[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman-adv 0.2 on openwrt

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman-adv 0.2 on openwrt

[x]

hi!

as openwrt 8.09.2 still ships with an old batman-adv 0.1 module, i tried to compile a batman-adv 0.2 module.
the compile worked, the module loads, originators see each other, but on the openwrt box on bat0 tx packets stays 0 while tx dropped obviously increases with each packet to be transmitted.

the setup:
laptop debian squeeze amd64 2.6.31.12 batman-adv 0.2
laptop debian sid x86 2.6.32 batman-adv 0.2
ap openwrt 8.09.2 ixp4xx/armeb (cambria) 2.6.26.8 batman-adv 0.2

the facts:
all bridges and iptables switched off.
with plain ip on the wlan interfaces, pinging between all nodes works fine (when within reach).
all three nodes have the respective two other nodes listed as originators, and if all are within reach of each other, with originator=nexthop.
pinging via bat0 works between the two laptops.
pinging the laptops via bat0 from the ap results in no packets seen on the laptops' bat0.
pinging the ap via bat0 from a laptop results in incoming arp-requests and outgoing arp-replies seen on the ap's bat0 - but again, the arp-replies aren't seen on the laptops' bat0 (nor on the laptops' wlan interfaces).
on the ap's bat0, the tx packets counter stays at 0, while the tx dropped counter seems to increase with each packet that should be sent over it.

i enabled all logging (15) on the ap and the laptops, but found no hint in there...

the only interesting messages seem to be in dmesg, saying:
protocol 4305 is buggy, dev ath1

so to me it seems like all tx packets on bat0 on the ap are dropped, while everything else seems to work as it's supposed to.

i then tried to compile the current (r1568) version from svn for the ap. again, the compile worked, but the ap just freezes immediately when i try to load it.

i thought about trying a newer kernel for the ap, but from openwrt there's a special cambria kernel and i haven't found its config and also don't know what patches might have been applied, so i haven't had much hope for any helpful result along this path...

regards,

	Chris

Hi Chris,

I hope it's okay that I'm attaching our chatlog here:
http://pastebin.org/89225 (being stored for a month).
And just to point out, the two captures on your router:
http://filebin.ca/hzoxmj (athX)
http://filebin.ca/xtwoa (bat0)
They seem to show quite well, that batman-adv and/or the kernel
seem to drop the arp replays which the router wants to put into
the bat0 interface as you described below.
I couldn't spot anything wrong in the second dump's arp-replays
though.

Anyone else seen this "protocol 4305 is buggy, dev ath1" message
before? Could just find 6-10 years old posts on mailinglists to
this topic...

I also had tried some Debian stable versions with a 2.6.26 kernel,
and you're right in one of the last maintenance patches, a bug has
been introduced for kernel versions < 2.6.29. 
(I made another post with some call traces here:
https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/b.a.t.m.a.n/2010-February/002282.html)

Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] batman-adv 0.2 on openwrt

[Linus Lüssing]

Something I just noticed... the router (B.A.T.M.A.N., Orig:
Sparklan_1e:61:17 (00:0e:8e:1e:61:17)) is announcing the host
00:00:00:00:00:00, which is odd, isn't it? (see hzomxmj for athX
dump).

I also tried to dig a little deeper to see where this protocol 0x4305
buggy error comes from. The source is net/core/dev.c in
dev_queue_xmit_nit() with the following sectio (it hasn't been altered from
2.6.26 to 2.6.32):
------
1490                         /* skb->nh should be correctly
1491                            set by sender, so that the second statement is
1492                            just protection against buggy protocols.
1493                          */
1494                         skb_reset_mac_header(skb2);
1495 
1496                         if (skb_network_header(skb2) < skb2->data ||
1497                             skb2->network_header > skb2->tail) {
1498                                 if (net_ratelimit())
1499                                         printk(KERN_CRIT "protocol %04x is "
1500                                                "buggy, dev %s\n",
1501                                                skb2->protocol, dev->name);
1502                                 skb_reset_network_header(skb2);
1503                         }
------
So one of the two statements can only cause it. Did we forget to set
something in the skb_buff structure in batman-adv?

