* bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes overMoni Shoua2008-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* bonding: Remove unneeded list_empty checks.Pavel Emelyanov2008-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | Some places iterate over the checked list right after the check itself, so even if the list is empty, the list_for_each_xxx iterator will make everything right by himself.

* bonding: Relax unneeded _safe lists iterations.Pavel Emelyanov2008-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Many places either do not modify the list under the list_for_each_xxx, or break out of the loop as soon as the first element is removed. Thus, this _safe iteration just occupies some unneeded .text space and requires an additional variable.

* bonding: remove test for IP in ARP monitorJay Vosburgh2008-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Change suggested by Tsutomu Fujii <t-fujii@nb.jp.nec.com>, who included a one-line patch that only affected active-backup mode.

* bonding: Use msecs_to_jiffies, eliminate panicJay Vosburgh2008-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert bonding to use msecs_to_jiffies instead of doing the math. For the ARP monitor, there was an underflow problem that could result in an infinite loop. 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. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10680 Same problem for miimon parameter already fixed, but fix might be enhanced, by using msecs_to_jiffies() function.

* tipc: Fix initialization sequence problems when entering network modeAllan Stephens2008-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch ensures that TIPC's topology service and configuration service are shut down before switching into "network mode". This ensures that TIPC does not mistakenly try to send unnecessary "publication withdraw" messages to other nodes before it is fully initialized for sending off-node messages. Note that the node's current network address is now updated only after the two services are shut down; this ensures that any existing connections to the topology server are terminated correctly using the old address.

The revised error handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command, then following the standard command processing path to generate the required error message.

* tipc: Consolidate subscriber & subscriber port referencesAllan Stephens2008-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies TIPC's network topology service so that it only requires a single reference table entry per subscriber connection, rather than two. This is achieved by letting the reference to the server port communicating with the subscriber act as the reference to the subscriber object itself. (Since the subscriber cannot exist without its port, and vice versa, this dual role for the reference is perfectly natural.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> found that netconsole would panic when resetting bnx2 devices. >From Andy: "The issue is the bnx2_set_link in bnx2_init_nic will print a link-status message before we are fully initialized and ready to start polling. Polling is currently disabled in this state, but since the __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED is overloaded to not only try and disable polling but also to make the system aware there is something waiting to be polled, we really have to fix this in drivers. The problematic call is the one to netif_rx_complete as it tries to remove an entry from the poll_list when there isn't one." While this netconsole problem should be fixed separately, we really should not reset the PHY when changing ring sizes, MTU, or other similar settings.
