2008-08-07bonding: Don't destroy bonding master when removing slave via sysfsMoni Shoua
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. Signed-off-by: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-08-07bonding: refactor mii monitorJay Vosburgh
Refactor mii monitor. As with the previous ARP monitor refactor, the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case, removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code. This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases: an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase. The commit phase is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is only called when inspection finds something to change.

2008-07-22netdev: Handle ->addr_list_lock just like ->_xmit_lock for lockdep.David S. Miller

2008-07-17netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.David S. Miller
alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument. Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue() interfaces. This makes it easy to grep the tree for all things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device. Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

2008-07-14bonding: Check return of dev_set_promiscuity/allmultiWang Chen
dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti might overflow. Commit: "netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflow" in net-next makes dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti return error number if overflow happened. In bond_alb and bond_main, we check all positive increment for promiscuity and allmulti to get error return. But there are still two problems left. 1. Some code path has no mechanism to signal errors upstream. 2. If there are multi slaves, it's hard to tell which slaves increment promisc/allmulti successfully and which failed. So I left these problems to be FIXME. Fortunately, the overflow is very rare case. Signed-off-by: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-06-18bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zeroJay Vosburgh
Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to zero. This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can be created via sysfs). Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created, but this is no longer possible. Instead, an interface from net/core is created to create and destroy files in net_class. Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>. Modified by Jay Vosburgh to fix the sysfs issue mentioned above and to update the documentation.

2008-06-18bonding: Rework / fix multiple gratuitous ARP supportJay Vosburgh
Support for sending multiple gratuitous ARPs during failovers was added by commit: commit 7893b2491a2d5f716540ac5643d78d37a7f6628b Author: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com> Date: Sat May 17 21:10:12 2008 -0700 bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes over This change modifies that support to remove duplicated code, add support for ARP monitor (the original only supported miimon), clear the grat ARP counter in bond_close (lest a later "ifconfig up" immediately start spewing ARPs), and add documentation for the module parameter.

2008-06-17bonding: deliver netdev event for fail-over under the active-backup modeOr Gerlitz
under active-backup mode and when there's actual new_active slave, have bond_change_active_slave() call the networking core to deliver NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event such that the fail-over can be notable by code outside of the bonding driver such as the RDMA stack and monitoring tools. As the correct context of locking appropriate for notifier calls is RTNL and nothing else, bond->curr_slave_lock and bond->lock are unlocked and later locked again. This is ensured by the rest of the code to be safe under backup-mode AND when new_active is not NULL. Jay Vosburgh modified the original patch for formatting and fixed a compiler error.

2008-06-17bonding: bond_change_active_slave() cleanup under active-backupOr Gerlitz
simplified the code of bond_change_active_slave() such that under active-backup mode there's one "if (new_active)" test and the rest of the code only does extra checks on top of it. This removed an unneeded "if (bond->send_grat_arp > 0)" check and avoid calling bond_send_gratuitous_arp when there's no active slave.

2008-05-22bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_macJay Vosburgh
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. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-05-22bonding: refactor ARP active-backup monitorJay Vosburgh
Refactor ARP monitor for active-backup mode. The motivation for this is to take care of locking issues in a clear manner (particularly to correctly handle RTNL vs. the bonding locks). Currently, the a-b ARP monitor does not hold RTNL at all, but future changes will require RTNL during ARP monitor failovers. Rather than using conditional locking, this patch instead breaks up the ARP monitor into three discrete steps: inspection, commit changes, and probe. The inspection phase marks slaves that require link state changes. The commit phase is only called if inspection detects that changes are needed, and is called with RTNL. Lastly, the probe phase issues the ARP probes that the inspection phase uses to determine link state. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
2008-05-22bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes overMoni Shoua
With IPoIB, reception of gratuitous ARP by neighboring hosts is essential for a successful change of slaves in case of failure. Otherwise, they won't learn about the HW address change and need to wait a long time until the neighboring system gives up and sends an ARP request to learn the new HW address. This patch decreases the chance for a lost of a gratuitous ARP packet by sending it more than once. The number retries is configurable and can be set with a module param.

2008-05-22bonding: remove test for IP in ARP monitorJay Vosburgh
Remove bond_has_ip and all references to it. With this change, the ARP monitor will always send ARP probes if the master is up and has at least one slave. If the bond has an IP address, it is used in the ARP probe; if not, the probes are sent with all zeros in the sender's IP address (which is consistent with an RFC 2131 4.4.1 duplicate address probe). This is useful for cases when bonding itself is hidden underneath a layer of virtual devices, e.g., with Xen.

The miimon already had that worked around, but this is cleaner. Originally by Nicolas de Pesloüan <nicolas.2p.debian@free.fr> Jay Vosburgh corrected a math error in the original; Nicolas' original commit message is: When setting arp_interval parameter to a very low value, delta_in_ticks for next arp might become 0, causing an infinite loop.

2008-05-06bonding: Deadlock between bonding_store_bonds and bond_destroy_sysfs.Pavel Emelyanov
The sysfs layer has an internal protection, that ensures, that all the process sitting inside ->sore/->show callback exits before the appropriate entry is unregistered (the calltraces are rather big, but I can provide them if required). On the other hand, bonding takes rtnl_lock in a) the bonding_store_bonds, i.e. in ->store callback, b) module exit before calling the sysfs unregister routines. Thus, the classical AB-BA deadlock may occur. To reproduce run # while :; do modprobe bonding; rmmod bonding; done and # while :; do echo '+bond%d' > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters ; done in parallel. The fix is to move the bond_destroy_sysfs out of the rtnl_lock, but _before_ bond_free_all to make sure no bonding devices exist after module unload.

2008-02-03bonding: fix race that causes invalid statisticsAndy Gospodarek
I've seen reports of invalid stats in /proc/net/dev for bonding interfaces, and found it's a pretty easy problem to reproduce. Since the current code zeros the bonding stats when a read is requested and a pointer to that data is returned to the caller we cannot guarantee that the caller has completely accessed the data before a successive call to request the stats zeroes the stats again. This patch creates a new stack variable to keep track of the updated stats and copies the data from that variable into the bonding stats structure. This ensures that the value for any of the bonding stats should not incorrectly return zero for any of the bonding statistics. This does use more stack space and require an extra memcpy, but it seems like a fair trade-off for consistently correct bonding statistics.
