2011-11-26batman-adv: unify hash_entry field position in tt_local/global_entryAntonio Quartulli
commit 93840ac40bb0d0f177ef8af74e64671be67e8c37 upstream. Function tt_response_fill_table() actually uses a tt_local_entry pointer to iterate either over the local or the global table entries (it depends on the what hash table is passed as argument). To iterate over such entries the hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() macro has to access their "hash_entry" field which MUST be at the same position in both the tt_global/local_entry structures.

2011-11-26batman-adv: add sanity check when removing global ttsSimon Wunderlich
commit 6e8014947d6469df1566e9e253805557c5c0e4e0 upstream. After removing the batman-adv module, the hash may be already gone when tt_global_del_orig() tries to clean the hash. This patch adds a sanity check to avoid this.

2011-11-26batman-adv: correctly set the data field in the TT_REPONSE packetAntonio Quartulli
commit 9d8523931f7f5eb8900077f0da0fbe6b8ad0010b upstream. In the TT_RESPONSE packet, the number of carried entries is not correctly set. This leads to a wrong interpretation of the packet payload on the receiver side causing random entries to be added to the global translation table. Therefore the latter gets always corrupted, triggering a table recovery all the time.

commit 31901264511cf20c5ed33b8649a3ca9ce28df60b upstream. Currently the counter of tt_local_entry structures (tt_local_num) is incremented each time the tt_local_reset_flags() is invoked causing the node to send wrong TT_REPONSE packets containing a copy of non-initialised memory thus corrupting other nodes global translation table and making higher level communication impossible.

2011-07-07batman-adv: keep global table consistency in case of roamingAntonio Quartulli
To keep consistency of other originator tables, new clients detected as roamed, are kept in the global table but are marked as TT_CLIENT_PENDING They are purged only when the new ttvn is received by the corresponding originator.

2011-07-07batman-adv: keep local table consistency for further TT_RESPONSEAntonio Quartulli
To keep transtable consistency among all the nodes, an originator must not send not yet announced clients within a full table TT_RESPONSE. Instead, deleted client have to be kept in the table in order to be sent within an immediate TT_RESPONSE. In this way all the nodes in the network will always provide the same response for the same request. All the modification are committed at the next ttvn increment event.

2011-07-05batman-adv: unify flags for tt_change/tt_local_entry/tt_global_entryAntonio Quartulli
The tt_local_entry structure now has a 'flags' field. This helps to unify the flags format to all the client related structures (tt_global_entry and tt_change). The 'never_purge' field is now encoded in the 'flags' one. To optimise the usage of this field, its length has been increased to 16bit in order to use the eight leading bits (from 0 to 7) to store flags that have to be sent on the wire, while the eight ending ones are used for local computation only. Moreover 'enum tt_change_flags' is now called 'enum tt_client_flags' and the defined values apply to the tt_local_entry, tt_global_entry and the tt_change 'flags' field.

2011-06-20batman-adv: improved roaming mechanismAntonio Quartulli
With the current client announcement implementation, in case of roaming, an update is triggered on the new AP serving the client. At that point the new information is spread around by means of the OGM broadcasting mechanism. Until this operations is not executed, no node is able to correctly route traffic towards the client. This obviously causes packet drops and introduces a delay in the time needed by the client to recover its connections. A new packet type called ROAMING_ADVERTISEMENT is added to account this issue. This message is sent in case of roaming from the new AP serving the client to the old one and will contain the client MAC address. In this way an out-of-OGM update is immediately committed, so that the old node can update its global translation table. Traffic reaching this node will then be redirected to the correct destination utilising the fresher information. Thus reducing the packet drops and the connection recovery delay.

2011-06-20batman-adv: improved client announcement mechanismAntonio Quartulli
The client announcement mechanism informs every mesh node in the network of any connected non-mesh client, in order to find the path towards that client from any given point in the mesh. The old implementation was based on the simple idea of appending a data buffer to each OGM containing all the client MAC addresses the node is serving. All other nodes can populate their global translation tables (table which links client MAC addresses to node addresses) using this MAC address buffer and linking it to the node's address contained in the OGM. A node that wants to contact a client has to lookup the node the client is connected to and its address in the global translation table. It is easy to understand that this implementation suffers from several issues: - big overhead (each and every OGM contains the entire list of connected clients) - high latencies for client route updates due to long OGM trip time and OGM losses The new implementation addresses these issues by appending client changes (new client joined or a client left) to the OGM instead of filling it with all the client addresses each time. In this way nodes can modify their global tables by means of "updates", thus reducing the overhead within the OGMs. To keep the entire network in sync each node maintains a translation table version number (ttvn) and a translation table checksum. These values are spread with the OGM to allow all the network participants to determine whether or not they need to update their translation table information. When a translation table lookup is performed in order to send a packet to a client attached to another node, the destination's ttvn is added to the payload packet. Forwarding nodes can compare the packet's ttvn with their destination's ttvn (this node could have a fresher information than the source) and re-route the packet if necessary. This greatly reduces the packet loss of clients roaming from one AP to the next.
