32 * v0.1 - first working version.
33 * v0.2 - changed stats to be calculated by summing slaves stats.
34 *
35 * Changes:
36 * Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@conectiva.com.br>
37 * - fix leaks on failure at bond_init
38 *
39 * 2000/09/30 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
40 * - added trivial code to release a slave device.
41 * - fixed security bug (CAP_NET_ADMIN not checked)
42 * - implemented MII link monitoring to disable dead links :
43 * All MII capable slaves are checked every <miimon> milliseconds
44 * (100 ms seems good). This value can be changed by passing it to
45 * insmod. A value of zero disables the monitoring (default).
46 * - fixed an infinite loop in bond_xmit_roundrobin() when there's no
47 * good slave.
48 * - made the code hopefully SMP safe
49 *
50 * 2000/10/03 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
51 * - optimized slave lists based on relevant suggestions from Thomas Davis
52 * - implemented active-backup method to obtain HA with two switches:
53 * stay as long as possible on the same active interface, while we
54 * also monitor the backup one (MII link status) because we want to know
55 * if we are able to switch at any time. ( pass "mode=1" to insmod )
56 * - lots of stress testings because we need it to be more robust than the
57 * wires ! :->
58 *
59 * 2000/10/09 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
60 * - added up and down delays after link state change.
61 * - optimized the slaves chaining so that when we run forward, we never
62 * repass through the bond itself, but we can find it by searching
63 * backwards. Renders the deletion more difficult, but accelerates the
64 * scan.
65 * - smarter enslaving and releasing.
66 * - finer and more robust SMP locking
67 *
68 * 2000/10/17 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
69 * - fixed two potential SMP race conditions
70 *
71 * 2000/10/18 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
72 * - small fixes to the monitoring FSM in case of zero delays
73 * 2000/11/01 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
74 * - fixed first slave not automatically used in trunk mode.
75 * 2000/11/10 : spelling of "EtherChannel" corrected.
76 * 2000/11/13 : fixed a race condition in case of concurrent accesses to ioctl().
77 * 2000/12/16 : fixed improper usage of rtnl_exlock_nowait().
78 *
79 * 2001/1/3 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
80 * - The bonding driver now simulates MII status monitoring, just like
81 * a normal network device. It will show that the link is down iff
82 * every slave in the bond shows that their links are down. If at least
83 * one slave is up, the bond's MII status will appear as up.
84 *
85 * 2001/2/7 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
86 * - Applications can now query the bond from user space to get
87 * information which may be useful. They do this by calling
88 * the BOND_INFO_QUERY ioctl. Once the app knows how many slaves
89 * are in the bond, it can call the BOND_SLAVE_INFO_QUERY ioctl to
90 * get slave specific information (# link failures, etc). See
91 * <linux/if_bonding.h> for more details. The structs of interest
92 * are ifbond and ifslave.
93 *
94 * 2001/4/5 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
95 * - Ported to 2.4 Kernel
96 *
97 * 2001/5/2 - Jeffrey E. Mast <jeff at mastfamily dot com>
98 * - When a device is detached from a bond, the slave device is no longer
99 * left thinking that is has a master.
100 *
101 * 2001/5/16 - Jeffrey E. Mast <jeff at mastfamily dot com>
102 * - memset did not appropriately initialized the bond rw_locks. Used
103 * rwlock_init to initialize to unlocked state to prevent deadlock when
104 * first attempting a lock
105 * - Called SET_MODULE_OWNER for bond device
106 *
107 * 2001/5/17 - Tim Anderson <tsa at mvista.com>
108 * - 2 paths for releasing for slave release; 1 through ioctl
109 * and 2) through close. Both paths need to release the same way.
110 * - the free slave in bond release is changing slave status before
111 * the free. The netdev_set_master() is intended to change slave state
112 * so it should not be done as part of the release process.
113 * - Simple rule for slave state at release: only the active in A/B and
114 * only one in the trunked case.
115 *
116 * 2001/6/01 - Tim Anderson <tsa at mvista.com>
117 * - Now call dev_close when releasing a slave so it doesn't screw up
118 * out routing table.
119 *
120 * 2001/6/01 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
121 * - Added /proc support for getting bond and slave information.
122 * Information is in /proc/net/<bond device>/info.
123 * - Changed the locking when calling bond_close to prevent deadlock.
124 *
125 * 2001/8/05 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us.ibm.com>
126 * - correct problem where refcnt of slave is not incremented in bond_ioctl
127 * so the system hangs when halting.
128 * - correct locking problem when unable to malloc in bond_enslave.
