[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH-next 0/6] Patches for batman-adv 2015.0 release

[Sven Eckelmann]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2623 bytes --]

Hi,

I was told that batman-adv 2015.0 should be released based on patches which
are currently in Linux 4.1. I've checked the current state and it seems that
there are even patches in Linux 4.0 which aren't yet merged into the
out-of-tree module. And also patches of the Linux 4.1 kernel tree aren't
applied. The net-next merge window for Linux 4.1 is closed for this kernel but
Linus still gathers patches for it. This is also the reason why there are some
patches for batman-adv not yet in Linus tree but in David's net.git.
Interestingly, some of these patches were already merged in the out-of-tree
module - but not all.

This patchset is just to cleanup the current state of net.git. Sorry for all
the merge conflicts which may now happen with master and some patches on the
mailing list.


Included patches
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Patches which were missing:

 * https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b7a8d756fb8080ab6ba9f4a9d4056a1056245fbc
 * https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b98fe24ca7d0effdd4c47a9f681d9e4f10442827
 * https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a54acb3a6f853e8394c4cb7b6a4d93c88f13eefd


Patches which are in batman-adv master but should be in this release:

 * http://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/commit/3f74f359cb7e96bbc68d62e1fc48b04b6efb4ca7


A patch which should never ever have existed in the first place (please
correct me when I've missed the actual problem):

 * http://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge.git/commit/b53915310227cc9b029ba0fa5aae44e50a461f80


The weirdest commit is one which is in batman-adv next but can nowhere be
found in the kernel trees. It is already part of the release v2014.2.0:

 * http://git.open-mesh.org/batman-adv.git/commit/31f391475cc08724e96ab060ef4aa6503d11da8e
   (havent touched this commit because this is just too weird)


Releases
~~~~~~~~

I was also under the impression that no one really knew what will be released
and what version of the kernel tree it will be based on. How about changing
the Release-todo (see attached image)

 * maint branch is released as feature release 2015.a after linux 4.x
   is tagged
 * 2015.a.y branches are released on demand... most likely never
 * content of master becomes new maint after release

It is basically an old idea [1] with the branches renamed to keep "master" as
the main development branch (submission to David's net-next.git) and "maint" as
the branch which gathers bugfixes for net.git.

Kind regards,
	Sven

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH-next 1/6] batman-adv: ignore netdev_set_master() calls on kernels older than 2.6.39

[Sven Eckelmann]

From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>

batman-adv calls netdev_master_upper_dev_link() which is replaced with with
netdev_set_master() for kernels older than 3.9 via compat.h.
Prior to 2.6.39 netdev_set_master() contained Linux bonding calls needed to
setup bonding devices. Calling this function from batman-adv leads to
unexpected behavior when current batman-adv versions are used on these
older kernels.

To fix the situation compat.h now ships its own implementation of
netdev_set_master() which does not change the net_dev->master state
on kernels older than 2.6.39.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH-next 2/6] batman-adv: replace strnicmp with strncasecmp

[Sven Eckelmann]

From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>

The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp.  The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH-next 3/6] batman-adv: Use kasprintf

[Sven Eckelmann]

From: Himangi Saraogi <himangi774@gmail.com>

kasprintf combines kmalloc and sprintf, and takes care of the size
calculation itself.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

// <smpl>
@@
expression a,flag;
expression list args;
statement S;
@@

  a =

order in batadv_send_skb_unicast than the out-of-tree module. Fix the
order in the out-of-tree module because it is easier to get merged.

Meant was "content of master becomes new maint after current maint was 
released".

It may also be important to understand that new features in master after the 
net-next.git merge window closed should not become part of the new maint 
because they cannot be pushed to David for the next 4.x version. But this is 
not a real technical problem because the maint must not really jump to the 
latest position of the master branch HEAD - it is possible to choose a 
slightly older position and still get a fast-forward merge in git.

Kind regards,
	Sven

I moved the patch to main (not strictly necessary as maint will be replaced 
soon) and merge my way up to master.

This (subtle) problem is about compat.h. Specifically, the kfree_rcu macro 
requires a pre-defined variable name:
#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu_head) call_rcu(&ptr->rcu_head, 
batadv_free_rcu_##ptr)

void batadv_free_rcu_softif_vlan(struct rcu_head *rcu);

Antonio, can you comment ? Was it forgotten or was there a reason ?

I still don't get it. I wrote the compat code for batadv_free_rcu_* and I was 
always under the impression that it is not a problem until we have two 
functions which call kfree_rcu with the same variable name and different types 
(something which I've now hopefully solved in my kfree_rcu patch for master). 
And the patch I gave should also show that for this works fine after adding 
batadv_free_rcu_softif_vlan.

Kind regards,

Depends on your definition of "already". It was not cherry-picked when I've 
sent this patch. The commit you are referring to was cherry-picked 25 minutes 
before you wrote this mail and my patch was send 5160 minutes before your 
mail.

I was referring to the time between my cherry-pick and reading your patch

I hope Antonio is going to shed some light on the question whether that patch 
made it upstream or not. Depending on that question we can pick the 
appropriate solution.

This patch was never sent upstream, probably because it looked like some
change made for "compat.* only" and therefore it got accidentally discarded.

By the way, when I created this patch I thought that the name of the
function was supposed to match the type of the object to free because I
observed a compilation failure - this is why I created this change.

But if this is not really required then I am ok with Sven's patch.

Ok, also thought that this was the reason why this patch was never sent
upstream/should not be sent upstream.

Can you also check the "weird" patch which is in the release since 2014.2.0
but doesn't seem to be in net-next.git/linux.git?

Why this patch is not upstream I don't know - it made its way through my
pipe to net-next, but probably was never sent.

However, after re-reading this patch and quickly testing the current
behaviour with linux-4.0 I have some doubts about its usefulness.

The problem I tried to fix with this patch started by observing that
when changing the MAC address of a soft-iface VLAN (e.g. bat0.2)
ndo_set_mac_address() seemed not to be called.
Therefore with this patch I change the no-purge MAC addresses in the
local translation table when the MAC address of bat0 got changed.


I think we would need to investigate a bit more if this is still true or
not and then decide to revert or not this patch (in the latter case I
will send it to net-next).

A test that could be done consists in checking if ndo_set_mac_address()
gets invoked when changing the MAC address of any bat0.x interface.

Cheers,

We know about this discrepancy but decided to live with it because we prefer 
the variable order you can find in the out-of-tree repos but can't imagine 
David is going to accept such a trivial patch ? In fact, we were hoping some 
other change would come along allowing us to get this into the kernel.

Ok, then maybe Antonio could try to put it in the same pull request as Markus 
Pargmann's stuff or his own cleanup patches. At least the patch would have 
some nice companions which don't look too different.

Attached is an updated version of this image. It now also includes the 
development of 3 Linux-Versions (4.x, 4.y, 4.z) like the version of the 
current development process which I've tried to update last weekend [1].

The solid part of a linux development line (final of 4.x to 4.y) is around 10 
weeks (it is more like 9 weeks since some releases). A scale for the time is 
not shown anywhere because this might change in the future.


Kind regards,
	Sven

Yeah, I will probably do that.
