Many functions have open coded a function that returns a random number in range [0,N-1]. Under the assumption that we have a PRNG such as taus113 with being well distributed in [0, ~0U] space, we can implement such a function as uword t = (n*m')>>32, where m' is a random number obtained from PRNG, n the right open interval border and t our resulting random number, with n,m',t in u32 universe. Lets go with Joe and simply call it prandom_u32_max(), although technically we have an right open interval endpoint, but that we have documented. Other users can further be migrated to the new prandom_u32_max() function later on; for now, we need to make sure to migrate reciprocal_divide() users for the reciprocal_divide() follow-up fixup since their function signatures are going to change. Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

team_get_port_by_index_rcu() might return NULL due to race between port removal and skb tx path. Panic is easily triggeable when txing packets and adding/removing port in a loop. introduced by commit 3d249d4c "net: introduce ethernet teaming device" and commit 753f9939 "team: introduce random mode" (for random mode) Signed-off-by: NJiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

As suggested by Eric Dumazet, allow user to select mode which chooses TX port randomly. Functionality should be more of less similar to round-robin mode with even lower overhead. Signed-off-by: NJiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
