Sven Eckelmann says: ==================== flow_dissector: Provide basic batman-adv unicast handling we are currently starting to use batman-adv as mesh protocol on multicore embedded devices. These usually don't have a lot of CPU power per core but are reasonable fast when using multiple cores. It was noticed that sending was working very well but receiving was basically only using on CPU core per neighbor. The reason for that is format of the (normal) incoming packet: +--------------------+ | ip(v6)hdr | +--------------------+ | inner ethhdr | +--------------------+ | batadv unicast hdr | +--------------------+ | outer ethhdr | +--------------------+ The flow dissector will therefore stop after parsing the outer ethernet header and will not parse the actual ipv(4|6)/... header of the packet. Our assumption was now that it would help us to add minimal support to the flow dissector to jump over the batman-adv unicast and inner ethernet header (like in gre ETH_P_TEB). The patch was implemented in a slightly hacky way [1] and the results looked quite promising. I didn't get any feedback how the files should actually be named. So I am now just using the names from RFC v3 The discussion of the RFC v3 can be found in the related patches of https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/849345/ The discussion of the RFC v2 can be found in the related patches of https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/844783/ Changes in v4: ============== * added patch to change the u8/u16 to __u8/__u16 in include/uapi/linux/batadv_packet.h - requested by Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> Changes in v3: ============== * removed change of uapi/linux/batman_adv.h to uapi/linux/batadv_genl.h - requested by Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> * removed naming fixes for enums/defines in uapi/linux/batadv_genl.h - requested by Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> * renamed uapi/linux/batadv.h to uapi/linux/batadv_packet.h * moved batadv dissector functionality in own function - requested by Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com> * added support for flags FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_ENCAP and FLOW_DIS_ENCAPSULATION - requested by Willem de Bruijn <willemdebruijn.kernel@gmail.com> Changes in v2: ============== * removed the batman-adv unicast packet header definition from flow_dissector.c * moved the batman-adv packet.h/uapi headers around to provide the correct definitions to flow_dissector.c ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
