In case of a client X roaming from a generic node A to another node B, it is
possible that a third node C gets A's OGM but not B's. At this point in time, if
C wants to send data to X it will send a unicast packet destined to A. The
packet header will contain A's last ttvn (C got A's OGM and so it knows it).
The packet will travel towards A without being intercepted because the ttvn
contained in its header is the newest for A.
Once A will receive the packet, A's state will not report to be in a "roaming
phase" (because, after a roaming, once A sends out its OGM, all the changes are
committed and the node is considered not to be in the roaming state anymore)
and it will match the ttvn carried by the packet. Therefore there is no reason
for A to try to alter the packet's route, thus dropping the packet because the
destination client is not there anymore.
However, C is well aware that it's routing information towards the client X is
outdated as it received an OGM from A saying that the client roamed away.
Thanks to this detail, this patch introduces a small change in behaviour: as
long as C is in the state of not knowing the new location of client X it will
forward the traffic to its last known location using ttvn-1 of the destination.
By using an older ttvn node A will be forced to re-route the packet.
Intermediate nodes are also allowed to update the packet's destination as long
as they have the information about the client's new location.

fq_codel: Fair Queue Codel AQM
Fair Queue Codel packet scheduler
Principles :
- Packets are classified (internal classifier or external) on flows.
- This is a Stochastic model (as we use a hash, several flows might
be hashed on same slot)
- Each flow has a CoDel managed queue.
- Flows are linked onto two (Round Robin) lists,
so that new flows have priority on old ones.
- For a given flow, packets are not reordered (CoDel uses a FIFO)
- head drops only.
- ECN capability is on by default.
- Very low memory footprint (64 bytes per flow)

batman-adv: avoid temporary routing loops by being strict on forwarded OGMs
batman-adv would forward OGMs from non-besthops while replacing the the TQ
and TTL values with the values from the best hop. In certain corner cases
this leads to a temporary routing loop.
This patch changes this behavior: Only packets from best next hops are
forwarded - TQ and TTL values won't be replaced anymore. However, the protocol
needs to rebroadcast OGMs from single hop neighbors regardless of whether or
not they are the best hop. To handle this case a new flag is introduced to
alert neighboring nodes about the forwarded OGM that is not from my best
next hop. It is to be discarded by all nodes except for the one originating
the OGM.

According to the RFC4944 (Transmission of IPv6 Packets over
IEEE 802.15.4 Networks), chapter 7:
The IPv6 link-local address [RFC4291] for an IEEE 802.15.4 interface
is formed by appending the Interface Identifier, as defined above, to
the prefix FE80::/64.
This AQM main input is no longer queue size in bytes or packets, but the
delay packets stay in (FIFO) queue.
As we don't have infinite memory, we still can drop packets in enqueue()
in case of massive load, but mean of CoDel is to drop packets in
dequeue(), using a control law based on two simple parameters :
target : target sojourn time (default 5ms)
interval : width of moving time window (default 100ms)
Based on initial work from Dave Taht.
Refactored to help future codel inclusion as a plugin for other linux
qdisc (FQ_CODEL, ...), like RED.
include/net/codel.h contains codel algorithm as close as possible than
Kathleen reference.
net/sched/sch_codel.c contains the linux qdisc specific glue.
Separate structures permit a memory efficient implementation of fq_codel
(to be sent as a separate work) : Each flow has its own struct
codel_vars.
timestamps are taken at enqueue() time with 1024 ns precision, allowing
a range of 2199 seconds in queue, and 100Gb links support. iproute2 uses
usec as base unit.
Selected packets are dropped, unless ECN is enabled and packets can get
ECN mark instead.
Tested from 2Mb to 10Gb speeds with no particular problems, on ixgbe and
tg3 drivers (BQL enabled).
Usage: tc qdisc ... codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ target TIME ]
[ interval TIME ] [ ecn ]
CoDel must be seen as a base module, and should be used keeping in mind
there is still a FIFO queue. So a typical setup will probably need a
hierarchy of several qdiscs and packet classifiers to be able to meet
whatever constraints a user might have.
One possible example would be to use fq_codel, which combines Fair
Queueing and CoDel, in replacement of sfq / sfq_red.

l2tp: fix reorder timeout recovery
When L2TP data packet reordering is enabled, packets are held in a
queue while waiting for out-of-sequence packets. If a packet gets
lost, packets will be held until the reorder timeout expires, when we
are supposed to then advance to the sequence number of the next packet
but we don't currently do so. As a result, the data channel is stuck
because we are waiting for a packet that will never arrive - all
packets age out and none are passed.
The fix is to add a flag to the session context, which is set when the
reorder timeout expires and tells the receive code to reset the next
expected sequence number to that of the next packet in the queue.

This patch enables hardware timestamping for use with PTP software by
extracting a ns counter from an arbitrary fixed point cycles counter.
The hardware generates SYSTIME registers using the DMA tick which
changes based on the current link speed. These SYSTIME registers are
converted to ns using the cyclecounter and timecounter structures
provided by the kernel. Using the SO_TIMESTAMPING api, software can
enable and access timestamps for PTP packets.
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API has space for 3 different kinds of timestamps,
SYS, RAW, and SOF. SYS hardware timestamps are hardware ns values that
are then scaled to the software clock. RAW hardware timestamps are the
direct raw value of the ns counter. SOF software timestamps are the
software timestamp calculated as close as possible to the software
transmit, but are not offloaded to the hardware. This patch only
supports the RAW hardware timestamps due to inefficiency of the SYS
design.
This patch also enables the PHC subsystem features for atomically
adjusting the cycle register, and adjusting the clock frequency in
parts per billion. This frequency adjustment works by slightly
adjusting the value added to the cycle registers each DMA tick. This
causes the hardware registers to overflow rapidly (approximately once
every 34 seconds, when at 10gig link). To solve this, the timecounter
structure is used, along with a timer set for every 25 seconds. This
allows for detecting register overflow and converting the cycle
counter registers into ns values needed for providing useful
timestamps to the network stack.
Only the basic required clock functions are supported at this time,
although the hardware supports some ancillary features and these could
easily be enabled in the future.
Note that use of this hardware timestamping requires modifying daemon
software to use the SO_TIMESTAMPING API for timestamps, and the
ptp_clock PHC framework for accessing the clock. The timestamps have
no relation to the system time at all, so software must use the posix
clock generated by the PHC framework instead.
