      proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner · 99b76233
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
      as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
      ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
      in module refcount underflow.
      
      We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
      and ->data.
      
      But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
      and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
      switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
      some thoughts.
      
      ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
      protection.
      
      rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
      And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
      We definitely don't want such modular code.
      
      Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
      
      So, let's nuke it.
      
      Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

      bonding: select current active slave when enslaving device for mode tlb and alb · 5a29f789
      Jiri Pirko 提交于
      I've hit an issue on my system when I've been using RealTek RTL8139D cards in
      bonding interface in mode balancing-alb. When I enslave a card, the current
      active slave (bond->curr_active_slave) is not set and the link is therefore
      not functional.
      
      ----

      The thing that gets it right is when I unplug the cable and then I put it back
      into the NIC. Then the current active slave is set to eth1 and link is working
      just fine. Here is dmesg log with bonding DEBUG messages turned on:

      The current active slave is set by calling bond_select_active_slave() function
      from bond_miimon_commit() function when the slave (eth1) link goes to state up.
      
      I also tested this on other machine with Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708
      1000Base-T NIC and there all works fine. The thing is that this adapter is down
      and goes up after few seconds after it is enslaved.
      
      This patch calls bond_select_active_slave() in bond_enslave() function for modes
      alb and tlb and makes sure that the current active slave is set up properly even
      when the slave state is already up. Tested on both systems, works fine.
      
      Notice: The same problem can maybe also occrur in mode 8023AD but I'm unable to
      test that.

      netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-1 · 454d7c9b
      Wang Chen 提交于
      We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
      1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
      2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
         netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
      But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
      directly.
      
      This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
      Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
      But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
      I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
      which is max size allowed by vger.

      bonding: alternate agg selection policies for 802.3ad · fd989c83
      Jay Vosburgh 提交于
      	This patch implements alternative aggregator selection policies
      for 802.3ad.  The existing policy, now termed "stable," selects the active
      aggregator by greatest bandwidth, and only reselects a new aggregator
      if the active aggregator is entirely disabled (no more ports or all ports
      down).
      
      	This patch adds two new policies: bandwidth and count, selecting
      the active aggregator by total bandwidth (like the stable policy) or by
      the number of ports in the aggregator, respectively.  These two policies
      also differ from the stable policy in that they will reselect the active
      aggregator when availability-related changes occur in the bond (e.g.,
      link state change).
      
      	This permits "gang failover" within 802.3ad, allowing redundant
      aggregators along parallel paths to always maintain the "best" aggregator
      as the active aggregator (rather than having to wait for the active to
      entirely fail).
      
      	This patch also updates the driver version to 3.5.0.

      bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failover · 305d552a
      Brian Haley 提交于
      This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices,
      especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses
      configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko.
      
      - Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the
         IPv6-specific routines.  Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds
         are supported.
      
      - Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited
         IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event.
         Default is 1.
      
      - Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions:
      
         ndisc_build_skb()
         ndisc_send_skb()
      
         These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to
         add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends
         shouldn't be asked to do this.  These two routines are basically
         __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order.
      
      - Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond
         support to 3.4.0.
      
      On failover, this new code will generate one packet:
      
      - An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch
         learn that the address has moved to the new slave.
      
      Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good
      behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

      net: Fix disjunct computation of netdev features · b63365a2
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      My change
      
          commit e2a6b852
          net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device
      
      didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
      function was designed for conjunctions.  So what happened was that
      it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.
      
      This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
      under the new name of netdev_increment_features.
      
      It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
      sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration.  This ensures
      that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
      since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
      ethtool.
      
      The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted.

      the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case,
      removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code.
      
      	This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases:
      an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase.  The commit phase
      is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is
      only called when inspection finds something to change.

      netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX. · e8a0464c
      David S. Miller 提交于
      alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
      structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.
      
      Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
      through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
      interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
      things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.
      
      Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
      only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
      for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.
