2012-11-30bonding: delete migrated IP addresses from the rlb hash tableJiri Bohac
Bonding in balance-alb mode records information from ARP packets passing through the bond in a hash table (rx_hashtbl). At certain situations (e.g. link change of a slave), rlb_update_rx_clients() will send out ARP packets to update ARP caches of other hosts on the network to achieve RX load balancing. The problem is that once an IP address is recorded in the hash table, it stays there indefinitely. If this IP address is migrated to a different host in the network, bonding still sends out ARP packets that poison other systems' ARP caches with invalid information. This patch solves this by looking at all incoming ARP packets, and checking if the source IP address is one of the source addresses stored in the rx_hashtbl. If it is, but the MAC addresses differ, the corresponding hash table entries are removed. Thus, when an IP address is migrated, the first ARP broadcast by its new owner will purge the offending entries of rx_hashtbl. The hash table is hashed by ip_dst. To be able to do the above check efficiently (not walking the whole hash table), we need a reverse mapping (by ip_src). I added three new members in struct rlb_client_info: rx_hashtbl[x].src_first will point to the start of a list of entries for which hash(ip_src) == x. The list is linked with src_next and src_prev. When an incoming ARP packet arrives at rlb_arp_recv() rlb_purge_src_ip() can quickly walk only the entries on the corresponding lists, i.e. the entries that are likely to contain the offending IP address. To avoid confusion, I renamed these existing fields of struct rlb_client_info: next -> used_next prev -> used_prev rx_hashtbl_head -> rx_hashtbl_used_head (The current linked list is _not_ a list of hash table entries with colliding ip_dst. It's a list of entries that are being used; its purpose is to avoid walking the whole hash table when looking for used entries.)

2011-04-25bonding: move processing of recv handlers into handle_frame()Jiri Pirko
Since now when bonding uses rx_handler, all traffic going into bond device goes thru bond_handle_frame. So there's no need to go back into bonding code later via ptype handlers. This patch converts original ptype handlers into "bonding receive probes". These functions are called from bond_handle_frame and they are registered per-mode. Note that vlan packets are also handled because they are always untagged thanks to vlan_untag() Note that this also allows arpmon for eth-bond-bridge-vlan topology.

2007-10-23Convert bonding timers to workqueuesJay Vosburgh
Convert bonding timers to workqueues. This converts the various monitor functions to run in periodic work queues instead of timers. This patch introduces the framework and convers the calls, but does not resolve various locking issues, and does not stand alone.

2005-11-28[bonding] Remove superfluous changelog.Jeff Garzik
No need to record this information in source code, its all in the git repository, and kernel archives.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