Cheers, Linus

Okay, had a closer look at the 2.6.26-kernel issue. Could you
please try the patch I've posted here:
https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/b.a.t.m.a.n/2010-February/002285.html
This should fix the freezing on your router with r1568-maintenance
at least.

Would be interesting to know, in case this patch works, if you are
still having this "protocol 4305 buggy" in the current batman-adv
version then (though I doubt that this issue might have vanished
there).

Cheers, Linus

hi!

i tested the patch, and the box doesn't freeze anymore when loading the module!
then i bring up the interfaces (bat0 and ath1) - ok.
then i echo ath1 >/proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces - then this happens:

Argh, okay. I guess, you had batman-adv on your laptops already
running and the wifi interfaces up when starting batman-adv on
your laptop, right?

Could you have a look, if this kernel panic also occures, when you
start batman-adv on your router first? I'd like to know if this
might be related to the bug stated here [0].


If I remember right, then you were saying that you're using the
8.09.2 release of OpenWRT. Otherwise you could have activated
"Compile the kernel with symbol table information" under "make
menuconfig" --> "Global build settings" to add some function names
to those nice numbers :)

Or does anyone of the others know if/how ksymoops could be
useful/used in this situation to extract the function names
afterwards?

Cheers, Linus

You can activate these settings manually:
make kernel_menuconfig ---> General setup  ---> Configure standard kernel 
features (for small systems)  ---> Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops

possible, i did not check whether bat0/wlan0 was up or down on my laptop (2nd one wasn't running) when i loaded the batman-adv r1568+patch module.
so i tried it again, after making sure the laptop (and nothing else) was running batman-adv.
but immediately after echo ath1 >/proc/net/batman-adv/interfaces the kernel paniced again.
this time, right before the panic, i also got:

foo:<6>batman-adv:Adding interface: ath1
foo:<6>batman-adv:Interface activated: ath1

(i didn't remove the foo: when patching, but i did add the ifdef printk undef printk).

i guess this needs a kernel compile, just compiling the module after setting these options will probably not work or not help?
i can't compile a kernel for the box because i wasn't able to find the config and possible patches used to build the cambria kernel, so i'm currently kind of stuck with the released 8.09.2 binary kernel...

You can try only recompiling the module. Not sure whether it will work or not.
Otherwise we have to fallback to the old-style (printk) debugging.  :-)

ok, tried that, the resulting module actually grew by 32B, but still just addresses, no names, sorry...

(a short excerpt:
Function entered at [<c0023890>] from [<c0030234>]
Function entered at [<c00301f0>] from [<c013c348>]
 r6:00004305 r5:c7001240 r4:c7001240
Function entered at [<c013c2c0>] from [<c013c60c>]
 r7:c71db000 r6:c7d47380 r5:c7001240 r4:c71db000
in case the full output might still help, just drop me a note)

iirc it wasn't easy to reproduce the setup - so if i can help by applying a patch, compile, and test, please just tell me what to do :)

Ehm, and another question. You said, that there's no bridging
involved. However I see two mac addresses being announced by one
of your laptops (B.A.T.M.A.N., Orig: Azurewav_8b:81:18
(00:25:d3:8b:81:18)):
- B.A.T.M.A.N. HNA: 0a:51:61:16:a1:51 (0a:51:61:16:a1:51)
- B.A.T.M.A.N. HNA: 26:46:d1:f8:8c:54 (26:46:d1:f8:8c:54)
Any idea where the first one might come from?

Cheers, Linus

hmm, can't find any of these macs in the setup. i checked the prefixes, and both ouis are local. so i guess they're the macs of bat0 interfaces (and which changed over reboots). one of them probably the local interface, and the other one probably a batman-switched one of the other laptop's bat0 (i tested both with all nodes within each other's reach, and with two nodes not within each other's reach)?
