b473946a08 bonding: bond_open error return value
The convention for API functions in kernel is to return errno value;
bond_open would return -1 if alb setup failed. The only reason that
could happen is if kmalloc() failed.

1f3c8804ac bonding: allow arp_ip_targets on separate vlans to use arp validation

d9d5283228 bonding: fix a race condition in calls to slave MII ioctls
In mii monitor mode, bond_check_dev_link() calls the the ioctl
handler of slave devices. It stores the ndo_do_ioctl function
pointer to a static (!) ioctl variable and later uses it to call the
handler with the IOCTL macro.

If another thread executes bond_check_dev_link() at the same time
(even with a different bond, which none of the locks prevent), a
race condition occurs. If the two racing slaves have different
drivers, this may result in one driver's ioctl handler being
called with a pointer to a net_device controlled with a different
driver, resulting in unpredictable breakage.

Unless I am overlooking something, the "static" must be a
copy'n'paste error (?).

38fc0026da bonding: change bond_create_proc_entry() to return void
The function bond_create_proc_entry is currently of type int.

Two versions of this function exist:

The one in the ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS branch always return 0.
The one in the else branch (which is empty) return nothing.

When CONFIG_PROC_FS is undef, this cause the following warning:

drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c: In function `bond_create_proc_entry':
drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:3393: warning: control reaches end of
non-void function

No caller of this function use the returned value.

So change the returned type from int to void and remove the
useless return 0; .

active no matter what.

b9f602533e bonding: make ab_arp select active slaves as other modes
When I was implementing primary_passive option (formely named primary_lazy) I've
run into troubles with ab_arp. This is the only mode which is not using
bond_select_active_slave() function to select active slave and instead it
selects it itself. This seems to be not the right behaviour and it would be
better to do it in bond_select_active_slave() for all cases. This patch makes
this happen. Please review.

75c78500dd bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:

*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
   dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
   and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. 
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
   table, which might be unnecessary.

The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

e36b9d16c6 bonding: clean muticast addresses when device changes type
Bonding device forbids slave device of different types under the same
master.

However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its
lifetime.  This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND
or the other way arround.  The change of type requires device level
multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses
depend on the device type.

The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes
type and dev_open() just after that.

In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under
bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER
by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved.

This is how /proc/net/dev_mcast looks like without the patch

5    bond0           1     0     00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05

181470fcf3 bonding: initialization rework
Need to rework how bonding devices are initialized to make it more
amenable to creating bonding devices via netlink.

373500db92 bonding: network device names are case sensative
The bonding device acts unlike all other Linux network device functions
in that it ignores case of device names. The developer must have come
from windows!

Cleanup the management of names and use standard routines where possible.
Flag places where bonding device still doesn't work right with network
namespaces.

9e71626c1c bonding: fix destructor
It is not safe to use a network device destructor that is a function in
the module, since it can be called after module is unloaded if sysfs
handle is open.

When eventually using netlink, the device cleanup code needs to be done
via uninit function.

Avoid a unnecessary carrier state transistion that happens when device

Lockdep works better if initialization is done before registration as well.

93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

9d21493b4b net: tx scalability works : trans_start
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)

9d34d1a20e bonding: fix panic if initialization fails
If module initialisation failed (e.g. because the bonding sysfs entry
cannot be created), kernel panics:
 IP: [<ffffffff8024910a>] destroy_workqueue+0x2d/0x146
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff808268c4>] bond_destructor+0x28/0x78
 [<ffffffff80b64471>] netdev_run_todo+0x231/0x25a
 [<ffffffff80b6dbcd>] rtnl_unlock+0x9/0xb
 [<ffffffff81567907>] bonding_init+0x83e/0x84a

Remove the calls to bond_work_cancel_all() and destroy_workqueue();
both are also called/scheduled via bond_free_all().

bond_destroy_sysfs is unecessary because the sysfs entry has
not been created in the error case.
