bonding sometimes uses Ethernet constants (such as MTU and address length) which
are not good when it enslaves non Ethernet devices (such as InfiniBand).

This patch allows for enslaving netdevices which do not support
the set_mac_address() function. In that case the bond mac address is the one
of the active slave, where remote peers are notified on the mac address
(neighbour) change by Gratuitous ARP sent by bonding when fail-over occurs
(this is already done by the bonding code).

Modify carrier state determination for 802.3ad mode to comply
with section 43.3.9 of IEEE 802.3, which requires that "Links that are
not successful candidates for aggregation (e.g., links that are attached

manually configured to be non-aggregatable) are enabled to operate as
individual IEEE 802.3 links."

"extern inline" generates a warning with -Wmissing-prototypes and I'm
currently working on getting the kernel cleaned up for adding this to
the CFLAGS since it will help us to avoid a nasty class of runtime
errors.
If there are places that really need a forced inline, __always_inline
would be the correct solution.

While working with the latest bonding code I noticed a nasty problem that
will prevent arp monitoring from always functioning correctly on x86_64
systems. Comparing ints to longs and expecting reliable results on x86_64
is a bad idea. With this patch, arp monitoring works correctly again.

Add logic to check ARP request / reply packets used for ARP
monitor link integrity checking.
The current method simply examines the slave device to see if it
has sent and received traffic; this can be fooled by extraneous traffic.
For example, if multiple hosts running bonding are behind a common
switch, the probe traffic from the multiple instances of bonding will
update the tx/rx times on each other's slave devices.

The value of "downdelay/miimon" and "updelay/miimon" are stored in
slave->delay. The type of downdelay, updelay, and miimon are all int.
However, slave->delay is type short, and it is not possible to store the
value of "downdelay/miimon" or "updelay/miimon" in some cases. (For example,
miimon=1 downdelay=32768)

Add support for the bonding master to specify its carrier state
based upon the state of the slaves. For 802.3ad, the bond is up if
there is an active, parterned aggregator. For other modes, the bond is
up if any slaves are up. Updates driver version to 3.0.3.

Originally submitted by Kenzo Iwami; his original description is:
The current bonding driver receives duplicate packets when broadcast/
multicast packets are sent by other devices or packets are flooded by the
switch. In this patch, new flags are added in priv_flags of net_device
structure to let the bonding driver discard duplicate packets in
dev.c:skb_bond().
Modified by Jay Vosburgh to change a define name, update some
comments, rearrange the new skb_bond() for clarity, clear all bonding
priv_flags on slave release, and update the driver version.

I believe I see the race Michael refers to (tlb_choose_channel
may set head, which tlb_init_slave clears), although I was not able to
reproduce it. I have updated his patch for the current netdev-2.6.git
tree and added a version update. His original comment follows:
Our systems have been crashing during testing of PCI HotPlug
support in the various networking components. We've faulted in
the bonding driver due to a bug in bond_alb.c:tlb_clear_slave()
In that routine, the last modification to the TLB hash table is
made without protection of the lock, allowing a race that can lead
tlb_choose_channel() to select an invalid table element.

This patch removes backwards compatibility for old ifenslave
binaries (ifenslave prior to verison 1.0.0).
I did not similarly modify ifenslave itself; with sysfs on the
horizon, I don't see that as being worthwhile.

Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding
balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Default mode (what we have now: xor of
MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port
information for hashing to select peer.
Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode;
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode. Jason's
original comment is as follows:
The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the
driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows:
- alternate hashing policy support for mode 2
* Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification
of different hashing policies for mode 2. The original mode 2
policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2().
* Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34()
This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco,
Foundry and IBM, which are explained in

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!
