      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.

      bonding: refactor mii monitor · f0c76d61
      Jay Vosburgh 提交于
      	Refactor mii monitor.  As with the previous ARP monitor refactor,
      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.

      bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zero · b8a9787e
      Jay Vosburgh 提交于
      	Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to
      zero.  This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can
      be created via sysfs).
      
      	Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the
      netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created,
      but this is no longer possible.  Instead, an interface from net/core is
      created to create and destroy files in net_class.

      bonding: deliver netdev event for fail-over under the active-backup mode · 01f3109d
      Or Gerlitz 提交于
      under active-backup mode and when there's actual new_active slave,
      have bond_change_active_slave() call the networking core to deliver
      NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event such that the fail-over can be notable
      by code outside of the bonding driver such as the RDMA stack and
      monitoring tools.
      
      As the correct context of locking appropriate for notifier calls is RTNL
      and nothing else, bond->curr_slave_lock and bond->lock are unlocked and
      later locked again. This is ensured by the rest of the code to be safe
      under backup-mode AND when new_active is not NULL.

      bonding: Deadlock between bonding_store_bonds and bond_destroy_sysfs. · ae68c398
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      The sysfs layer has an internal protection, that ensures, that
      all the process sitting inside ->sore/->show callback exits
      before the appropriate entry is unregistered (the calltraces
      are rather big, but I can provide them if required).
      
      On the other hand, bonding takes rtnl_lock in
      a) the bonding_store_bonds, i.e. in ->store callback,
      b) module exit before calling the sysfs unregister routines.
      
      Thus, the classical AB-BA deadlock may occur. To reproduce run
      # while :; do modprobe bonding; rmmod bonding; done
      and
      # while :; do echo '+bond%d' > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters ; done
      in parallel.
      
      The fix is to move the bond_destroy_sysfs out of the rtnl_lock,
      but _before_ bond_free_all to make sure no bonding devices exist
      after module unload.
