Linus Lüssing 110a7c19d9 batman-adv: fix multicast-via-unicast transmission with AP isolation
[ Upstream commit f8fb3419ea ]

For multicast frames AP isolation is only supposed to be checked on
the receiving nodes and never on the originating one.

Furthermore, the isolation or wifi flag bits should only be intepreted
as such for unicast and never multicast TT entries.

By injecting flags to the multicast TT entry claimed by a single
target node it was verified in tests that this multicast address
becomes unreachable, leading to packet loss.

Omitting the "src" parameter to the batadv_transtable_search() call
successfully skipped the AP isolation check and made the target
reachable again.

Linus Lüssing 5f8156fd34 batman-adv: Fix multicast packet loss with a single WANT_ALL_IPV4/6 flag
[ Upstream commit 74c12c630f ]

As the kernel doc describes too the code is supposed to skip adding
multicast TT entries if both the WANT_ALL_IPV4 and WANT_ALL_IPV6 flags
are present.

Unfortunately, the current code even skips adding multicast TT entries
if only either the WANT_ALL_IPV4 or WANT_ALL_IPV6 is present.

This could lead to IPv6 multicast packet loss if only an IGMP but not an
MLD querier is present for instance or vice versa.

Linus Lüssing cbebd363b2 batman-adv: Use own timer for multicast TT and TVLV updates
Instead of latching onto the OGM period, this patch introduces a worker
dedicated to multicast TT and TVLV updates.

The reasoning is, that upon roaming especially the translation table
should be updated timely to minimize connectivity issues.

With BATMAN V, the idea is to greatly increase the OGM interval to
reduce overhead. Unfortunately, right now this could lead to
a bad user experience if multicast traffic is involved.

Therefore this patch introduces a fixed 500ms update interval for
multicast TT entries and the multicast TVLV.

still rely on the old debugfs files. But systems which already upgraded
their tools can save some space by disabling this feature. The default

around 11% when this feature is disabled.

Linus Lüssing 687937ab34 batman-adv: Add multicast optimization support for bridged setups
With this patch we are finally able to support multicast optimizations
in bridged setups, too. So far, if a bridge was added on top of a
soft-interface (e.g. bat0) the batman-adv multicast optimizations
needed to be disabled to avoid packetloss.

Current Linux bridge implementations and API can now provide us
with the so far missing information about interested but "remote"
multicast receivers behind bridge ports.

The Linux bridge performs the detection of remote participants
interested in multicast packets with its own and mature so
called IGMP and MLD snooping code and stores that in its
database. With the new API provided by the bridge batman-adv can
now simply hook into this database.

We then reliably announce the gathered multicast listeners to
other nodes through the batman-adv translation table.

Additionally, the Linux bridge provides us with the information about
whether an IGMP/MLD querier exists. If there is none then we need to
disable multicast optimizations as we cannot learn about multicast
listeners on external, bridged-in host then.

Linus Lüssing bd2a979e53 batman-adv: Always flood IGMP/MLD reports
With this patch IGMP or MLD reports are always flooded. This is
necessary for the upcoming bridge integration to function without
multicast packet loss.

With the report handling so far bridges might miss interested multicast
listeners, leading to wrongly excluding ports from multicast packet
forwarding.

Currently we are treating IGMP/MLD reports, the messages bridges use to
learn about interested multicast listeners, just as any other multicast
packet: We try to send them to nodes matching its multicast destination.

Unfortunately, the destination address of reports of the older
IGMPv2/MLDv1 protocol families do not strictly adhere to their own
protocol: More precisely, the interested receiver, an IGMPv2 or MLDv1
querier, itself usually does not listen to the multicast destination
address of any reports.

Therefore with this patch we are simply excluding IGMP/MLD reports from
the multicast forwarding code path and keep flooding them. By that
any bridge receives them and can properly learn about listeners.

To avoid compatibility issues with older nodes not yet implementing this
report handling, we need to force them to flood reports: We do this by
bumping the multicast TVLV version to 2, effectively disabling their
multicast optimization.

Linus Lüssing 8a4023c5b5 batman-adv: Fix potential synchronization issues in mcast tvlv handler
So far the mcast tvlv handler did not anticipate the processing of
multiple incoming OGMs from the same originator at the same time. This
can lead to various issues:

* Broken refcounting: For instance two mcast handlers might both assume
  that an originator just got multicast capabilities and will together
  wrongly decrease mcast.num_disabled by two, potentially leading to
  an integer underflow.

* Potential kernel panic on hlist_del_rcu(): Two mcast handlers might
  one after another try to do an
  hlist_del_rcu(&orig->mcast_want_all_*_node). The second one will
  cause memory corruption / crashes.
  (Reported by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>)

Right in the beginning the code path makes assumptions about the current
multicast related state of an originator and bases all updates on that. The
easiest and least error prune way to fix the issues in this case is to
serialize multiple mcast handler invocations with a spinlock.

