Remove bond_has_ip and all references to it. With this change,
the ARP monitor will always send ARP probes if the master is up and has
at least one slave. If the bond has an IP address, it is used in the
ARP probe; if not, the probes are sent with all zeros in the sender's
IP address (which is consistent with an RFC 2131 4.4.1 duplicate address
probe).
This is useful for cases when bonding itself is hidden underneath
a layer of virtual devices, e.g., with Xen.

Convert bonding to use msecs_to_jiffies instead of doing the
math. For the ARP monitor, there was an underflow problem that could
result in an infinite loop. The miimon already had that worked around,
but this is cleaner.
Originally by Nicolas de Pesloüan <nicolas.2p.debian@free.fr>
Jay Vosburgh corrected a math error in the original; Nicolas' original
commit message is:
When setting arp_interval parameter to a very low value, delta_in_ticks
for next arp might become 0, causing an infinite loop.

bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from master
two steps were rearranged in the enslavement process: netdev_set_master
is now before the call to dev_open to open the slave.
This patch updates the error cases and unwind process at the
end of bond_enslave to match the new order. Without this patch, it is
possible for the enslavement to fail, but leave the slave with IFF_SLAVE
set in its flags.

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.

I've seen reports of invalid stats in /proc/net/dev for bonding
interfaces, and found it's a pretty easy problem to reproduce. Since
the current code zeros the bonding stats when a read is requested and a
pointer to that data is returned to the caller we cannot guarantee that
the caller has completely accessed the data before a successive call to
request the stats zeroes the stats again.
This patch creates a new stack variable to keep track of the updated
stats and copies the data from that variable into the bonding stats
structure. This ensures that the value for any of the bonding stats
should not incorrectly return zero for any of the bonding statistics.
This does use more stack space and require an extra memcpy, but it seems
like a fair trade-off for consistently correct bonding statistics.

Glenn's original comment follows:
Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

Convert mii (link state) monitor to acquire correct locks for
failover events. In particular, failovers generally require RTNL at a low
level (when manipulating device MAC addresses, for example) and no other
locks. The high level monitor is responsible for acquiring a known set
of locks, RTNL, the bond->lock for read and the slave_lock for write, and
the low level failover processing can then release appropriate locks as
needed. This patch provides the high level portion.
As it is undesirable to acquire RTNL for every monitor pass (which
may occur as often as every 10 ms), the miimon has been converted to
do conditional locking. A first pass inspects all slaves to determine
if any action is required, and if so, a second pass (after acquring RTNL)
is done to perform any actions (doing a complete rescan, as the situation
may have changed when all locks were released).

Allow to enslave devices when the bonding device is not up. Over the discussion
held at the previous post this seemed to be the most clean way to go, where it
is not expected to cause instabilities.
Normally, the bonding driver is UP before any enslavement takes place.
Once a netdevice is UP, the network stack acts to have it join some multicast groups
(eg the all-hosts 224.0.0.1). Now, since ether_setup() have set the bonding device
type to be ARPHRD_ETHER and address len to be ETHER_ALEN, the net core code
computes a wrong multicast link address. This is b/c ip_eth_mc_map() is called
where for multicast joins taking place after the enslavement another ip_xxx_mc_map()
is called (eg ip_ib_mc_map() when the bond type is ARPHRD_INFINIBAND)

This patch changes some of the bond netdevice attributes and functions
to be that of the active slave for the case of the enslaved device not being
of ARPHRD_ETHER type. Basically it overrides those setting done by ether_setup(),
which are netdevice **type** dependent and hence might be not appropriate for
devices of other types. It also enforces mutual exclusion on bonding slaves
from dissimilar ether types, as was concluded over the v1 discussion.
IPoIB (see Documentation/infiniband/ipoib.txt) MAC address is made of a 3 bytes
IB QP (Queue Pair) number and 16 bytes IB port GID (Global ID) of the port this
IPoIB device is bounded to. The QP is a resource created by the IB HW and the

For the operations
get-tx-csum
get-sg
get-tso
get-ufo
the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we
permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior.
This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating
ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had
not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls.
The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone
wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation --
a not-uncommon case. Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused
for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a
later date.

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl
were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.
vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.
At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.
To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the
bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum
flags and SG/TSO.
For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that
has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces
an illegal combination.
The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to
deal with this.
In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch
moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both
bonding and bridging.
In the process I've made small adjustments such as only
setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device
supports it.

During the transition to the ethtool_ops way of doing things, we supported
calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to
continue working. Those days are long behind us, all in-tree drivers
use the ethtool_ops way, and so we no longer need to support this.
The bonding driver is the biggest beneficiary of this; it no longer
needs to call ioctl() as a fallback if ethtool_ops aren't supported.
Also put a proper copyright statement on ethtool.c.

At present, when a device is enslaved to bonding, if ipv6 is
active then addrconf will be initated on the slave (because it is closed
then opened during the enslavement processing). This causes DAD and RS
packets to be sent from the slave. These packets in turn can confuse
switches that perform ipv6 snooping, causing them to incorrectly update
their forwarding tables (if, e.g., the slave being added is an inactve
backup that won't be used right away) and direct traffic away from the
active slave to a backup slave (where the incoming packets will be
dropped).
This patch alters the behavior so that addrconf will only run on
the master device itself. I believe this is logically correct, as it
prevents slaves from having an IPv6 identity independent from the
master. This is consistent with the IPv4 behavior for bonding.
This is accomplished by (a) having bonding set IFF_SLAVE sooner
in the enslavement processing than currently occurs (before open, not
after), and (b) having ipv6 addrconf ignore UP and CHANGE events on
slave devices.
The eql driver also uses the IFF_SLAVE flag. I inspected eql,
and I believe this change is reasonable for its usage of IFF_SLAVE, but
I did not test it.

then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if
this were done by default.
1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
->get_stats is set.

In active-backup mode, the current bonding code duplicates IGMP
traffic to all slaves, so that switches are up to date in case of a
failover from an active to a backup interface. If bonding then fails
back to the original active interface, it is likely that the "active
slave" switch's IGMP forwarding for the port will be out of date until
some event occurs to refresh the switch (e.g., a membership query).
This patch alters the behavior of bonding to no longer flood
IGMP to all ports, and to issue IGMP JOINs to the newly active port at
the time of a failover. This insures that switches are kept up to date
for all cases.

The existing code would blindly attempt to create the
bonding_masters file (in /sys/class/net) every time the module was
loaded. When the module is loaded multiple times (which is the
historical method used by initscripts and sysconfig to create multiple
bonding interfaces), this caused load failure of the second module load
attempt, as the creation request would fail.
This changes the code to note the failure, arrange to not remove
the bonding_masters file upon module exit, and then return success.
Bonding interfaces created by the second or subsequent loads of
the module will not exist in bonding_masters. This is not a significant
change, as previously only the interfaces from the most recent load of
the module would be listed. Both situations are less than optimal, but
this case permits compatibility with existing distro configuration
scripts, and is consistent.
Note that previously, the sysfs create request would overwrite
the exsting bonding_masters file and succeed, allowing multiple loads of
the module. The sysfs code has recently changed to return an error if
the file being created already exists.

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.
With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.
While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.
So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.
I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.
This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond. It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.
The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

Replicate IGMP frames across all slaves in activebackup mode. This

multicast traffic will be lost until the next IGMP membership report
poll timeout.
This is conceptually similar to the treatment of IGMP traffic in
bond_alb_xmit. In that case, IGMP traffic transmitted on any slave
is re-routed to the active slave in order to ensure that multicast
traffic continues to be directed to the active receiver.
