Commit Message

Linus Lüssing Dec. 30, 2018, 3:52 p.m. UTC
  In a 1000 nodes mesh network (Freifunk Hamburg) we can still see
30KBit/s of ARP traffic (equalling about 25% of all layer two
specific overhead, remaining after some filtering) flooded through
the mesh. These 30KBit/s are mainly ARP Requests from the
gateways / DHCP servers.

By snooping DHCPACKs we can learn about MAC/IP address pairs
in the DHCP range without relying on ARP. This patch is in preparation
to eliminate the need for mesh wide message flooding for IPv4 address
resolution.

Also this allows to quickly update a MAC/IP pair at least in the DHT when
DHCP reassigns an IP address to a new host.

Changes in v8:
* fixed a potential stackoverflow with BATADV_DHCP_YIADDR_LEN:
  -> wrongly had the size of chaddr instead of yiaddr
* added missing include for asm/unaligned.h
* removed unncessary include for net/ip.h:
  -> got unncessary with v7 due to ip_hdrlen() removal
* fixed build error with disabled DAT:
  -> missing stub for batadv_dat_snoop_incoming_dhcp_ack()
* grouped DHCP packet op, htype and hlen field fetch into a single
  skb_header_pointer() call
* added missing "*" in batadv_dat_put_dhcp() kerneldoc

Changes in v7:
* fixed a memory access bug in batadv_dat_snoop_outgoing_dhcp_ack():
  ip_hdr(skb)->saddr is unsafe because we never ensured linear skb data;
  -> refactored functions to take an ip_src paramter instead
* fixed a memory access bug in batadv_dat_check_dhcp_ipudp():
  ip_hdrlen(skb) is unsafe on potentially non-linear skb data
* fixed a memory access bug in batadv_dat_get_dhcp_chaddr():
  the len parameter provided to skb_header_pointer() is 16 bytes long
  but we only reserved 6 bytes (ETH_ALEN) in
  batadv_dat_snoop_outgoing_dhcp_ack()
  -> increased the buffer length to the full DHCP chaddr size
* renamed batadv_dat_put_pairs() to batadv_dat_put_dhcp(), renamed
  its parameters and moved the batadv_dbg() functions into it,
  to make the naming and the function's purpose a bit more specific
  and meaningful
* added parsing of DHCPACKs on the mesh-ingress side, too, and if
  successful adding retrieved values to the local DAT cache;
  similar to what is done for incoming ARP replies, too
* removed unnecessary and unused hdr_size calculation in
  former batadv_dat_put_pairs()
* batadv_dat_dhcp_get_yiaddr() and batadv_dat_get_dhcp_chaddr()
  now always return a copy of the yiaddr chaddr so that callers
  have one less pointer to play with and do not need to worry about
  memory alignment anymore themselves
* rebased to master
* sorted variables to reverse Christmas tree

Changes in v6:
* moved dhcp packet definition from batadv_packet.h to
  distributed-arp-table.c

Changes in v5:
* fixed unaligned access issues (that is, enforce a two step
  load via "get_unaligned") for DHCP magic and yiaddr fields
* simplified batadv_dat_put_pairs():
  there is no need to check that arp_create() set the ARP
  type correctly. It always does or returns NULL otherwise.
  (this also fixes another unaligned access)

Changes in v4:
* Removed @proto from kerneldoc
* Less enum values in batadv_packet.h
* Moved skb_set_network_header() call
* Updated commit message

Changes in v3:
* Rebase to master
* Shortened commit message

Changes in v2:
* Rebase to master
* Fix compilation with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV=n (added stubs)

Changes in RFC -> non-RFC

 * Added kerneldoc
 * Added Signed-off-by
 * More IP Header checks
   (iph->hlen considered, ip version checked, ...)
 * Parsing & checking DHCP Message Type Option,
   only snooping DHCPACKs now
 * Moved ethernet protocol check from batadv_dat_check_dhcp to
   batadv_dat_check_dhcp_ipudp
 * Removed buffer-length parameter from
   batadv_dat_dhcp_get_{yiaddr,chaddr}()
 * Renamed batadv_dat_put() to batadv_dat_put_pairs()

fixup DAT DHCP snooping
