2011-03-23bonding: fix rx_handler lockingJiri Pirko
This prevents possible race between bond_enslave and bond_handle_frame as reported by Nicolas by moving rx_handler register/unregister. slave->bond is added to hold pointer to master bonding sructure. That way dev->master is no longer used in bond_handler_frame.

2010-12-09net: Convert netpoll blocking api in bonding driver to be a counterNeil Horman
A while back I made some changes to enable netpoll in the bonding driver. Among them was a per-cpu flag that indicated we were in a path that held locks which could cause the netpoll path to block in during tx, and as such the tx path should queue the frame for later use. This appears to have given rise to a regression. If one of those paths on which we hold the per-cpu flag yields the cpu, its possible for us to come back on a different cpu, leading to us clearing a different flag than we set. This results in odd netpoll drops, and BUG backtraces appearing in the log, as we check to make sure that we only clear set bits, and only set clear bits. I had though briefly about changing the offending paths so that they wouldn't sleep, but looking at my origional work more closely, it doesn't appear that a per-cpu flag is warranted. We alrady gate the checking of this flag on IFF_IN_NETPOLL, so we don't hit this in the normal tx case anyway. And practically speaking, the normal use case for netpoll is to only have one client anyway, so we're not going to erroneously queue netpoll frames when its actually safe to do so. As such, lets just convert that per-cpu flag to an atomic counter. It fixes the rescheduling bugs, is equivalent from a performance perspective and actually eliminates some code in the process.

2010-10-18bonding: Fix deadlock in bonding driver resulting from internal locking when ↵Neil Horman
using netpoll The monitoring paths in the bonding driver take write locks that are shared by the tx path. If netconsole is in use, these paths can call printk which puts us in the netpoll tx path, which, if netconsole is attached to the bonding driver, result in deadlock (the xmit_lock guards are useless in netpoll_send_skb, as the monitor paths in the bonding driver don't claim the xmit_lock, nor should they). The solution is to use a per cpu flag internal to the driver to indicate when a cpu is holding the lock in a path that might recusrse into the tx path for the driver via netconsole. By checking this flag on transmit, we can defer the sending of the netconsole frames until a later time using the retransmit feature of netpoll_send_skb that is triggered on the return code NETDEV_TX_BUSY. I've tested this and am able to transmit via netconsole while causing failover conditions on the bond slave links. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-06-05bonding: allow user-controlled output slave selectionAndy Gospodarek
v2: changed bonding module version, modified to apply on top of changes from previous patch in series, and updated documentation to elaborate on multiqueue awareness that now exists in bonding driver. This patch give the user the ability to control the output slave for round-robin and active-backup bonding. Similar functionality was discussed in the past, but Jay Vosburgh indicated he would rather see a feature like this added to existing modes rather than creating a completely new mode. Jay's thoughts as well as Neil's input surrounding some of the issues with the first implementation pushed us toward a design that relied on the queue_mapping rather than skb marks. Round-robin and active-backup modes were chosen as the first users of this slave selection as they seemed like the most logical choices when considering a multi-switch environment. Round-robin mode works without any modification, but active-backup does require inclusion of the first patch in this series and setting the 'all_slaves_active' flag. This will allow reception of unicast traffic on any of the backup interfaces. This was tested with IPv4-based filters as well as VLAN-based filters with good results. More information as well as a configuration example is available in the patch to Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.

2010-06-05bonding: add all_slaves_active parameterAndy Gospodarek
v2: changed parameter name from 'keep_all' to 'all_slaves_active' and skipped setting slaves to inactive rather than creating a new flag at Jay's suggestion. In an effort to suppress duplicate frames on certain bonding modes (specifically the modes that do not require additional configuration on the switch or switches connected to the host), code was added in the generic receive patch in 2.6.16. The current behavior works quite well for most users, but there are some times it would be nice to restore old functionality and allow all frames to make their way up the stack. This patch adds support for a new module option and sysfs file called 'all_slaves_active' that will restore pre-2.6.16 functionality if the user desires. The default value is '0' and retains existing behavior, but the user can set it to '1' and allow all frames up if desired.

2008-11-12netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-1Wang Chen
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).

2008-11-06bonding: alternate agg selection policies for 802.3adJay Vosburgh
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. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-11-06bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failoverBrian Haley
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.

2008-05-22bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_macJay Vosburgh
Add a "follow" selection for fail_over_mac. This option causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active slave changes. This is in addition to the existing fail_over_mac option that causes the bond's MAC address to change during failover. This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices). Because the MAC of the bond itself does not change, the "follow" option is slightly more reliable during failover and doesn't change the MAC of the bond during operation. This patch requires a previous ARP monitor change to properly handle RTNL during failovers. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-05-22bonding: refactor ARP active-backup monitorJay Vosburgh
Refactor ARP monitor for active-backup mode. The motivation for this is to take care of locking issues in a clear manner (particularly to correctly handle RTNL vs. the bonding locks). Currently, the a-b ARP monitor does not hold RTNL at all, but future changes will require RTNL during ARP monitor failovers. Rather than using conditional locking, this patch instead breaks up the ARP monitor into three discrete steps: inspection, commit changes, and probe. The inspection phase marks slaves that require link state changes. The commit phase is only called if inspection detects that changes are needed, and is called with RTNL. Lastly, the probe phase issues the ARP probes that the inspection phase uses to determine link state. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-05-22bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes overMoni Shoua
With IPoIB, reception of gratuitous ARP by neighboring hosts is essential for a successful change of slaves in case of failure. Otherwise, they won't learn about the HW address change and need to wait a long time until the neighboring system gives up and sends an ARP request to learn the new HW address.
