9713cb0cf1 batman-adv: Fix bat_v best gw refcnt after netlink dump
A reference for the best gateway is taken when the list of gateways in the
mesh is sent via netlink. This is necessary to check whether the currently
dumped entry is the currently selected gateway or not. This information is
then transferred as flag BATADV_ATTR_FLAG_BEST.

After the comparison of the current entry is done,
batadv_v_gw_dump_entry() has to decrease the reference counter again.
Otherwise the reference will be held and thus prevents a proper shutdown of
the batman-adv interfaces (and some of the interfaces enslaved in it).

All of the conflicts were cases of overlapping changes.

In net/core/devlink.c, we have to make care that the
resouce size_params have become a struct member rather
than a pointer to such an object.

011c935fce batman-adv: Ignore invalid batadv_v_gw during netlink send
The function batadv_v_gw_dump stops the processing loop when
batadv_v_gw_dump_entry returns a non-0 return code. This should only
happen when the buffer is full. Otherwise, an empty message may be
returned by batadv_gw_dump. This empty message will then stop the netlink
dumping of gateway entries. At worst, not a single entry is returned to
userspace even when plenty of possible gateways exist.

fec149f5d3 batman-adv: Convert packet.h to uapi header
The header file is used by different userspace programs to inject packets
or to decode sniffed packets. It should therefore be available to them as
userspace header.

Also other components in the kernel (like the flow dissector) require
access to the packet definitions to be able to decode ETH_P_BATMAN ethernet
packets.

The batadv_v_gw_is_eligible function already assumes that orig_node is not

must therefore be checked whether the batadv_gw_node_get failed and not
whether orig_node is NULL to detect this error.

6a4bc44b01 batman-adv: Avoid spurious warnings from bat_v neigh_cmp implementation
The neighbor compare API implementation for B.A.T.M.A.N. V checks whether
the neigh_ifinfo for this neighbor on a specific interface exists. A
warning is printed when it isn't found.

But it is not called inside a lock which would prevent that this
information is lost right before batadv_neigh_ifinfo_get. It must therefore
be expected that batadv_v_neigh_(cmp|is_sob) might not be able to get the
requested neigh_ifinfo.

A WARN_ON for such a situation seems not to be appropriate because this
will only flood the kernel logs. The warnings must therefore be removed.

1a9070ec91 batman-adv: Initialize gw sel_class via batadv_algo
The gateway selection class variable is shared between different algorithm
versions. But the interpretation of the content is algorithm specific. The
initialization is therefore also algorithm specific.

But this was implemented incorrectly and the initialization for BATMAN_V
always overwrote the value previously written for BATMAN_IV. This could
only be avoided when BATMAN_V was disabled during compile time.

Using a special batadv_algo hook for this initialization avoids this
problem.

086869438a batman-adv: make the GW selection class algorithm specific
The B.A.T.M.A.N. V algorithm uses a different metric compared to its
predecessor and for this reason the logic used to compute the best
Gateway is also changed. This means that the GW selection class
fed to this logic has a semantics that depends on the algorithm being
used.

Make the parsing and printing routine of the GW selection class
routing algorithm specific. Each algorithm can now parse (and print)
this value independently.

If no API is provided by any algorithm, the default is to use the
current mechanism of considering such value like an integer between
1 and 255.

925a6f3790 batman-adv: use static string for table headers
Use a static string when showing table headers rather then
a nonsense parametric one with fixed arguments.

It is easier to grep and it does not need to be recomputed
at runtime each time.

b6cf5d499f batman-adv: B.A.T.M.A.N V - make sure iface is reactivated upon NETDEV_UP event
At the moment there is no explicit reactivation of an hard-interface
upon NETDEV_UP event. In case of B.A.T.M.A.N. IV the interface is
reactivated as soon as the next OGM is scheduled for sending, but this
mechanism does not work with B.A.T.M.A.N. V. The latter does not rely
on the same scheduling mechanism as its predecessor and for this reason
the hard-interface remains deactivated forever after being brought down
once.

This patch fixes the reactivation mechanism by adding a new routing API
which explicitly allows each algorithm to perform any needed operation
upon interface re-activation.

Such API is optional and is implemented by B.A.T.M.A.N. V only and it
just takes care of setting the iface status to ACTIVE

c833484e5f batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughput
In case of wireless interface retrieve the throughput by
querying cfg80211. To perform this call a separate work
must be scheduled because the function may sleep and this
is not allowed within an RCU protected context (RCU in this
case is used to iterate over all the neighbours).

Use ethtool to retrieve information about an Ethernet link
like HALF/FULL_DUPLEX and advertised bandwidth (e.g.
100/10Mbps).

The metric is updated each time a new ELP packet is sent,
this way it is possible to timely react to a metric
variation which can imply (for example) a neighbour
disconnection.

0b5ecc6811 batman-adv: add throughput override attribute to hard_ifaces
This attribute is exported to user space to disable the link
throughput auto-detection by setting a fixed value.
The throughput override value is used when batman-adv is
computing the link throughput towards a neighbour.

If the value is set to 0 then batman-adv will try to detect
the throughput by itself.

0da0035942 batman-adv: OGMv2 - add basic infrastructure
This is the initial implementation of the new OGM protocol
(version 2). It has been designed to work on top of the
newly added ELP.

In the previous version the OGM protocol was used to both
measure link qualities and flood the network with the metric
information. In this version the protocol is in charge of
the latter task only, leaving the former to ELP.

This means being able to decouple the interval used by the
neighbor discovery from the OGM broadcasting, which revealed
to be costly in dense networks and needed to be relaxed so
leading to a less responsive routing protocol.

d6f94d91f7 batman-adv: ELP - adding basic infrastructure
The B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol originally only used a single
message type (called OGM) to determine the link qualities to
the direct neighbors and spreading these link quality
information through the whole mesh. This procedure is
summarized on the BATMAN concept page and explained in
details in the RFC draft published in 2008.

This approach was chosen for its simplicity during the
protocol design phase and the implementation. However, it
also bears some drawbacks:

 *  Wireless interfaces usually come with some packet loss,
    therefore a higher broadcast rate is desirable to allow
    a fast reaction on flaky connections.
    Other interfaces of the same host might be connected to
    Ethernet LANs / VPNs / etc which rarely exhibit packet
    loss would benefit from a lower broadcast rate to reduce
    overhead.
 *  It generally is more desirable to detect local link
    quality changes at a faster rate than propagating all
    these changes through the entire mesh (the far end of
    the mesh does not need to care about local link quality
    changes that much). Other optimizations strategies, like
    reducing overhead, might be possible if OGMs weren't
    used for all tasks in the mesh at the same time.

As a result detecting local link qualities shall be handled
by an independent message type, ELP, whereas the OGM message
type remains responsible for flooding the mesh with these
link quality information and determining the overall path
transmit qualities.
