Series [v5] batman-adv: Add multicast-to-unicast support for multiple targets |

Commit Message

Linus Lüssing March 23, 2019, 4:47 a.m. UTC
  With this patch multicast packets with a limited number of destinations
(current default: 16) will be split and transmitted by the originator as
individual unicast transmissions.

Wifi broadcasts with their low bitrate are still a costly undertaking.
In a mesh network this cost multiplies with the overall size of the mesh
network. Therefore using multiple unicast transmissions instead of
broadcast flooding is almost always less burdensome for the mesh
network.

The maximum amount of unicast packets can be configured via the newly
introduced multicast_fanout parameter. If this limit is exceeded
distribution will fall back to classic broadcast flooding.

The multicast-to-unicast conversion is performed on the initial
multicast sender node and counts on a final destination node, mesh-wide
basis (and not next hop, neighbor node basis).

Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@c0d3.blue>

Changelog v5:

* removed intermediate limit checks as they are addressing a minor,
  unlikely matter
* removed unnecessary send.h include in translation-table.c
* changed variable order in batadv_mcast_forw_mode()
  (rev. christmas tree)
* renamed:
    batadv_mcast_forw_tt_send() -> batadv_mcast_forw_tt()
    batadv_mcast_forw_want_all_send() -> batadv_mcast_forw_want_all()
    batadv_mcast_forw_want_all_ipv4_send() -> batadv_mcast_forw_want_all_ipv4()
    batadv_mcast_forw_want_all_ipv6_send() -> batadv_mcast_forw_want_all_ipv6()
  to make it less confusing that they do not consume a given skb

Changelog v4:

* Fixed return value in "batadv_mcast_forw_tt_send()" for an empty
  TT entry: the want-all lists still need to be tried. This fixes
  potential packetloss.

Changelog v3:

* removed sysfs support for multicast_fanout

Changelog v2:

* rebased to master (no conflicts/changes)
* fixed a double free bug in the batman-adv multicast-to-multi-unicast
  patch: led to crashes, especially on netifd restart/shutdown
  -> https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/1468
* fixed skb memory leaks in error cases
* added netlink support for multicast_fanout
* updated multicast_fanout sysfs ABI doc date to Feb 2019
