TVLV handlers can have the flag BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CIFNOTFND set to
signal that the OGM handler should be called (with NULL for data) when the
specific TVLV container was not found in the OGM. This is used by:
* DAT
* GW
* Multicast (OGM + Tracker)
The state whether the handler was executed was stored in the struct
batadv_tvlv_handler. But the TVLV processing is started without any lock.
Multiple parallel contexts processing TVLVs would therefore overwrite each
others BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CALLED flag in the shared
batadv_tvlv_handler.
Drop the shared BATADV_TVLV_HANDLER_OGM_CALLED flag and instead determine,
per TVLV buffer, whether a matching container was present by scanning the
packet's buffer.

therefore not calculate the correct TT table and desync. A full translation

comparisons of sequence numbers by the receiver would be wrong. It is then
necessary to check if the start sequence number to the end sequence number

When the unacked_list is unbound, an attacker could send messages with

When limiting the list to a specific number, it is important to still

the limit, the last entry of the list (with the highest seqno) must be
dropped to still allow the earlier seqnos to finish and therefore to

The broadcast and multicast packets can be received at the same time by the
local system and forwarded to other nodes. Both are simply decrementing the
TTL at the beginning of the receive path - independent of chosen paths
(receive/forward). But such a modification of the data conflicts with the
hw csum. This is not a problem when the packet is directly forwarded but
can cause errors in the local receive path.
Such a problem can then trigger a "hw csum failure". The receiver path must
therefore ensure that the csum is fixed for each modification of the
payload before batadv_interface_rx() is reached.
Since all batman-adv packet types with a ttl have it as u8 at offset 2, a
helper can be used for all of them. But it is only used at the moment for
batadv_bcast_packet and batadv_mcast_packet because they are the only ones
which deliver the packet locally but unconditionally modify the TTL.

The monolithic batadv_tp_vars struct holds fields for both sender and
receiver roles, distinguished only by a runtime enum role. This makes it
easy to accidentally access a field intended for the opposite role, since
neither the compiler nor the type system provide any guard against such
mistakes. The role check also adds unnecessary branching in several code
paths.
Introduce batadv_tp_vars_common to hold fields shared across both roles,
then derive two separate types (sender/receiver) from it. The functions can
operate on them without any ambiguity about the available fields. This also
reduces the memory footprint of receiver sessions, which no longer carry
the substantial sender-only fields.
Care must be taken to prevent concurrent TP sessions between the same two
peers in opposite directions, since sender and receiver sessions are now

The cwnd is always MSS <= cwnd <= 0x20000000. But the calculation in

((mss * 8) ** 2) / (cwnd * 8)
In case cwnd is actually 0x20000000, it will be shifted by 3 bit to the
left end up at 0x100000000 or U32_MAX + 1. It will therefore wrap around
and be 0 - resulting in:
((mss * 8) ** 2) / 0
This is of course invalid and cannot be calculated. The calculation should
must be simplified to avoid this overflow:
(mss ** 2) * 8 / cwnd
It will keep the precision enhancement from the scaling (by 8) but avoid
the overflow in the divisor.
In theory, there could still be an overflow in the dividend. It is at the
moment fixed to BATADV_TP_PLEN in batadv_tp_recv_ack() - so it is not an
imminent problem. But allowing it to use the whole u32 bit range, would
mean that it can still use up to 67 bits. To keep this calculation safe for

* B.A.T.M.A.N. V ELP probing / throughput estimation
