* bonding: Fix LACPDU rx_dropped commit.David S. Miller2012-05-132-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I applied the wrong version of Jiri's bonding fix in commit 13a8e0c8cdb43982372bd6c65fb26839c8fd8ce9 ("bonding: don't increase rx_dropped after processing LACPDUs") I applied v3, which introduces warnings I asked him to fix, instead of v4 which properly takes care of those issues. This inter-diffs such that the warnings are now gone. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* bonding: don't increase rx_dropped after processing LACPDUsJiri Bohac2012-05-103-12/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 3aba891d, bonding processes LACP frames (802.3ad mode) with bond_handle_frame(). Currently a copy of the skb is made and the original is left to be processed by other rx_handlers and the rest of the network stack by returning RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER. As there is no protocol handler for PKT_TYPE_LACPDU, the frame is dropped and dev->rx_dropped increased. Fix this by making bond_handle_frame() return RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED if bonding has processed the LACP frame. Signed-off-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

* bonding: properly unset current_arp_slave on slave link upVeaceslav Falico2012-04-051-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a slave comes up, we're unsetting the current_arp_slave without removing active flags from it, which can lead to situations where we have more than one slave with active flags in active-backup mode. To avoid this situation we must remove the active flags from a slave before removing it as a current_arp_slave.

* net/bonding: correctly proxy slave neigh param setup ndo functionShlomo Pongratz2012-04-041-8/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current implemenation was buggy for slaves who use ndo_neigh_setup, since the networking stack invokes the bonding device ndo entry (from neigh_params_alloc) before any devices are enslaved, and the bonding driver can't further delegate the call at that point in time. As a result when bonding IPoIB devices, the neigh_cleanup hasn't been called. Fix that by deferring the actual call into the slave ndo_neigh_setup from the time the bonding neigh_setup is called.

* net/bonding: emit address change event also in bond_releaseShlomo Pongratz2012-04-041-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | commit 7d26bb103c4 "bonding: emit event when bonding changes MAC" didn't take care to emit the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event in bond_release, where bonding actually changes the mac address (to all zeroes). As a result the neighbours aren't deleted by the core networking code (which does so upon getting that event).

| * bonding: emit event when bonding changes MACWeiping Pan2012-03-291-1/+7

But we see that the source MAC address is the MAC address of previous active slave. Emit NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event when bonding changes its MAC address, in order to let arp_netdev_event flush neighbour cache and route cache.

I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that.

* | bonding: remove entries for master_ip and vlan_ip and query devices insteadAndy Gospodarek2012-03-222-69/+31
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch aimed to resolve an issue where secondary, tertiary, etc. addresses added to bond interfaces could overwrite the bond->master_ip and vlan_ip values. commit 917fbdb32f37e9a93b00bb12ee83532982982df3 Author: Henrik Saavedra Persson <henrik.e.persson@ericsson.com> Date: Wed Nov 23 23:37:15 2011 +0000 bonding: only use primary address for ARP That patch was good because it prevented bonds using ARP monitoring from sending frames with an invalid source IP address. Unfortunately, it didn't always work as expected. When using an ioctl (like ifconfig does) to set the IP address and netmask, 2 separate ioctls are actually called to set the IP and netmask if the mask chosen doesn't match the standard mask for that class of address. The first ioctl did not have a mask that matched the one in the primary address and would still cause the device address to be overwritten. The second ioctl that was called to set the mask would then detect as secondary and ignored, but the damage was already done. This was not an issue when using an application that used netlink sockets as the setting of IP and netmask came down at once. The inconsistent behavior between those two interfaces was something that needed to be resolved. While I was thinking about how I wanted to resolve this, Ralf Zeidler came with a patch that resolved this on a RHEL kernel by keeping a full shadow of the entries in dev->ifa_list for the bonding device and vlan devices in the bonding driver. I didn't like the duplication of the list as I want to see the 'bonding' struct and code shrink rather than grow, but liked the general idea. As the Subject indicates this patch drops the master_ip and vlan_ip elements from the 'bonding' and 'vlan_entry' structs, respectively. This can be done because a device's address-list is now traversed to determine the optimal source IP address for ARP requests and for checks to see if the bonding device has a particular IP address. This code could have all be contained inside the bonding driver, but it made more sense to me to EXPORT and call inet_confirm_addr since it did exactly what was needed. I tested this and a backported patch and everything works as expected. Ralf also helped with verification of the backported patch.

