Antonio Quartulli 9464d07188 batman-adv: mark a local client as isolated when needed
A client sending packets which mark matches the value
configured via sysfs has to be identified as isolated using
the TT_CLIENT_ISOLA flag.

The match is mask based, meaning that only bits set in the
mask are compared with those in the mark value.

If the configured mask is equal to 0 no operation is
performed.

Such flag is then advertised within the classic client
announcement mechanism.

Antonio Quartulli 27a417e6ba batman-adv: fix size of batadv_icmp_header
struct batadv_icmp_header currently has a size of 17, which
will be padded to 20 on some architectures. Fix this by
unrolling the header into the parent structures.

Moreover keep the ICMP parsing functions as generic as they
are now by using a stub icmp_header struct during packet
parsing.

The size of the batadv_header of 3 is problematic on some architectures
which automatically pad all structures to a 32 bit boundary. To not lose

Simon Wunderlich da6b8c20a5 batman-adv: generalize batman-adv icmp packet handling
Instead of handling icmp packets only up to length of icmp_packet_rr,
the code should handle any icmp length size. Therefore the length
truncating is moved to when the packet is actually sent to userspace
(this does not support lengths longer than icmp_packet_rr yet). Longer
packets are forwarded without truncating.

This patch also cleans up some parts where the icmp header struct could
be used instead of other icmp_packet(_rr) structs to make the code more
readable.

Antonio Quartulli 0eb01568f0 batman-adv: include the sync-flags when compute the global/local table CRC
Flags covered by TT_SYNC_MASK are kept in sync among the
nodes in the network and therefore they have to be
considered while computing the global/local table CRC.

In this way a generic originator is able to understand if
its table contains the correct flags or not.

Bits from 4 to 7 in the TT flags fields are now reserved for
"synchronized" flags only.

This allows future developers to add more flags of this type
without breaking compatibility.

It's important to note that not all the remote TT flags are
synchronised. This comes from the fact that some flags are
used to inject an information once only.

Antonio Quartulli 7ea7b4a142 batman-adv: make the TT CRC logic VLAN specific
This change allows nodes to handle the TT table on a
per-VLAN basis. This is needed because nodes may have to
store only some of the global entries advertised by another
node.

In this scenario such nodes would re-create only a partial
global table and would not be able to compute a correct CRC
anymore.

This patch splits the logic and introduces one CRC per VLAN.
In this way a node fetching only some entries belonging to
some VLANs is still able to compute the needed CRCs and
still check the table correctness.

With this patch the shape of the TVLV-TT is changed too
because now a node needs to advertise all the CRCs of all
the VLANs that it is wired to.

The debug output of the local Translation Table now shows
the CRC along with each entry since there is not a common
value for the entire table anymore.

Antonio Quartulli 0bf84c160a batman-adv: create common header for ICMP packets
the icmp and the icmp_rr packets share the same initial
fields since they use the same code to be processed and
forwarded.

Extract the common fields and put them into a separate
struct so that future ICMP packets can be easily added
without bloating the packet definition.

However, keep the seqno field outside of the newly created
common header because future ICMP types may require a
bigger sequence number space.

This change breaks compatibility due to fields reordering
in the ICMP headers.

Marek Lindner ef26157747 batman-adv: tvlv - basic infrastructure
The goal is to provide the infrastructure for sending, receiving and
parsing information 'containers' while preserving backward
compatibility. TVLV (based on the commonly known Type Length Value
technique) was chosen as the format for those containers. Even if a
node does not know the tvlv type of a certain container it can simply
skip the current container and proceed with the next. Past experience
has shown features evolve over time, so a 'version' field was added
right from the start to allow differentiating between feature
variants - hence the name: T(ype) V(ersion) L(ength) V(alue).

This patch introduces the basic TVLV infrastructure:
 * register / unregister tvlv containers to be sent with each OGM
   (on primary interfaces only)
 * register / unregister callback handlers to be called upon
   finding the corresponding tvlv type in a tvlv buffer
 * unicast tvlv send / receive API calls

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.

Antonio Quartulli 30cfd02b60 batman-adv: detect not yet announced clients
With the current TT mechanism a new client joining the network is not
immediately able to communicate with other hosts because its MAC address has not
been announced yet. This situation holds until the first OGM containing its
joining event will be spread over the mesh network.

This behaviour can be acceptable in networks where the originator interval is a
small value (e.g. 1sec) but if that value is set to an higher time (e.g. 5secs)
the client could suffer from several malfunctions like DHCP client timeouts,
etc.

This patch adds an early detection mechanism that makes nodes in the network
able to recognise "not yet announced clients" by means of the broadcast packets
they emitted on connection (e.g. ARP or DHCP request). The added client will
then be confirmed upon receiving the OGM claiming it or purged if such OGM
is not received within a fixed amount of time.

Marek Lindner 13b2541b11 batman-adv: avoid temporary routing loops by being strict on forwarded OGMs
batman-adv would forward OGMs from non-besthops while replacing the the TQ
and TTL values with the values from the best hop. In certain corner cases
this leads to a temporary routing loop.
This patch changes this behavior: Only packets from best next hops are
forwarded - TQ and TTL values won't be replaced anymore. However, the protocol
needs to rebroadcast OGMs from single hop neighbors regardless of whether or
not they are the best hop. To handle this case a new flag is introduced to
alert neighboring nodes about the forwarded OGM that is not from my best
next hop. It is to be discarded by all nodes except for the one originating
