batman-adv: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

2019-06-27T17:25:04+00:00

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this. Because we don't care if debugfs works or not, this trickles back a bit so we can clean things up by making some functions return void instead of an error value that is never going to fail.

batman-adv: Use includes instead of fwdecls

2019-05-25T10:59:53+00:00

While it can be slightly beneficial for the build performance to use forward declarations instead of includes, the handling of them together with changes in the included headers makes it unnecessary complicated and fragile. Just replace them with actual includes since some parts (hwmon, ..) of the kernel even request avoidance of forward declarations and net/ is mostly not using them in *.c file.

batman-adv: Mark debugfs functionality as deprecated

2018-09-14T08:50:26+00:00

CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUGFS is disabled by default because debugfs is not supported for batman-adv interfaces in any non-default netns. Any remaining users of this interface should still be informed about the deprecation and the generic netlink alternative. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Simon Wunderlich

batman-adv: Fix debugfs path for renamed softif

2018-06-23T08:29:33+00:00

batman-adv is creating special debugfs directories in the init net_namespace for each created soft-interface (batadv net_device). But it is possible to rename a net_device to a completely different name then the original one. It can therefore happen that a user registers a new batadv net_device with the name "bat0". batman-adv is then also adding a new directory under $debugfs/batman-adv/ with the name "wlan0". The user then decides to rename this device to "bat1" and registers a different batadv device with the name "bat0". batman-adv will then try to create a directory with the name "bat0" under $debugfs/batman-adv/ again. But there already exists one with this name under this path and thus this fails. batman-adv will detect a problem and rollback the registering of this device. batman-adv must therefore take care of renaming the debugfs directories for soft-interfaces whenever it detects such a net_device rename.

batman-adv: Fix debugfs path for renamed hardif

2018-06-23T08:29:33+00:00

batman-adv is creating special debugfs directories in the init net_namespace for each valid hard-interface (net_device). But it is possible to rename a net_device to a completely different name then the original one. It can therefore happen that a user registers a new net_device which gets the name "wlan0" assigned by default. batman-adv is also adding a new directory under $debugfs/batman-adv/ with the name "wlan0". The user then decides to rename this device to "wl_pri" and registers a different device. The kernel may now decide to use the name "wlan0" again for this new device. batman-adv will detect it as a valid net_device and tries to create a directory with the name "wlan0" under $debugfs/batman-adv/. But there already exists one with this name under this path and thus this fails. batman-adv will detect a problem and rollback the registering of this device. batman-adv must therefore take care of renaming the debugfs directories for hard-interfaces whenever it detects such a net_device rename.
