0b0eef6641 bonding: Convert miimon to new locking
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).

d90a162a4e net/bonding: Destroy bonding master when last slave is gone
When bonding enslaves non Ethernet devices it takes pointers to functions
in the module that owns the slaves. In this case it becomes unsafe
to keep the bonding master registered after last slave was unenslaved
because we don't know if the pointers are still valid.  Destroying the bond when slave_cnt is zero
ensures that these functions be used anymore.

6b1bf09650 net/bonding: Enable IP multicast for bonding IPoIB devices
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)

872254dd6b net/bonding: Enable bonding to enslave non ARPHRD_ETHER
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
GID is an identifier burned into the HCA (i have omitted here some details which
are not important for the bonding RFC).

88d3aafdae [ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctls
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.

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.

e9dc865340 [NET]: Make device event notification network namespace safe
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
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.

As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

457c4cbc5a [NET]: Make /proc/net per network namespace
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.

7f353bf29e [NET]: Share correct feature code between bridging and bonding
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.

calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to

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.

c2edacf80e bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from master
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.

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.

This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.

a816c7c712 bonding: Improve IGMP join processing
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.

	"GOELLESCH Niels" <niels.goellesch@eurocontrol.int> originally
reported this problem, and included a patch.  His original patch was
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally remove the existing IGMP flood
behavior, use RCU, streamline code paths, fix trailing white space, and
adjust for style.

c4f283b1f2 bonding: fix double dev_add_pack
Bonding can erroneously register the same packet_type to receive
ARPs (for use by ARP validation): once at device open time, and once via
sysfs.  Since sysfs can change the validate setting (and thus register
or unregister) at any time, a flag is needed to synchronize with device
open in order to avoid double registrations, and the simplest place is
within the packet_type structure itself.  Double unregister is not an
issue.

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.

932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
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.

e041c68341 [PATCH] Notifier chain update: API changes
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.

  ATOMIC CHAINS
  -------------
arch/i386/kernel/traps.c:		i386die_chain
arch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:		ia64die_chain
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:		powerpc_die_chain
arch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:		sparc64die_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:		die_chain
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:	xaction_notifier_list
kernel/panic.c:				panic_notifier_list
kernel/profile.c:			task_free_notifier
net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:		hci_notifier
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_chain
net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:	ip_conntrack_expect_chain
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:			inet6addr_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_chain
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:	nf_conntrack_expect_chain
net/netlink/af_netlink.c:		netlink_chain

  BLOCKING CHAINS
  ---------------
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:	pSeries_reconfig_chain
arch/s390/kernel/process.c:		idle_chain
arch/x86_64/kernel/process.c		idle_notifier
drivers/base/memory.c:			memory_chain
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_policy_notifier_list
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c		cpufreq_transition_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/adb.c:		adb_client_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c		sleep_notifier_list
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c	wf_client_list
drivers/usb/core/notify.c		usb_notifier_list
drivers/video/fbmem.c			fb_notifier_list
kernel/cpu.c				cpu_chain
kernel/module.c				module_notify_list
kernel/profile.c			munmap_notifier
kernel/profile.c			task_exit_notifier
kernel/sys.c				reboot_notifier_list
net/core/dev.c				netdev_chain
net/decnet/dn_dev.c:			dnaddr_chain
net/ipv4/devinet.c:			inetaddr_chain

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.)

The patch set was written by Alan Stern and Chandra Seetharaman, incorporating
material written by Keith Owens and suggestions from Paul McKenney and Andrew
Morton.

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.

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 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

169a3e6663 bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hash
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
Foundry documentation found at:

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
