Do not modify or load balance ARP packets passing through balance-alb
mode (wherein the ARP did not originate locally, and arrived via a bridge).
Modifying pass-through ARP replies causes an incorrect MAC address
to be placed into the ARP packet, rendering peers unable to communicate
with the actual destination from which the ARP reply originated.
Load balancing pass-through ARP requests causes an entry to be
created for the peer in the rlb table, and bond_alb_monitor will
occasionally issue ARP updates to all peers in the table instrucing them
as to which MAC address they should communicate with; this occurs when
some event sets rx_ntt. In the bridged case, however, the MAC address
used for the update would be the MAC of the slave, not the actual source
MAC of the originating destination. This would render peers unable to
communicate with the destinations beyond the bridge.

The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary,
etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the
bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values.
commit 917fbdb32f
Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson <henrik.e.persson@ericsson.com>
Date: Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000
bonding: only use primary address for ARP
That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from
sending frames with an invalid source IP address. Unfortunately, it
didn't always work as expected.
When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and
netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask
if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of
address. The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in
the primary address and would still cause the device address to be
overwritten. The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would
then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done.
This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink
sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once. The
inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that
needed to be resolved.
While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler
came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full
shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan
devices in the bonding driver. I didn't like the duplication of the
list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than
grow, but liked the general idea.
As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip
elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively.
This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to
determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks
to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address. This code
could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more
sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly
what was needed.
I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected.
Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch.
Thanks to Ralf for all his help on this.

This patch resolves two sets of race conditions.
Mitsuo Hayasaka <mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com> reported the
first, as follows:
The bond_close() calls cancel_delayed_work() to cancel delayed works.
It, however, cannot cancel works that were already queued in workqueue.
The bond_open() initializes work->data, and proccess_one_work() refers
get_work_cwq(work)->wq->flags. The get_work_cwq() returns NULL when
work->data has been initialized. Thus, a panic occurs.
He included a patch that converted the cancel_delayed_work calls
in bond_close to flush_delayed_work_sync, which eliminated the above
problem.
His patch is incorporated, at least in principle, into this
patch. In this patch, we use cancel_delayed_work_sync in place of
flush_delayed_work_sync, and also convert bond_uninit in addition to
bond_close.
This conversion to _sync, however, opens new races between
bond_close and three periodically executing workqueue functions:
bond_mii_monitor, bond_alb_monitor and bond_activebackup_arp_mon.
The race occurs because bond_close and bond_uninit are always
called with RTNL held, and these workqueue functions may acquire RTNL to
perform failover-related activities. If bond_close or bond_uninit is
waiting in cancel_delayed_work_sync, deadlock occurs.
These deadlocks are resolved by having the workqueue functions
acquire RTNL conditionally. If the rtnl_trylock() fails, the functions
reschedule and return immediately. For the cases that are attempting to
perform link failover, a delay of 1 is used; for the other cases, the
normal interval is used (as those activities are not as time critical).
Additionally, the bond_mii_monitor function now stores the delay
in a variable (mimicing the structure of activebackup_arp_mon).
Lastly, all of the above renders the kill_timers sentinel moot,
and therefore it has been removed.

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.

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
num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter. Bump

A while back I made some changes to enable netpoll in the bonding driver. Among
them was a per-cpu flag that indicated we were in a path that held locks which
could cause the netpoll path to block in during tx, and as such the tx path
should queue the frame for later use. This appears to have given rise to a
regression. If one of those paths on which we hold the per-cpu flag yields the
cpu, its possible for us to come back on a different cpu, leading to us clearing
a different flag than we set. This results in odd netpoll drops, and BUG
backtraces appearing in the log, as we check to make sure that we only clear set
bits, and only set clear bits. I had though briefly about changing the
offending paths so that they wouldn't sleep, but looking at my origional work
more closely, it doesn't appear that a per-cpu flag is warranted. We alrady
gate the checking of this flag on IFF_IN_NETPOLL, so we don't hit this in the
normal tx case anyway. And practically speaking, the normal use case for
netpoll is to only have one client anyway, so we're not going to erroneously
queue netpoll frames when its actually safe to do so. As such, lets just
convert that per-cpu flag to an atomic counter. It fixes the rescheduling bugs,
is equivalent from a performance perspective and actually eliminates some code
in the process.

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.

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.

In an effort to suppress duplicate frames on certain bonding modes

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.
