      gluon-client-bridge: Revert "move IPv4 local subnet route to br-client (#1312)" · 3ef28a46
      Sven Eckelmann authored
      The commit b3762fc6 ("gluon-client-bridge: move IPv4 local subnet route
      to br-client (#1312)") moves the IPv4 prefix from the local-port interface
      to br-client. A client requesting an IPv4 connection to the IPv4 anycast
      address of the node (the device running gluon) will create following
      packets:
      
      1. ARP packet from client to get the MAC of the mac address of the anycast
         IPv4 address
      2. ARP reply from node to client with the anycast MAC address for the IPv4
         anycast address
      3. IPv4 packet from client which requires reply (for example ICMP echo
         request)
      4. ARP request for the client MAC address for its IPv4 address in prefix4
         (done with the mac address of br-client and transmitted over br-client)
      5. IPv4 packet from node (transmitted over br-client with br-client MAC
         address) as reply for the client IPv4 packet (for example ICMP echo
         reply)
      
      The step 4 and 5 are problematic here because packets use the node specific
      MAC addresses from br-client instead of the anycast MAC address. The client
      will receive the ARP packet with the node specific MAC address and change
      their own neighbor IP (translation) table. This will for example break the
      access to the status page to the connected device or the anycast DNS
      forwarder implementation when the client roams to a different node.
      
      This reverts commit b3762fc6 and adds an
      upgrade code to remove local_node_route on on existing installations.

      gluon-mesh-batman-adv: Drop IPv4 anycast related packets from/to bat0 · fc59d520
      Sven Eckelmann authored
      The commit b3762fc6 ("gluon-client-bridge: move IPv4 local subnet route
      to br-client (#1312)") moves the IPv4 prefix from the local-port interface
      to br-client. A client requesting an IPv4 connection to the IPv4 anycast
      address of the node (the device running gluon) will create following
      packets:
      
      1. ARP packet from client to get the MAC of the mac address of the anycast
         IPv4 address
      2. ARP reply from node to client with the anycast MAC address for the IPv4
         anycast address
      3. IPv4 packet from client which requires reply (for example ICMP echo
         request)
      4. ARP request for the client MAC address for its IPv4 address in prefix4
         (done with the mac address of br-client and transmitted over br-client)
      5. IPv4 packet from node (transmitted over br-client with br-client MAC
         address) as reply for the client IPv4 packet (for example ICMP echo
         reply)
      
      The step 4 is extremely problematic here. ARP replies with the anycast IPv4
      address must not be submitted or received via bat0 - expecially not when it
      contains an node specific MAC address as source. When it is still done then
      the wrong MAC address is stored in the batadv DAT cache and ARP packet is
      maybe even forwarded to clients. This latter is especially true for ARP
      requests which are broadcast and will be flooded to the complete mesh.
      
      Clients will see these ARP packets and change their own neighbor IP
      (translation) table. They will then try to submit the packets for IPv4
      anycast addresses to the complete wrong device in the mesh. This will for
      example break the access to the status page to the connected device or the
      anycast DNS forwarder implementation. Especially the latter causes extreme
      latency when clients try to connect to server using a domain name or even
      breaks the connection setup process completely. Both are caused by the
      unanswered DNS requests which at first glance look like packet loss.
      
      An node must therefore take care of:
      
      * not transmitting ARP packets related to the anycast IPv4 address over
        bat0
      * drop ARP packets related to the anycast IPv4 when they are received on
        bat0 from a still broken node
      * don't accept ARP packets related to the anycast IPv4 replies on local
        node when it comes from bat0
      
      Fixes: b3762fc6 ("gluon-client-bridge: move IPv4 local subnet route to br-client (#1312)")

      gluon-mesh-batman-adv: increase bridge multicast querier robustness to 9 · c80c294b
      Matthias Schiffer authored
      The RFC standard multicast querier interval is 120s. Our querier uses in
      interval of 20s for better support of roaming clients, but our robustness
      setting of 3 leads to external queriers using the standard interval to be
      timeout after only 60s, leading to frequent "querier appeared/disappeared"
      messages. Increase robustness so that external queriers with any interval
      <180s are supported.

      treewide: rework check_site_lib.lua · 7ccdacd2
      Matthias Schiffer authored
      In addition to significant internal differences in check_site_lib.lua (in
      particular unifying error handling to a single place for the upcoming
      multi-domain support), this changes the way fields are addressed in site
      check scripts: rather than providing a string like 'next_node.ip6', the
      path is passed as an array {'next_node', 'ip6'}.
      
      Other changes in site check scripts:
      * need_array and need_table now pass the full path to the sub fields to the
      subcheck instead of the key and value
      * Any check referring to a field inside a table implies that all higher
      levels must be tables if they exist: a check for {'next_node', 'ip6'} adds
      an implicit (optional) check for {'next_node'}, which allows to remove many
      explicit checks for such tables

      gluon-mesh-batman-adv: refactor interface management · e45c3033
      Matthias Schiffer authored
      We now create bat0 and primary0 independently of the lower mesh interfaces,
      making the whole setup a lot more robust. In particular:
      
      - we can't accidentially destroy primary0 because of concurrent setup and
        teardown runs of different interfaces
      - bat0 will always exist, even when no mesh interfaces are up (e.g. no link
        on wired mesh)
      - interfaces going down and up again will never tear down the whole of
        batman-adv
      - we can enable and disable bat0 independently of the lower interface
        states

      For simplicity, we don't use different MTUs for compat 14 and 15 anymore,
      there's no harm in using 1532 for batman-adv-legacy as well.

      gluon-mesh-batman-adv: announce MAC of mesh ifaces · ae4c130c
      Nils Schneider authored
      This will make a node announce all MACs of its interfaces participating
      in the batman-adv mesh. This enables other nodes to associate the
      announced object with both the data reported by batadv-vis as well as a
      simple list of neighbours as output by `iw dev $IFACE station dump`.