129 * - adding bond_xmit_xor logic.
130 * - adding multiple bond device support.
131 *
132 * 2001/8/13 - Erik Habbinga <erik_habbinga at hp dot com>
133 * - correct locking problem with rtnl_exlock_nowait
134 *
135 * 2001/8/23 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us.ibm.com>
136 * - bzero initial dev_bonds, to correct oops
137 * - convert SIOCDEVPRIVATE to new MII ioctl calls
138 *
139 * 2001/9/13 - Takao Indoh <indou dot takao at jp dot fujitsu dot com>
140 * - Add the BOND_CHANGE_ACTIVE ioctl implementation
141 *
142 * 2001/9/14 - Mark Huth <mhuth at mvista dot com>
143 * - Change MII_LINK_READY to not check for end of auto-negotiation,
144 * but only for an up link.
145 *
146 * 2001/9/20 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
147 * - Add the device field to bonding_t. Previously the net_device
148 * corresponding to a bond wasn't available from the bonding_t
149 * structure.
150 *
151 * 2001/9/25 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us.ibm.com>
152 * - add arp_monitor for active backup mode
153 *
154 * 2001/10/23 - Takao Indoh <indou dot takao at jp dot fujitsu dot com>
155 * - Various memory leak fixes
156 *
157 * 2001/11/5 - Mark Huth <mark dot huth at mvista dot com>
158 * - Don't take rtnl lock in bond_mii_monitor as it deadlocks under
159 * certain hotswap conditions.
160 * Note: this same change may be required in bond_arp_monitor ???
161 * - Remove possibility of calling bond_sethwaddr with NULL slave_dev ptr
162 * - Handle hot swap ethernet interface deregistration events to remove
163 * kernel oops following hot swap of enslaved interface
164 *
165 * 2002/1/2 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
166 * - Restore original slave flags at release time.
167 *
168 * 2002/02/18 - Erik Habbinga <erik_habbinga at hp dot com>
169 * - bond_release(): calling kfree on our_slave after call to
170 * bond_restore_slave_flags, not before
171 * - bond_enslave(): saving slave flags into original_flags before
172 * call to netdev_set_master, so the IFF_SLAVE flag doesn't end
173 * up in original_flags
174 *
175 * 2002/04/05 - Mark Smith <mark.smith at comdev dot cc> and
176 * Steve Mead <steve.mead at comdev dot cc>
177 * - Port Gleb Natapov's multicast support patchs from 2.4.12
178 * to 2.4.18 adding support for multicast.
179 *
180 * 2002/06/10 - Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com>
181 * - corrected uninitialized pointer (ifr.ifr_data) in bond_check_dev_link;
182 * actually changed function to use MIIPHY, then MIIREG, and finally
183 * ETHTOOL to determine the link status
184 * - fixed bad ifr_data pointer assignments in bond_ioctl
185 * - corrected mode 1 being reported as active-backup in bond_get_info;
186 * also added text to distinguish type of load balancing (rr or xor)
187 * - change arp_ip_target module param from "1-12s" (array of 12 ptrs)
188 * to "s" (a single ptr)
189 *
190 * 2002/08/30 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
191 * - Removed acquisition of xmit_lock in set_multicast_list; caused
192 * deadlock on SMP (lock is held by caller).
193 * - Revamped SIOCGMIIPHY, SIOCGMIIREG portion of bond_check_dev_link().
194 *
195 * 2002/09/18 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
196 * - Fixed up bond_check_dev_link() (and callers): removed some magic
197 * numbers, banished local MII_ defines, wrapped ioctl calls to
198 * prevent EFAULT errors
199 *
200 * 2002/9/30 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
201 * - make sure the ip target matches the arp_target before saving the
202 * hw address.
203 *
204 * 2002/9/30 - Dan Eisner <eisner at 2robots dot com>
205 * - make sure my_ip is set before taking down the link, since
206 * not all switches respond if the source ip is not set.
207 *
208 * 2002/10/8 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us dot ibm dot com>
209 * - read in the local ip address when enslaving a device
210 * - add primary support
211 * - make sure 2*arp_interval has passed when a new device
212 * is brought on-line before taking it down.
213 *
214 * 2002/09/11 - Philippe De Muyter <phdm at macqel dot be>
215 * - Added bond_xmit_broadcast logic.
216 * - Added bond_mode() support function.
