* bonding: fix link down handling in 802.3ad modeStephen Hemminger2009-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the purposes of bonding is to allow for redundant links, and failover correctly if the cable is pulled. If all the members of a bonded device have no carrier present, the bonded device itself needs to report no carrier present to user space so management tools (like routing daemons) can respond. Bonding in 802.3ad mode does not work correctly for this because it incorrectly chooses a link that is down as a possible aggregator.

* Bonding: fix zero address hole bug in arp_ip_target listBrian Haley2009-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006). Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the zero entry at the end. With this change we can now have all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero since there will be no addresses after it. Changes are based in part on code fragment provided in kernel: bugzilla 13006: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13006 by Steve Howard <steve@astutenetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Haley <brian.haley@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::ownerAlexey Dobriyan2009-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting in module refcount underflow. We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops and ->data. But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment) and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give some thoughts. ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for protection. rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm. And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular. We definitely don't want such modular code. Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller. So, let's nuke it. Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12454 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
* bonding: select current active slave when enslaving device for mode tlb and albJiri Pirko2009-03-25

When I enslave a card, the current active slave (bond->curr_active_slave) is not set and the link is therefore not functional. ---- # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.5.0 (November 4, 2008) Bonding Mode: adaptive load balancing Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: None MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth1 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:1f:1f:01:2f:22 ---- The thing that gets it right is when I unplug the cable and then I put it back into the NIC.

I also tested this on other machine with Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T NIC and there all works fine. The thing is that this adapter is down and goes up after few seconds after it is enslaved. This patch calls bond_select_active_slave() in bond_enslave() function for modes alb and tlb and makes sure that the current active slave is set up properly even when the slave state is already up.

* netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-1Wang Chen2008-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv: 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv(). 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv. But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it directly. This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev). Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read. But it is too big to be sent in one mail. I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes, which is max size allowed by vger.

* bonding: alternate agg selection policies for 802.3adJay Vosburgh2008-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements alternative aggregator selection policies for 802.3ad. The existing policy, now termed "stable," selects the active aggregator by greatest bandwidth, and only reselects a new aggregator if the active aggregator is entirely disabled (no more ports or all ports down). This patch adds two new policies: bandwidth and count, selecting the active aggregator by total bandwidth (like the stable policy) or by the number of ports in the aggregator, respectively. These two policies also differ from the stable policy in that they will reselect the active aggregator when availability-related changes occur in the bond (e.g., link state change). This permits "gang failover" within 802.3ad, allowing redundant aggregators along parallel paths to always maintain the "best" aggregator as the active aggregator (rather than having to wait for the active to entirely fail).

Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds are supported. - Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event. Default is 1. - Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions: ndisc_build_skb() ndisc_send_skb() These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order. - Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond support to 3.4.0. On failover, this new code will generate one packet: - An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch learn that the address has moved to the new slave. Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.
