| | | | | | | Several typos have been corrected and some sentences have been rephrased Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
* batman-adv: Replace version info instead of appending themSven Eckelmann2011-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | The version number of modules build outside of the tree can get revision numbers added. This is useful to give hints about the revision of a distribution package and the used patchset. The prepended source number or branch name doesn't add any additional information which would help to identify problems and can therefore be omitted.

* batman-adv: improved gateway tq-based selectionAntonio Quartulli2011-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | If a client issues a DHCPREQUEST for renewal, the packet is dropped if the old destination (the old gateway for the client) TQ is smaller than the current best gateway TQ less GW_THRESHOLD Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
* batman-adv: throw uevent in userspace on gateway add/change/del eventAntonio Quartulli2011-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | In case of new default gw, changing the default gw or deleting the default gw a uevent is triggered with type=gw, action=add/change/del and data={GW_ORIG_ADDRESS} (if any).

* batman-adv: gateway election code refactoringAntonio Quartulli2011-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | The gateway election mechanism has been a little revised. Now the gw_election is trigered by an atomic_t flag (gw_reselect) which is set to 1 in case of election needed, avoding to set curr_gw to NULL.

* batman-adv: Reduce usage of charSven Eckelmann2011-06-20
| | | | | | | | char was used in different places to store information without really using the characteristics of that data type or by ignoring the fact that char has not a well defined signedness. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
* batman-adv: use NO_FLAGS define instead of hard-coding 0Marek Lindner2011-06-09
| | | | | | | | The definition NO_FLAGS was introduced to make the code more readable and shall be used to initialize flag fields. Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
* batman-adv: Don't return value in void functionSven Eckelmann2011-06-09
| | | | | | | | gw_node_delete is defined with "void" as return type, but still tries to return a value. The called function gw_node_delete is also return as void and thus doesn't provide a value for us. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
* batman-adv: Use rcu_dereference_protected by update-sideSven Eckelmann2011-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | Usually rcu_dereference isn't necessary in situations were the RCU-protected data structure cannot change, but sparse and lockdep still need a similar functionality for analysis. rcu_dereference_protected implements the reduced version which should be used to support the dynamic and static analysis.

* batman-adv: Calculate sizeof using variable insead of typesSven Eckelmann2011-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Documentation/CodingStyle recommends to use the form p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...); to calculate the size of a struct and not the version where the struct name is spelled out to prevent bugs when the type of p changes. This also seems appropriate for manipulation of buffers when they are directly associated with p. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
* batman-adv: Add const type qualifier for pointersSven Eckelmann2011-05-30
| | | | | | | | batman-adv uses pointers which are marked as const and should not violate that type qualifier by passing it to functions which force a cast to the non-const version. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

| * batman-adv: Make bat_priv->primary_if an rcu protected pointerMarek Lindner2011-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rcu protected macros rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() for the bat_priv->primary_if need to be used, as well as spin/rcu locking.

| * batman-adv: fix gw_node_update() and gw_election()Antonio Quartulli2011-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a regression from c4aac1ab9b973798163b34939b522f01e4d28ac9 - gw_node_update() doesn't add a new gw_node in case of empty curr_gw. This means that at the beginning no gw_node is added, leading to an empty gateway list. - gw_election() is terminating in case of curr_gw == NULL. It has to terminate in case of curr_gw != NULL Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@autistici.org> Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

| * batman-adv: Make orig_node->router an rcu protected pointerLinus Lüssing2011-04-17

Otherwise we might end up using a router pointer pointing to already freed memory. Therefore this commit introduces the safe getter method orig_node_get_router().

* batman-adv: Correct rcu refcounting for orig_nodeMarek Lindner2011-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | It might be possible that 2 threads access the same data in the same rcu grace period. The first thread calls call_rcu() to decrement the refcount and free the data while the second thread increases the refcount to use the data. To avoid this race condition all refcount operations have to be atomic. Reported-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
* batman-adv: Increase orig_node refcount before releasing rcu read lockLinus Lüssing2011-03-05
| | | | | | | | | When unicast_send_skb() is increasing the orig_node's refcount another thread might have been freeing this orig_node already. We need to increase the refcount in the rcu read lock protected area to avoid that. Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@ascom.ch> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