Sven Eckelmann 1e2c2a4fe4 batman-adv: Add required includes to all files
The header files could not be build indepdent from each other. This is
happened because headers didn't include the files for things they've used.
This was problematic because the success of a build depended on the
knowledge about the right order of local includes.

Also source files were not including everything they've used explicitly.
Instead they required that transitive includes are always stable. This is
problematic because some transitive includes are not obvious, depend on
config settings and may not be stable in the future.

The order for include blocks are:

 * primary headers (main.h and the *.h file of a *.c file)
 * global linux headers
 * required local headers
 * extra forward declarations for pointers in function/struct declarations

The only exceptions are linux/bitops.h and linux/if_ether.h in packet.h.
This header file is shared with userspace applications like batctl and must
therefore build together with userspace applications. The header
linux/bitops.h is not part of the uapi headers and linux/if_ether.h
conflicts with the musl implementation of netinet/if_ether.h. The
maintainers rejected the use of __KERNEL__ preprocessor checks and thus
these two headers are only in main.h. All files using packet.h first have
to include main.h to work correctly.

Linus Lüssing a5164886b0 batman-adv: fix multicast counter when purging originators

A not yet quite initialized orig_node (meaning it did not have its turn

this and will lead to a counter imbalance.

Fixing this by adding a check whether the orig_node is mcast-initalized

Linus Lüssing 4c8755d69c batman-adv: Send multicast packets to nodes with a WANT_ALL flag
With this patch a node sends IPv4 multicast packets to nodes which
have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV4 flag set and IPv6 multicast packets
to nodes which have a BATADV_MCAST_WANT_ALL_IPV6 flag set, too.

Why is this needed? There are scenarios involving bridges where
multicast report snooping and multicast TT announcements are not
sufficient, which would lead to packet loss for some nodes otherwise:

MLDv1 and IGMPv1/IGMPv2 have a suppression mechanism
for multicast listener reports. When we have an MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2
querier behind a bridge then our snooping bridge is potentially not
going to see any reports even though listeners exist because according
to RFC4541 such reports are only forwarded to multicast routers:

-----------------------------------------------------------
            ---------------
{Querier}---|Snoop. Switch|----{Listener}
            ---------------
                       \           ^
                      -------
                      | br0 |  <  ???
                      -------
                          \
                     _-~---~_
                 _-~/        ~-_
                ~   batman-adv  \-----{Sender}
                \~_   cloud    ~/
                   -~~__-__-~_/

I)  MLDv1 Query:  {Querier}  -> flooded
II) MLDv1 Report: {Listener} -> {Querier}

-> br0 cannot detect the {Listener}
=> Packets from {Sender} need to be forwarded to all
   detected listeners and MLDv1/IGMPv1/IGMPv2 queriers.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Note that we do not need to explicitly forward to MLDv2/IGMPv3 queriers,
because these protocols have no report suppression: A bridge has no
trouble detecting MLDv2/IGMPv3 listeners.

Even though we do not support bridges yet we need to provide the
according infrastructure already to not break compatibility later.

because with a future bridge snooping support integration a node with a
bridge on top of its soft interface is not able to reliably detect its
multicast listeners for IPv4 link-local and the IPv6
link-local-all-nodes addresses anymore (see RFC4541, section 2.1.2.2
and section 3).

Even though this new flag does make "no difference" now, it'll ensure
a seamless integration of multicast bridge support without needing to
break compatibility later.

Also note, that even with multicast bridge support it won't be possible
to optimize 224.0.0.x and ff02::1 towards nodes with bridges, they will
always receive these ranges.

Linus Lüssing 1d8ab8d3c1 batman-adv: Modified forwarding behaviour for multicast packets
With this patch a multicast packet is not always simply flooded anymore,
the behaviour for the following cases is changed to reduce
unnecessary overhead:

If all nodes within the horizon of a certain node have signalized
multicast listener announcement capability then an IPv6 multicast packet
with a destination of IPv6 link-local scope (excluding ff02::1) coming
from the upstream of this node...

* ...is dropped if there is no according multicast listener in the
  translation table,
* ...is forwarded via unicast if there is a single node with interested
  multicast listeners
* ...and otherwise still gets flooded.

Linus Lüssing 60432d756c batman-adv: Announce new capability via multicast TVLV
If the soft interface of a node is not part of a bridge then a node
announces a new multicast TVLV: The existence of this TVLV
signalizes that this node is announcing all of its multicast listeners
via the translation table infrastructure.

Linus Lüssing c5caf4ef34 batman-adv: Multicast Listener Announcements via Translation Table
With this patch a node which has no bridge interface on top of its soft
interface announces its local multicast listeners via the translation
table.
