |
| / \ |
| p1 x p2 p1 x p2 |
v / \ v
/ \
Node C < > Node D
More information is available on the open-mesh.org wiki[1].
This patch adds the initial code to support network coding in
batman-adv. It sets up a worker thread to do house keeping and adds a
sysfs file to enable/disable network coding. The feature is disabled by
default, as it requires a wifi-driver with working promiscuous mode, and
also because it adds a small delay at each hop.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

A packing of 2 is necessary to avoid extra padding at the end of the struct

This patch allows clients to roam multiple times within the same
originator-interval.
To enable this new feature two key aspects that have been introduced:
1) packets are always directed to the node that was originally
serving the roamed client which will then re-route the data
to the correct destination at any point in time;
2) the client flags handling mechanism has been properly modified
in order to allow multiple roamings withinin the same orig-int.
Therefore flags are now set properly even in this scenario.

tt_poss_change is a node-wide flag which tells whether the node is in a roaming
state (a client recently moved to/away from it) in order to let it apply special
re-routing rules. However this flag does not give a clear idea of the current
state because it is not possible to understand *which client* is actually
involved in the roaming. For this reason a better approach has been chosen:
instead of using a node-wide variable, the roaming state is now given by a
per-tt_entry ROAM flag which, in case of packet coming through the node, tells
the node whether the real destination is in roaming state or not.
With this flag change, batadv_check_unicast_ttvn() has also been rearranged in
order to better fit the new re-routing logic and to be much more readable.

If receiving an OGM from a neighbor other than the currently selected

neighbor provides a more symmetric link than the currently selected one.
However this symmetry check currently is broken if the interface of the
neighbor we received the OGM from and the one of the currently selected
neighbor differ: We are currently trying to determine the symmetry of the
link towards the selected router via the link we received the OGM from
instead of just checking via the link towards the currently selected
router.
This leads to way more route switches than necessary and can lead to

With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.
This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.
This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.
