Martin Hundebøll e91ecfc64a batman-adv: Move call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() from routing.c to send.c
The call to batadv_nc_skb_forward() fits better in
batadv_send_skb_to_orig(), as this is where the actual next hop is
looked up.

To let the caller of batadv_send_skb_to_orig() know wether the skb is
transmitted, buffered or failed, the return value is changed from
boolean to int.

Antonio Quartulli eb2deb6b39 batman-adv: change VID semantic in the BLA code
In order to make batman-adv fully vlan aware later, the
semantic used for variables storing the VLAN ID values has
to be changed in order to be adapted to the new one which
will be used batman-adv wide.

In particular, the VID has to be an "_unsigned_ short int"
and its 4 MSB will be used as a flag bitfield, while the
remaining 12 bits are used to store the real VID value

Linus Lüssing 72822225bd batman-adv: Fix rcu_barrier() miss due to double call_rcu() in TT code
rcu_barrier() only waits for the currently scheduled rcu functions
to finish - it won't wait for any function scheduled via another
call_rcu() within an rcu scheduled function.

Unfortunately our batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_free_ref() does just that,
via a batadv_orig_node_free_ref() call, leading to our rcu_barrier()
call potentially missing such a batadv_orig_node_free_ref().

This patch fixes this issue by calling the batadv_orig_node_free_rcu()
directly from the rcu callback, removing the unnecessary, additional
call_rcu() layer here.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

and the former is already enslaved in another virtual interface (e.g. a software

In this way the behaviour becomes consistent with what "ip link set master"

the master device, possibly causing strange behaviours which are never wanted by

Martin Hundebøll 2df5278b02 batman-adv: network coding - receive coded packets and decode them
When receiving a network coded packet, the decoding buffer is searched
for a packet to use for decoding. The source, destination, and crc32 from
the coded packet is used to identify the wanted packet. The decoded
packet is passed to the usual unicast receiver function, as had it never
been network coded.

Martin Hundebøll 612d2b4fe0 batman-adv: network coding - save overheard and tx packets for decoding
To be able to decode a network coded packet, a node must already know
one of the two coded packets. This is done by buffering skbs before
transmission and buffering packets sniffed with promiscuous mode from
other hosts.

Packets are kept in a buffer similar to the one with forward-skbs: A
hash table, where each entry, which corresponds to a src-dst pair, has a
linked list packets.

Martin Hundebøll 3c12de9a5c batman-adv: network coding - code and transmit packets if possible
Before adding forward-skbs to the coding buffer, the buffer is searched
for a potential coding opportunity. If one is found, the two packets are
network coded and transmitted right away. If not, the forward-skb is
added to the buffer.

Network coded packets are transmitted with information about the two
receivers and the two coded packets. The first receiver is given by the
MAC header, while the second is given in the payload/bat-header. The
second receiver uses promiscuous mode to receive the packet and check
the second destination.

Martin Hundebøll 953324776d batman-adv: network coding - buffer unicast packets before forward
Two be able to network code two packets, one packet must be buffered
until the next is available. This is done in a "coding buffer", which is
essentially a hash table with lists of packets. Each entry in the hash
table corresponds to a specific src-dst pair, which has a linked list of
packets that are buffered.

This patch adds skbs to the buffer just before forwarding them. The
buffer is traversed every 10 ms, where timed skbs are removed from the
buffer and transmitted. To allow experiments with the network coding
scheme, the timeout is tunable through a file in debugfs.

Martin Hundebøll d56b1705e2 batman-adv: network coding - detect coding nodes and remove these after timeout
To use network coding efficiently, a relay must know when neighbor nodes
are likely to have enough information to be able to decode a network
coded packet. This is detected by using OGMs from batman-adv to discover
when one neighbor is in range of another neighbor. The relay check the
TLL to detect when an OGM is forwarded from one neighbor by another
neighbor, and thereby knows that the two neighbors are in range and thus
overhear packets sent by each other.

This information is saved in the orig_node struct to be used when
searching for coding opportunities. Two lists are added to the
orig_node struct: One for neighbors that can hear the orig_node
(outgoing nc_nodes) and one for neighbors that the orig_node can hear
(incoming nc_nodes).

Information about nc_nodes is kept for 10 seconds and is available
through debugfs in batman_adv/nc_nodes to use when debugging network
coding.