217 *
218 * 2002/10/26 - Laurent Deniel <laurent.deniel at free.fr>
219 * - allow to register multicast addresses only on active slave
220 * (useful in active-backup mode)
221 * - add multicast module parameter
222 * - fix deletion of multicast groups after unloading module
223 *
224 * 2002/11/06 - Kameshwara Rayaprolu <kameshwara.rao * wipro_com>
225 * - Changes to prevent panic from closing the device twice; if we close
226 * the device in bond_release, we must set the original_flags to down
227 * so it won't be closed again by the network layer.
228 *
229 * 2002/11/07 - Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com>
230 * - Fix arp_target_hw_addr memory leak
231 * - Created activebackup_arp_monitor function to handle arp monitoring
232 * in active backup mode - the bond_arp_monitor had several problems...
233 * such as allowing slaves to tx arps sequentially without any delay
234 * for a response
235 * - Renamed bond_arp_monitor to loadbalance_arp_monitor and re-wrote
236 * this function to just handle arp monitoring in load-balancing mode;
237 * it is a lot more compact now
238 * - Changes to ensure one and only one slave transmits in active-backup
239 * mode
240 * - Robustesize parameters; warn users about bad combinations of
241 * parameters; also if miimon is specified and a network driver does
242 * not support MII or ETHTOOL, inform the user of this
243 * - Changes to support link_failure_count when in arp monitoring mode
244 * - Fix up/down delay reported in /proc
245 * - Added version; log version; make version available from "modinfo -d"
246 * - Fixed problem in bond_check_dev_link - if the first IOCTL (SIOCGMIIPH)
247 * failed, the ETHTOOL ioctl never got a chance
248 *
249 * 2002/11/16 - Laurent Deniel <laurent.deniel at free.fr>
250 * - fix multicast handling in activebackup_arp_monitor
251 * - remove one unnecessary and confusing curr_active_slave == slave test
252 * in activebackup_arp_monitor
253 *
254 * 2002/11/17 - Laurent Deniel <laurent.deniel at free.fr>
255 * - fix bond_slave_info_query when slave_id = num_slaves
256 *
257 * 2002/11/19 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us dot ibm dot com>
258 * - correct ifr_data reference. Update ifr_data reference
259 * to mii_ioctl_data struct values to avoid confusion.
260 *
261 * 2002/11/22 - Bert Barbe <bert.barbe at oracle dot com>
262 * - Add support for multiple arp_ip_target
263 *
264 * 2002/12/13 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
265 * - Changed to allow text strings for mode and multicast, e.g.,
266 * insmod bonding mode=active-backup. The numbers still work.
267 * One change: an invalid choice will cause module load failure,
268 * rather than the previous behavior of just picking one.
269 * - Minor cleanups; got rid of dup ctype stuff, atoi function
270 *
271 * 2003/02/07 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
272 * - Added use_carrier module parameter that causes miimon to
273 * use netif_carrier_ok() test instead of MII/ETHTOOL ioctls.
274 * - Minor cleanups; consolidated ioctl calls to one function.
275 *
276 * 2003/02/07 - Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com>
277 * - Fix bond_mii_monitor() logic error that could result in
278 * bonding round-robin mode ignoring links after failover/recovery
279 *
280 * 2003/03/17 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
281 * - kmalloc fix (GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC) reported by
282 * Shmulik dot Hen at intel.com.
283 * - Based on discussion on mailing list, changed use of
284 * update_slave_cnt(), created wrapper functions for adding/removing
285 * slaves, changed bond_xmit_xor() to check slave_cnt instead of
286 * checking slave and slave->dev (which only worked by accident).
287 * - Misc code cleanup: get arp_send() prototype from header file,
288 * add max_bonds to bonding.txt.
289 *
290 * 2003/03/18 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
291 * Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
292 * - Make sure only bond_attach_slave() and bond_detach_slave() can
293 * manipulate the slave list, including slave_cnt, even when in
294 * bond_release_all().
295 * - Fixed hang in bond_release() with traffic running:
296 * netdev_set_master() must not be called from within the bond lock.
297 *
298 * 2003/03/18 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
299 * Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
300 * - Fixed hang in bond_enslave() with traffic running:
301 * netdev_set_master() must not be called from within the bond lock.
302 *
303 * 2003/03/18 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
304 * - Added support for getting slave's speed and duplex via ethtool.
305 * Needed for 802.3ad and other future modes.
306 *
307 * 2003/03/18 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
308 * Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
309 * - Enable support of modes that need to use the unique mac address of
310 * each slave.
311 * * bond_enslave(): Moved setting the slave's mac address, and
312 * openning it, from the application to the driver. This breaks
313 * backward comaptibility with old versions of ifenslave that open
314 * the slave before enalsving it !!!.
315 * * bond_release(): The driver also takes care of closing the slave
316 * and restoring its original mac address.
