batadv_mcast_purge_orig() removes entries from RCU-protected hlists but
does not wait for an RCU grace period before returning. Concurrent RCU
readers may still accesses references to those entries at the point of
removal. RCU-protected readers trying to operate on entries like
orig->mcast_want_all_ipv6_node will then access already freed memory.
Fix this by moving batadv_mcast_purge_orig() to batadv_orig_node_release(),
just before the call_rcu() invocation. This ensures RCU readers that were
active at purge time have drained before the orig_node memory is reclaimed.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Trying to dump the originators or the neighbors via netlink for a meshif
with an inactive primary interface is not allowed. The dump functions were
checking this correctly but they didn't handle non-existing primary
interfaces and existing _inactive_ interfaces differently.
(Primary) batadv_hard_ifaces hold a references to a net_device. And
accessing them is only allowed when either being in a RCU/spinlock
protected section or when holding a valid reference to them. The netlink
dump functions use the latter.
But because the missing specific error handling for inactive primary
interfaces, the reference was never dropped. This reference counting error
was only detected when the interface should have been removed from the
system:

The Network Coding feature, introduced in 2013, is based on the master
thesis "Inter-Flow Network Coding for Wireless Mesh Networks". It relies on
the assumption that neighboring mesh nodes can reliably overhear each
other's transmissions in promiscuous mode, allowing packets to be combined
to reduce forwarding overhead.
This assumption no longer holds for modern wireless mesh networks, which
are heterogeneous and make overhearing increasingly unreliable. Factors
such as multiple spatial streams, varying data rates, beamforming, and
OFDMA all prevent nodes from consistently overhearing each other. The current
implementation in batman-adv is not able to detect these conditions and would
require a more complex layer beyond its neighbor discovery process to do so.
In addition, the feature has been unmaintained for years and is discouraged
for use. None of the current maintainers have the required test
setup to verify its functionality, and known issues remain in its data
structures (reference counting, RCU usage, and cleanup handling). Its
continued presence also blocks necessary refactoring of the core originator
infrastructure.
Remove this obsolete and unmaintained feature.

By passing the hard_iface to netdev_master_upper_dev_link() as private
data, we can iterate over hardifs of a mesh interface more efficiently
using netdev_for_each_lower_private*() (instead of iterating over the
global hardif list). In addition, this will enable resolving a hardif
from its netdev using netdev_lower_dev_get_private() and getting rid of
the global list altogether in the following patches.

The way how the virtual interface is called inside the batman-adv source
code is not consistent. The genl headers call it meshif and the rest of the
code calls is (mostly) softif.
The genl definitions cannot be touched because they are part of the UAPI.
But the rest of the batman-adv code can be touched to have a consistent
name again.
The bulk of the renaming was done using
sed -i -e 's/soft\(-\|\_\| \|\)i\([nf]\)/mesh\1i\2/g' \
-e 's/SOFT\(-\|\_\| \|\)I\([NF]\)/MESH\1I\2/g'

The internal handling of VLAN IDs in batman-adv is only specified for
following encodings:
* VLAN is used
- bit 15 is 1
- bit 11 - bit 0 is the VLAN ID (0-4095)
- remaining bits are 0
* No VLAN is used
- bit 15 is 0
- remaining bits are 0
batman-adv was only preparing new translation table entries (based on its
soft interface information) using this encoding format. But the receive
path was never checking if entries in the roam or TT TVLVs were also
following this encoding.
It was therefore possible to create more than the expected maximum of 4096
+ 1 entries in the originator VLAN list. Simply by setting the "remaining
bits" to "random" values in corresponding TVLV.

Implement functionality to receive and forward a new TVLV capable
multicast packet type.
The new batman-adv multicast packet type allows to contain several
originator destination addresses within a TVLV. Routers on the way will
potentially split the batman-adv multicast packet and adjust its tracker
TVLV contents.
Routing decisions are still based on the selected BATMAN IV or BATMAN V
routing algorithm. So this new batman-adv multicast packet type retains
the same loop-free properties.
Also a new OGM multicast TVLV flag is introduced to signal to other
nodes that we are capable of handling a batman-adv multicast packet and
multicast tracker TVLV. And that all of our hard interfaces have an MTU
of at least 1280 bytes (IPv6 minimum MTU), as a simple solution for now
to avoid MTU issues while forwarding.

