1bc7db1678 bonding: fix disabling of arp_interval and miimon
Currently if either arp_interval or miimon is disabled, they both get
disabled, and upon disabling they get executed once more which is not
the proper behaviour. Also when doing a no-op and disabling an already
disabled one, the other again gets disabled.
Also fix the error messages with the proper valid ranges, and a small
typo fix in the up delay error message (outputting "down delay", instead
of "up delay").

eb492f7443 bonding: unset primary slave via sysfs
When bonding module is loaded with primary parameter and one decides to unset
primary slave using sysfs these settings are not preserved during bond device
restart. Primary slave is only unset once and it's not remembered in
bond->params structure. Below is example of recreation.

 grep OPTS /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100 primary=eth01"
 grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: eth01 (primary_reselect always)

 echo "" > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/primary
 grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: None

 sed -i -e 's/primary=eth01//' /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
 grep OPTS /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond
BONDING_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100 "
 ifdown bond0 && ifup bond0

without patch:
 grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: eth01 (primary_reselect always)

with patch:
 grep "Primary Slave" /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Primary Slave: None

e196c0e579 bonding: fix race condition in bonding_store_slaves_active
Race between bonding_store_slaves_active() and slave manipulation
 functions. The bond_for_each_slave use in bonding_store_slaves_active()
 is not protected by any synchronization mechanism.
 NULL pointer dereference is easy to reach.

fbb0c41b81 bonding: fix miimon and arp_interval delayed work race conditions
First I would give three observations which will be used later.
Observation 1: if (delayed_work_pending(wq)) cancel_delayed_work(wq)
 This usage is wrong because the pending bit is cleared just before the
 work's fn is executed and if the function re-arms itself we might end up
 with the work still running. It's safe to call cancel_delayed_work_sync()
 even if the work is not queued at all.
Observation 2: Use of INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 Work needs to be initialized only once prior to (de/en)queueing.
Observation 3: IFF_UP is set only after ndo_open is called

Related race conditions:
1. Race between bonding_store_miimon() and bonding_store_arp_interval()
 Because of Obs.1 we can end up having both works enqueued.
2. Multiple races with INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 Since the works are not protected by anything between INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
 and calls to (en/de)queue it is possible for races between the following
 functions:
 (races are also possible between the calls to INIT_DELAYED_WORK()
  and workqueue code)
 bonding_store_miimon() - bonding_store_arp_interval(), bond_close(),
			  bond_open(), enqueued functions
 bonding_store_arp_interval() - bonding_store_miimon(), bond_close(),
				bond_open(), enqueued functions
3. By Obs.1 we need to change bond_cancel_all()

Bugs 1 and 2 are fixed by moving all work initializations in bond_open
which by Obs. 2 and Obs. 3 and the fact that we make sure that all works
are cancelled in bond_close(), is guaranteed not to have any work
enqueued.
Also RTNL lock is now acquired in bonding_store_miimon/arp_interval so
they can't race with bond_close and bond_open. The opposing work is
cancelled only if the IFF_UP flag is set and it is cancelled
unconditionally. The opposing work is already cancelled if the interface
is down so no need to cancel it again. This way we don't need new
synchronizations for the bonding workqueue. These bugs (and fixes) are
tied together and belong in the same patch.
Note: I have left 1 line intentionally over 80 characters (84) because I
      didn't like how it looks broken down. If you'd prefer it otherwise,
      then simply break it.

This fixes a network namespace misfeature that bonding_masters looked at
current instead of the remembering the context where in which
/sys/class/net/bonding_masters was opened in to see which network
namespace to act upon.

This removes the need for sysfs to handle tagged directories with
untagged members allowing for a conceptually simpler sysfs
implementation.

f4bb2e9c4f bonding: fix string comparison errors
When a bond contains a device where one name is the subset of another
(eth1 and eth10, for example), one cannot properly set the primary
device or the currently active device.

This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya.  I also verified
the problem and tested that this fix resolves it.

V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I
refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a
bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need
the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string
from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used.

I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would
modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before
forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave.

V3: Actually sending the proper patch....

655f8919d5 bonding: add min links parameter to 802.3ad
This adds support for a configuring the minimum number of links that
must be active before asserting carrier. It is similar to the Cisco
EtherChannel min-links feature. This allows setting the minimum number
of member ports that must be up (link-up state) before marking the
bond device as up (carrier on). This is useful for situations where
higher level services such as clustering want to ensure a minimum
number of low bandwidth links are active before switchover.