317 * - Removed the code that restores all base driver's flags.
318 * Flags are automatically restored once all undo stages are done
319 * properly.
320 * - Block possibility of enslaving before the master is up. This
321 * prevents putting the system in an unstable state.
322 *
323 * 2003/03/18 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>,
324 * Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
325 * Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
326 * - Added support for IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation mode.
327 *
328 * 2003/05/01 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
329 * - Added ABI version control to restore compatibility between
330 * new/old ifenslave and new/old bonding.
331 *
332 * 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
333 * - Fixed bug in bond_release_all(): save old value of curr_active_slave
334 * before setting it to NULL.
335 * - Changed driver versioning scheme to include version number instead
336 * of release date (that is already in another field). There are 3
337 * fields X.Y.Z where:
338 * X - Major version - big behavior changes
339 * Y - Minor version - addition of features
340 * Z - Extra version - minor changes and bug fixes
341 * The current version is 1.0.0 as a base line.
342 *
343 * 2003/05/01 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
344 * Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
345 * - Added support for lacp_rate module param.
346 * - Code beautification and style changes (mainly in comments).
347 * new version - 1.0.1
348 *
349 * 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
350 * - Based on discussion on mailing list, changed locking scheme
351 * to use lock/unlock or lock_bh/unlock_bh appropriately instead
352 * of lock_irqsave/unlock_irqrestore. The new scheme helps exposing
353 * hidden bugs and solves system hangs that occurred due to the fact
354 * that holding lock_irqsave doesn't prevent softirqs from running.
355 * This also increases total throughput since interrupts are not
356 * blocked on each transmitted packets or monitor timeout.
357 * new version - 2.0.0
358 *
359 * 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
360 * - Added support for Transmit load balancing mode.
361 * - Concentrate all assignments of curr_active_slave to a single point
362 * so specific modes can take actions when the primary adapter is
363 * changed.
364 * - Take the updelay parameter into consideration during bond_enslave
365 * since some adapters loose their link during setting the device.
366 * - Renamed bond_3ad_link_status_changed() to
367 * bond_3ad_handle_link_change() for compatibility with TLB.
368 * new version - 2.1.0
369 *
370 * 2003/05/01 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com>
371 * - Added support for Adaptive load balancing mode which is
372 * equivalent to Transmit load balancing + Receive load balancing.
373 * new version - 2.2.0
374 *
375 * 2003/05/15 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
376 * - Applied fix to activebackup_arp_monitor posted to bonding-devel
377 * by Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com>. Fixes ARP
378 * monitor endless failover bug. Version to 2.2.10
379 *
380 * 2003/05/20 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
381 * - Fixed bug in ABI version control - Don't commit to a specific
382 * ABI version if receiving unsupported ioctl commands.
383 *
384 * 2003/05/22 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
385 * - Fix ifenslave -c causing bond to loose existing routes;
386 * added bond_set_mac_address() that doesn't require the
387 * bond to be down.
388 * - In conjunction with fix for ifenslave -c, in
389 * bond_change_active(), changing to the already active slave
390 * is no longer an error (it successfully does nothing).
391 *
392 * 2003/06/30 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
393 * - Fixed bond_change_active() for ALB/TLB modes.
394 * Version to 2.2.14.
395 *
396 * 2003/07/29 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
397 * - Fixed ARP monitoring bug.
398 * Version to 2.2.15.
399 *
400 * 2003/07/31 - Willy Tarreau <willy at ods dot org>
401 * - Fixed kernel panic when using ARP monitoring without
402 * setting bond's IP address.
403 * Version to 2.2.16.
404 *
405 * 2003/08/06 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
406 * - Back port from 2.6: use alloc_netdev(); fix /proc handling;
407 * made stats a part of bond struct so no need to allocate
408 * and free it separately; use standard list operations instead
409 * of pre-allocated array of bonds.
410 * Version to 2.3.0.
411 *
412 * 2003/08/07 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>,
413 * Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com> and
414 * Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
415 * - Propagating master's settings: Distinguish between modes that
416 * use a primary slave from those that don't, and propagate settings
417 * accordingly; Consolidate change_active opeartions and add
418 * reselect_active and find_best opeartions; Decouple promiscuous
419 * handling from the multicast mode setting; Add support for changing
420 * HW address and MTU with proper unwind; Consolidate procfs code,
421 * add CHANGENAME handler; Enhance netdev notification handling.
422 * Version to 2.4.0.
423 *
424 * 2003/09/15 - Stephen Hemminger <shemminger at osdl dot org>,
425 * Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
