2007-07-10bonding / ipv6: no addrconf for slaves separately from masterJay Vosburgh
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.

2007-06-20bonding: Fix use after free in unregister pathJay Vosburgh
The following patch (based on a patch from Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>) removes use after free conditions in the unregister path for the bonding master. Without this patch, an operation of the form "echo -bond0 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters" would trigger a NULL pointer dereference in sysfs. I was not able to induce the failure with the non-sysfs code path, but for consistency I updated that code as well. I also did some testing of the bonding /proc file being open while the bond is being deleted, and didn't see any problems there.

2007-04-25[NET]: Inline net_device_statsRusty Russell
Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if this were done by default. 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. Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

2007-03-06bonding: Improve IGMP join processingJay Vosburgh
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.

2007-03-06bonding: fix double dev_add_packJay Vosburgh
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. Bug reported by Ulrich Oelmann <ulrich.oelmann@web.de>. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2007-02-14[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau
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).

2007-02-05bonding: modify sysfs support to permit multiple loadsJay Vosburgh
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. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-06-17[NET]: Add netif_tx_lockHerbert Xu
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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