It occurs because we are able to change the slave configuarion of a bond while
the bond interface is down.  The bonding driver initializes some data structures
only after its ndo_open routine is called.  Among them is the initalization of
the alb tx and rx hash locks.  So if we add or remove a slave without first
opening the bond master device, we run the risk of trying to lock/unlock a
spinlock that has garbage for data in it, which results in our above softlock.

Note that sometimes this works, because in many cases an unlocked spinlock has
the raw_lock parameter initialized to zero (meaning that the kzalloc of the
net_device private data is equivalent to calling spin_lock_init), but thats not
true in all cases, and we aren't guaranteed that condition, so we need to pass
the relevant spinlocks through the spin_lock_init function.

Fix it by moving the spin_lock_init calls for the tx and rx hashtable locks to
the ndo_init path, so they are ready for use by the bond_store_slaves path.

Change notes:
v2) Based on conversation with Jay and Nicolas it seems that the ability to
enslave devices while the bond master is down should be safe to do.  As such
this is an outlier bug, and so instead we'll just initalize the errant spinlocks
in the init path rather than the open path, solving the problem.  We'll also
remove the warnings about the bond being down during enslave operations, since
it should be safe

v3) Fix spelling error

ad246c992b ipv4, ipv6, bonding: Restore control over number of peer notifications
For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and
sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications
(gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover.
Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new
active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer
notification should be deferred until it does.

Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer
notifications on bonding failover.

Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested.  Since
it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make

3aba891dde bonding: move processing of recv handlers into handle_frame()
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.

5f86cad1e8 bonding: Improve syslog message at device creation time
When the bonding module is loaded, it creates bond0 by default.
Then, when attempting to create bond0, the following messages
are printed to syslog:

    kernel: bonding: bond0 is being created...
    kernel: bonding: Bond creation failed.

Which seems to indicate a problem, when in reality there is no
problem.  Since the actual error code is passed down from bond_create,
make use of it to print a bit less ominous message:

e843fa5088 bonding: Fix deadlock in bonding driver resulting from internal locking when 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.

c5cb002fb0 bonding: prevent sysfs from allowing arp monitoring with alb/tlb
When using module options arp monitoring and balance-alb/balance-tlb
are mutually exclusive options.  Anytime balance-alb/balance-tlb are
enabled mii monitoring is forced to 100ms if not set.  When configuring
via sysfs no checking is currently done.

Handling these cases with sysfs has to be done a bit differently because
we do not have all configuration information available at once.  This
patch will not allow a mode change to balance-alb/balance-tlb if
arp_interval is already non-zero.  It will also not allow the user to
set a non-zero arp_interval value if the mode is already set to
balance-alb/balance-tlb.  They are still mutually exclusive on a
first-come, first serve basis.

Tested with initscripts on Fedora and manual setting via sysfs.

bb1d912323 bonding: allow user-controlled output slave selection
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.

ebd8e4977a bonding: add all_slaves_active parameter
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.

fd989c8332 bonding: alternate agg selection policies for 802.3ad
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

305d552acc bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failover
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.

This patch adds a conditional update of last_rx to the bonding special

db018a5f49 bonding: Don't destroy bonding master when removing slave via sysfs
It is wrong to destroy a bonding master from a context that uses the sysfs
of that bond. When last IPoIB slave is unenslaved from by writing to a
sysfs file (for bond0 this would be /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves)
the driver tries to destroy the bond. This is wrong and can lead to a
lockup or a crash.  This fix lets the bonding master stay and relies on
the user to destroy the bonding master if necessary (i.e. before module
ib_ipoib is unloaded)

This patch affects only bonds of IPoIB slaves. Ethernet slaves stay
unaffected.

3915c1e863 bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_mac
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.

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)

881d966b48 [NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
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.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

877cbd36b2 bonding: modify sysfs support to permit multiple loads
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.

	Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>, who reported this problem,
observed crashes on the old kernel (before sysfs checked for
duplicates).  I did not experience such crashes, but this change should
resolve them.

f5b2b966f0 [PATCH] bonding: Validate probe replies in ARP monitor
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.

8f903c708f [PATCH] bonding: suppress duplicate packets
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.

b76cdba9cd [PATCH] bonding: add sysfs functionality to bonding (large)
This large patch adds sysfs functionality to the channel bonding module.
Bonds can be added, removed, and reconfigured at runtime without having
to reload the module.  Multiple bonds with different configurations are
easily configured, and ifenslave is no longer required to configure bonds.
