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 permanent route flapping in many common multi interface setups. This patch fixes this issue by using the right interface for this symmetry check. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing --- This fixes the route flapping observed in ticket 163 (but unfortunately doesn't fix the main issue of this ticket, the starving routes, yet). bat_iv_ogm.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/bat_iv_ogm.c b/bat_iv_ogm.c index 7f0adad..2c6b560 100644 --- a/bat_iv_ogm.c +++ b/bat_iv_ogm.c @@ -743,7 +743,8 @@ batadv_iv_ogm_orig_update(struct batadv_priv *bat_priv, if (router && (neigh_node->tq_avg == router->tq_avg)) { orig_node_tmp = router->orig_node; spin_lock_bh(&orig_node_tmp->ogm_cnt_lock); - sum_orig = orig_node_tmp->bcast_own_sum[if_incoming->if_num]; + sum_orig = orig_node_tmp-> + bcast_own_sum[router->if_incoming->if_num]; spin_unlock_bh(&orig_node_tmp->ogm_cnt_lock); orig_node_tmp = neigh_node->orig_node; -- 1.7.10.4
