[Antonio Quartulli]

Hello,

this is our new set of patches (actually there has been no modification from the
last pull request issued on 2011-04-07) which is now based on top of the current
net-next/master branch (commit id: 06eb4eafbdc0796d741d139a44f1253278da8611).

Let me know if there is something else wrong.

Thank you very much,
		Antonio

[PATCH 03/16] batman-adv: use ETH_ALEN instead of hardcoded numeric constants

[Antonio Quartulli]

In packet.h the numeric constant 6 is used instead of the more portable ETH_ALEN
define. This patch substitute any hardcoded value with such define.

[PATCH 04/16] batman-adv: Replace bitarray operations with bitmap

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven-KaDOiPu9UxWEi8DpZVb4nw@public.gmane.org>

bitarray.c consists mostly of functionality that is already available as part
of the standard kernel API. batman-adv could use architecture optimized code
and reduce the binary size by switching to the standard functions.

[PATCH 08/16] batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance code

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Simon Wunderlich <simon.wunderlich-Y4E02TeZ33kaBlGTGt4zH4SGEyLTKazZ@public.gmane.org>

This second version of the bridge loop avoidance for batman-adv
avoids loops between the mesh and a backbone (usually a LAN).

By connecting multiple batman-adv mesh nodes to the same ethernet
segment a loop can be created when the soft-interface is bridged
into that ethernet segment. A simple visualization of the loop
involving the most common case - a LAN as ethernet segment:

node1  <-- LAN  -->  node2
  |                   |
wifi   <-- mesh -->  wifi

Packets from the LAN (e.g. ARP broadcasts) will circle forever from
node1 or node2 over the mesh back into the LAN.

With this patch, batman recognizes backbone gateways, nodes which are
part of the mesh and backbone/LAN at the same time. Each backbone
gateway "claims" clients from within the mesh to handle them
exclusively. By restricting that only responsible backbone gateways
may handle their claimed clients traffic, loops are effectively
avoided.

[PATCH 11/16] batman-adv: allow multiple entries in tt_global_entries

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Simon Wunderlich <siwu-MaAgPAbsBIVS8oHt8HbXEIQuADTiUCJX@public.gmane.org>

as backbone gateways will all independently announce the same clients,
also the tt global table must be able to hold multiple originators per
client entry.

[PATCH 12/16] batman-adv: don't let backbone gateways exchange tt entries

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Simon Wunderlich <simon.wunderlich-Y4E02TeZ33kaBlGTGt4zH4SGEyLTKazZ@public.gmane.org>

As the backbone gateways are connected to the same backbone, they
should announce the same clients on the backbone non-exclusively.

[PATCH 13/16] batman-adv: add broadcast duplicate check

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Simon Wunderlich <simon.wunderlich-Y4E02TeZ33kaBlGTGt4zH4SGEyLTKazZ@public.gmane.org>

When multiple backbone gateways relay the same broadcast from the
backbone into the mesh, other nodes in the mesh may receive this
broadcast multiple times. To avoid this, the crc checksums of
received broadcasts are recorded and new broadcast packets with
the same content may be dropped if received by another gateway.

[PATCH 15/16] batman-adv: form groups in the bridge loop avoidance

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Simon Wunderlich <simon.wunderlich-Y4E02TeZ33kaBlGTGt4zH4SGEyLTKazZ@public.gmane.org>

backbone gateways may be part of the same LAN, but participate
in different meshes. With this patch, backbone gateways form groups by
applying the groupid of another backbone gateway if it is higher. After
forming the group, they only accept messages from backbone gateways of
the same group.

[PATCH 16/16] batman-adv: add bridge loop avoidance compile option

[Antonio Quartulli]

From: Simon Wunderlich <simon.wunderlich-Y4E02TeZ33kaBlGTGt4zH4SGEyLTKazZ@public.gmane.org>

The define CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_BLA switches the bridge loop avoidance
on - skip it, and the bridge loop avoidance is not compiled in.

This is useful if binary size should be saved or the feature is
not needed.

Sorry David,

I forgot to attach the "real" pull-request description. Here it is:

  batman-adv: add bridge loop avoidance compile option (2012-04-11 14:29:00 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Included changes:
* add my name to the maintainers list of batman-adv
* some clean up fixes
* increases the default hop-penalty in order to encourage the routing protocol
  to choose shorter routes
* renew the bridge loop avoidance mechanism

The latter mechanism was already present in batman-adv but recently the concept
has been discussed again and here comes the new implementation. Moreover we
added a compile option in order to let expert people, which think that this
mechanism is not helpful at all, disable it and save some space.

Pulled, but I think the way you're doing the bridge loop avoidance stuff
is wrong.

Don't use a Kconfig option, use a sysctl to turn the behavior off or on
at runtime instead.

Hello David and thank you for your feedback.

Actually we have either the Kconfig option (for binary size purposes) AND a
boolean attribute in our soft_interface sysfs path (to dynamically turn the
bridge loop avoidance ON and OFF as you were suggesting).

Distributions are just going to turn on everything, so for %99.999 of
users you really aren't saving anything.

It is not like that for a lot of batman-adv users that works with
embedded devices where even 10KB makes the dfference

Ok, but you also have the option of making it a seperate module
too.

Right now it's an all or nothing choice.  Once you make a Kconfig
decision, later it's harder to rebuild the kernel to fix a mistake
than to simply load the module in question.
