Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] batman-adv: iv: recover OGM scheduling after forward packet error
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 20:10:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260529181000.415087-1-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026052853-uncolored-outnumber-8091@gregkh>

commit aa3153bd139a6c48667dcd02608d3b2c80bff02c upstream.

When batadv_iv_ogm_schedule_buff() fails to allocate and queue a forward
packet for OGM transmission, the work item that drives periodic OGM
scheduling is never re-armed. This silently halts transmission of the
node's own OGMs on the affected interface — only OGMs from other peers
continue to be aggregated and forwarded.

Fix this by tracking whether batadv_iv_ogm_queue_add() (and transitively
batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new()) successfully scheduled a forward packet.
When scheduling fails, batadv_iv_ogm_schedule_buff() falls back to queuing
a dedicated recovery work item (reschedule_work) that fires after one
originator interval and calls batadv_iv_ogm_schedule() again.
