[PATCH net-next] bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work properly in bridge -try4.3

(updated)
changes v4.2 -> v4.3
- memcpy the address always, not just in case it differs from master->dev_addr
- compare_ether_addr_64bits() is not used so there is no direct need to make new
  header file (I think it would be good to have bond stuff in separate file
  anyway).

changes v4.1 -> v4.2
- use skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST compare rather then comparing skb dest addr
  against skb->dev->dev_addr

The problem is described in following bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487763

Basically here's what's going on. In every mode, bonding interface uses the same
mac address for all enslaved devices (except fail_over_mac). Only balance-alb
will simultaneously use multiple MAC addresses across different slaves. When you
put this kind of bond device into a bridge it will only add one of mac adresses
into a hash list of mac addresses, say X. This mac address is marked as local.
But this bonding interface also has mac address Y. Now then packet arrives with
destination address Y, this address is not marked as local and the packed looks
like it needs to be forwarded. This packet is then lost which is wrong.

Notice that interfaces can be added and removed from bond while it is in bridge.

***
When the multiple addresses for bridge port approach failed to solve this issue
due to STP I started to think other way to solve this. I returned to previous
solution but tweaked one.

This patch solves the situation in the bonding without touching bridge code.
For every incoming frame to bonding the destination address is compared to
current address of the slave device from which tha packet came. If these two
match destination address is replaced by mac address of the master. This address
is known by bridge so it is delivered properly. Note that the comparsion is not
made directly, it's used skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST instead. This is "set"
previously in eth_type_trans().

I experimentally tried that this works as good as searching through the slave
list (v4 of this patch).

By caching frag0_len, we can avoid checking both frag0 and the

Currently skb_gro_header is used for packets which put the hardware
header in skb->data with the rest in frags.  Since the drivers that
need this optimisation all provide completely non-linear packets,
we can gain extra optimisations by only performing the frag0
optimisation for completely non-linear packets.

In particular, we can simply test frag0 (instead of skb_headlen)
to see whether the optimisation is in force.

The function skb_gro_header is called four times per packet which
quickly adds up at 10Gb/s.  This patch inlines it to allow better
optimisations.

Some architectures perform multiplication for page_address, which
is done by each skb_gro_header invocation.  This patch caches that
value in skb->cb to avoid the unnecessary multiplications.

We would like to get rid of netdev->trans_start = jiffies; that about all net
drivers have to use in their start_xmit() function, and use txq->trans_start
instead.

This can be done generically in core network, as suggested by David.

Some devices, (particularly loopback) dont need trans_start update, because
they dont have transmit watchdog. We could add a new device flag, or rely
on fact that txq->tran_start can be updated is txq->xmit_lock_owner is
different than -1. Use a helper function to hide our choice.

offsetof(struct net_device, stats.tx_dropped)=0x6c

Network drivers that touch dev->stats.tx_packets/stats.tx_bytes in their
tx path can slow down SMP operations, since they dirty a cache line
that should stay shared (dev->features is needed in rx and tx paths)

We could move away stats field in net_device but it wont help that much.
(Two cache lines dirtied in tx path, we can do one only)

Better solution is to add tx_packets/tx_bytes/tx_dropped in struct
netdev_queue because this structure is already touched in tx path and
counters updates will then be free (no increase in size)

struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance
devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties
it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks.

But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock
a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes
sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update
will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for
free.

We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to
update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start.

Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in 
netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind)

This patch introduces a new list in struct net_device and brings a set of
functions to handle the work with device address list. The list is a replacement
for the original dev_addr field and because in some situations there is need to
carry several device addresses with the net device. To be backward compatible,
dev_addr is made to point to the first member of the list so original drivers
sees no difference.

netif_tx_queue_stopped(txq) is most of the time false.

Yet its cost is very expensive on SMP.

static inline int netif_tx_queue_stopped(const struct netdev_queue *dev_queue)
{
	return test_bit(__QUEUE_STATE_XOFF, &dev_queue->state);
}

I saw this on oprofile hunting and bnx2 driver bnx2_tx_int().

We probably should split "struct netdev_queue" in two parts, one
being read mostly.

__netif_tx_lock() touches _xmit_lock & xmit_lock_owner, these
deserve a separate cache line.

As my netpoll fix for net doesn't really work for net-next, we
need this update to move the checks into the right place.  As it
stands we may pass freed skbs to netpoll_receive_skb.

This patch also introduces a netpoll_rx_on function to avoid GRO
completely if we're invoked through netpoll.  This might seem
paranoid but as netpoll may have an external receive hook it's
better to be safe than sorry.  I don't think we need this for
2.6.29 though since there's nothing immediately broken by it.

This patch also moves the GRO_* return values to netdevice.h since
VLAN needs them too (I tried to avoid this originally but alas
this seems to be the easiest way out).  This fixes a bug in VLAN
where it continued to use the old return value 2 instead of the
correct GRO_DROP.

As analyzed by Patrick McHardy, vlan needs to reset it's
netdev_ops pointer in it's ->init() function but this
leaves the compat method pointers stale.

Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code.

Any other driver which changes ->netdev_ops after register_netdevice()
will need to call this new function after doing so too.

Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best.  The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal.  The problem was quite
obvious.  For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.

LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.

This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it.  Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

This adds an init_dummy_netdev() function that gets a network device
structure (allocation and lifetime entirely under caller's control) and
initialize the minimum amount of fields so it can be used to schedule
NAPI polls without registering a full blown interface. This is to be
used by drivers that need to tie several hardware interfaces to a single
NAPI poll scheduler due to HW limitations.

It also updates the ibm_newemac driver to use that, this fixing the
oops on 2.6.29 due to passing NULL as "dev" to netif_napi_add()

This patch allows GRO to merge page frags (skb_shinfo(skb)->frags)
in one skb, rather than using the less efficient frag_list.

It also adds a new interface, napi_gro_frags to allow drivers
to inject page frags directly into the stack without allocating
an skb.  This is intended to be the GRO equivalent for LRO's
lro_receive_frags interface.

The existing GSO interface can already handle page frags with
or without an appended frag_list so nothing needs to be changed
there.

The merging itself is rather simple.  We store any new frag entries
after the last existing entry, without checking whether the first
new entry can be merged with the last existing entry.  Making this
check would actually be easy but since no existing driver can
produce contiguous frags anyway it would just be mental masturbation.

If the total number of entries would exceed the capacity of a
single skb, we simply resort to using frag_list as we do now.
