| * batman-adv: Disallow regular interface as mesh deviceSven Eckelmann2011-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When trying to associate a net_device with another net_device which already exists, batman-adv assumes that this interface is a fully initialized batman mesh interface without checking it. The behaviour when accessing data behind netdev_priv of a random net_device is undefined and potentially dangerous.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Fix possible buffer overflow in softif neigh list outputLinus Lüssing2011-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When printing the soft interface table the number of entries in the softif neigh list are first being counted and a fitting buffer allocated. After that the softif neigh list gets locked again and the buffer printed - which has the following two issues: For one thing, the softif neigh list might have grown when reacquiring the rcu lock, which results in writing outside of the allocated buffer. Furthermore 31 Bytes are not enough for printing an entry with a vid of more than 2 digits. The manual buffering is unnecessary, we can safely print to the seq directly during the rcu_read_lock().

| * batman-adv: make broadcast seqno operations atomicMarek Lindner2011-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Batman-adv could receive several payload broadcasts at the same time that would trigger access to the broadcast seqno sliding window to determine whether this is a new broadcast or not. If these incoming broadcasts are accessing the sliding window simultaneously it could be left in an inconsistent state. Therefore it is necessary to make sure this access is atomic.

| * batman-adv: Disallow originator addressing within mesh layerLinus Lüssing2011-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a host in the mesh network, the batman layer should be transparent. However, we had one exception, data packets within the mesh network which have the same destination as a originator are being routed to that node, although there is no host that node's bat0 interface and therefore gets dropped anyway.

| * batman-adv: Use successive sequence numbers for fragmentsSven Eckelmann2011-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The two fragments of an unicast packet must have successive sequence numbers to allow the receiver side to detect matching fragments and merge them again. The current implementation doesn't provide that property because a sequence of two atomic_inc_return may be interleaved with another sequence which also changes the variable. The access to the fragment sequence number pool has either to be protected by correct locking or it has to reserve two sequence numbers in a single fetch. The latter one can easily be done by increasing the value of the last used sequence number by 2 in a single step. The generated window of two currently unused sequence numbers can now be scattered across the two fragments.

| * batman-adv: Calculate correct size for merged packetsSven Eckelmann2011-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The routing algorithm must be able to decide if a fragment can be merged with the missing part and still be passed to a forwarding interface. The fragments can only differ by one byte in case that the original payload had an uneven length. In that situation the sender has to inform all possible receivers that the tail is one byte longer using the flag UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL. The combination of UNI_FRAG_LARGETAIL and UNI_FRAG_HEAD flag makes it possible to calculate the correct length for even and uneven sized payloads. The original formula missed to add the unicast header at all and forgot to remove the fragment header of the second fragment. This made the results highly unreliable and only useful for machines with large differences between the configured MTUs.

| * batman-adv: Create roughly equal sized fragmentsSven Eckelmann2011-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The routing algorithm must know how large two fragments are to be able to decide that it is safe to merge them or if it should resubmit without waiting for the second part. When these two fragments have a too different size, it is not possible to guess right in every situation. The user could easily configure the MTU of the attached cards so that one fragment is forwarded and the other one is added to the fragments table to wait for the missing part. For even sized packets, it is possible to split it so that the resulting packages are equal sized by ignoring the old non-fragment header at the beginning of the original packet. This still creates different sized fragments for uneven sized packets.

* | batman-adv: Make vis info stack traversal threadsafeSven Eckelmann2011-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The batman-adv vis server has to a stack which stores all information about packets which should be send later. This stack is protected with a spinlock that is used to prevent concurrent write access to it. The send_vis_packets function has to take all elements from the stack and send them to other hosts over the primary interface. The send will be initiated without the lock which protects the stack. The implementation using list_for_each_entry_safe has the problem that it stores the next element as "safe ptr" to allow the deletion of the current element in the list. The list may be modified during the unlock/lock pair in the loop body which may make the safe pointer not pointing to correct next element. It is safer to remove and use the first element from the stack until no elements are available. This does not need reduntant information which would have to be validated each time the lock was removed.