The batman-adv source code was using the year of publication (to net-next)
as "last" year for the copyright statement. The whole source code mentioned
in the MAINTAINERS "BATMAN ADVANCED" section was handled as a single entity

This avoided having outdated (in sense of year information - not copyright
holder) publishing information inside several files. But since the simple
"update copyright year" commit (without other changes) in the file was not
well received in the upstream kernel, the option to not have a copyright

To be able to apply our group aware multicast optimizations to packets
with a scope greater than link-local we need to not only keep track of
multicast listeners but also multicast routers.
With this patch a node detects the presence of multicast routers on
its segment by checking if
/proc/sys/net/ipv{4,6}/conf/<bat0|br0(bat)>/mc_forwarding is set for one
thing. This option is enabled by multicast routing daemons and needed
for the kernel's multicast routing tables to receive and route packets.
For another thing if a bridge is configured on top of bat0 then the
presence of an IPv6 multicast router behind this bridge is currently
detected by checking for an IPv6 multicast "All Routers Address"
(ff02::2). This should later be replaced by querying the bridge, which
performs proper, RFC4286 compliant Multicast Router Discovery (our
simplified approach includes more hosts than necessary, most notably
not just multicast routers but also unicast ones and is not applicable
for IPv4).
If no multicast router is detected then this is signalized via the new
BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR4 and BATADV_MCAST_WANT_NO_RTR6
multicast tvlv flags.

B.A.T.M.A.N. IV requires the number of rebroadcast from a neighboring
originator. These statistics are gathered per interface which transmitted
the OGM (and then received it again). Since an originator is not interface
specific, a resizable array was used in each originator.
This resizable array had an entry for each interface and had to be resizes
(for all OGMs) when the number of active interface was modified. This could
cause problems when a large number of interface is added and not enough
continuous memory is available to allocate the array.
There is already a per interface originator structure "batadv_orig_ifinfo"
which can be used to store this information.

batman-adv uses internal indices for each enabled and active interface.
It is currently used by the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV algorithm to identifify the
correct position in the ogm_cnt bitmaps.
The type for the number of enabled interfaces (which defines the next
interface index) was set to char. This type can be (depending on the
architecture) either signed (limiting batman-adv to 127 active slave
interfaces) or unsigned (limiting batman-adv to 255 active slave
interfaces).
This limit was not correctly checked when an interface was enabled and thus
an overflow happened. This was only catched on systems with the signed char
type when the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV code tried to resize its counter arrays with
a negative size.
The if_num interface index was only a s16 and therefore significantly
smaller than the ifindex (int) used by the code net code.
Both &batadv_hard_iface->if_num and &batadv_priv->num_ifaces must be
(unsigned) int to support the same number of slave interfaces as the net
core code. And the interface activation code must check the number of
active slave interfaces to avoid integer overflows.

With this patch, (re)broadcasting on a specific interfaces is avoided:
* No neighbor: There is no need to broadcast on an interface if there
is no node behind it.
* Single neighbor is source: If there is just one neighbor on an
interface and if this neighbor is the one we actually got this
broadcast packet from, then we do not need to echo it back.
* Single neighbor is originator: If there is just one neighbor on
an interface and if this neighbor is the originator of this
broadcast packet, then we do not need to echo it back.
Goodies for BATMAN V:
("Upgrade your BATMAN IV network to V now to get these for free!")
Thanks to the split of OGMv1 into two packet types, OGMv2 and ELP
that is, we can now apply the same optimizations stated above to OGMv2
packets, too.
Furthermore, with BATMAN V, rebroadcasts can be reduced in certain
multi interface cases, too, where BATMAN IV cannot. This is thanks to
the removal of the "secondary interface originator" concept in BATMAN V.

It is hard to understand why the refcnt is increased when it isn't done
near the actual place the new reference is used. So using kref_get right
before the place which requires the reference and in the same function
helps to avoid accidental problems caused by incorrect reference counting.

Add BATADV_CMD_GET_ORIGINATORS and BATADV_CMD_GET_NEIGHBORS commands,
using handlers bat_orig_dump and bat_neigh_dump in batadv_algo_ops. Will
always return -EOPNOTSUPP for now, as no implementations exist yet.

The orig_ifinfo reference counter for last_bonding_candidate in
batadv_orig_node has to be reduced when an originator node is released.
Otherwise the orig_ifinfo is leaked and the reference counter the netdevice
is not reduced correctly.

batadv_orig_node_new uses batadv_orig_node_vlan_new to allocate a new
batadv_orig_node_vlan and add it to batadv_orig_node::vlan_list. References
to this list have also to be cleaned when the batadv_orig_node is removed.