* bonding: send igmp report for its masterPeter Pan(潘卫平)2012-03-191-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Liang Zheng(lzheng@redhat.com) found that in the following topo, bonding does not send igmp report when we trigger a fail-over of bonding. eth0-- |-- bond0 -- br0 eth1-- modprobe bonding mode=1 miimon=100 resend_igmp=10 ifconfig bond0 up ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 brctl addbr br0 ifconfig br0 192.168.100.2/24 up brctl addif br0 bond0 Add 192.168.100.2(br0) into a multicast group, like 224.10.10.10, then trigger a fali-over in bonding. You can see that parameter "resend_igmp" does not work. The reason is that when we add br0 into a multicast group, it does not propagate multicast knowledge down to its ports. If we choose to propagate multicast knowledge down to all ports for bridge, then we have to track every change that is done to bridge, and keep a backup for all ports. It is hard to track, I think. Instead I choose to modify bonding to send igmp report for its master.

* bonding: fix enslaving in alb mode when link downJiri Bohac2012-01-181-18/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bond_alb_init_slave() is called from bond_enslave() and sets the slave's MAC address. This is done differently for TLB and ALB modes. bond->alb_info.rlb_enabled is used to discriminate between the two modes but this flag may be uninitialized if the slave is being enslaved prior to calling bond_open() -> bond_alb_initialize() on the master. It turns out all the callers of alb_set_slave_mac_addr() pass bond->alb_info.rlb_enabled as the hw parameter. This patch cleans up the unnecessary parameter of alb_set_slave_mac_addr() and makes the function decide based on the bonding mode instead, which fixes the above problem.

But there is no such problem when uses miimon. (Take igb for example) I find that the reason is that after dev_open() in bond_enslave(), bond_update_speed_duplex() will call igb_get_settings() , but in that function, it runs ethtool_cmd_speed_set(ecmd, -1); ecmd->duplex = -1; because igb get an error value of status. So even dev_open() is called, but the device is not really ready to get its settings. Maybe it is safe for us to call igb_get_settings() only after this message shows up, that is "igb: p4p1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX". So I prefer to update the speed and duplex for a slave when reseices NETDEV_CHANGE/NETDEV_UP event. Changelog V2: 1 remove the "fake 100/Full" logic in bond_update_speed_duplex(), set speed and duplex to -1 when it gets error value of speed and duplex. 2 delete the warning in bond_enslave() if bond_update_speed_duplex() returns error. 3 make bond_info_show_slave() handle bad values of speed and duplex.

* | bonding: eliminate bond_close race conditionsJay Vosburgh2011-10-304-60/+61
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch resolves two sets of race conditions. Mitsuo Hayasaka <mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com> reported the first, as follows: The bond_close() calls cancel_delayed_work() to cancel delayed works. It, however, cannot cancel works that were already queued in workqueue. The bond_open() initializes work->data, and proccess_one_work() refers get_work_cwq(work)->wq->flags. The get_work_cwq() returns NULL when work->data has been initialized. Thus, a panic occurs. He included a patch that converted the cancel_delayed_work calls in bond_close to flush_delayed_work_sync, which eliminated the above problem. His patch is incorporated, at least in principle, into this patch. In this patch, we use cancel_delayed_work_sync in place of flush_delayed_work_sync, and also convert bond_uninit in addition to bond_close. This conversion to _sync, however, opens new races between bond_close and three periodically executing workqueue functions: bond_mii_monitor, bond_alb_monitor and bond_activebackup_arp_mon. The race occurs because bond_close and bond_uninit are always called with RTNL held, and these workqueue functions may acquire RTNL to perform failover-related activities. If bond_close or bond_uninit is waiting in cancel_delayed_work_sync, deadlock occurs. These deadlocks are resolved by having the workqueue functions acquire RTNL conditionally. If the rtnl_trylock() fails, the functions reschedule and return immediately. For the cases that are attempting to perform link failover, a delay of 1 is used; for the other cases, the normal interval is used (as those activities are not as time critical). Additionally, the bond_mii_monitor function now stores the delay in a variable (mimicing the structure of activebackup_arp_mon). Lastly, all of the above renders the kill_timers sentinel moot, and therefore it has been removed.

| * bonding: use local function pointer of bond->recv_probe in bond_handle_frameMitsuo Hayasaka2011-10-191-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bond->recv_probe is called in bond_handle_frame() when a packet is received, but bond_close() sets it to NULL. So, a panic occurs when both functions work in parallel. Why this happen: After null pointer check of bond->recv_probe, an sk_buff is duplicated and bond->recv_probe is called in bond_handle_frame. So, a panic occurs when bond_close() is called between the check and call of bond->recv_probe. Patch: This patch uses a local function pointer of bond->recv_probe in bond_handle_frame(). So, it can avoid the null pointer dereference.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During a test where a pair of bonding interfaces using ARP monitoring were both brought up and torn down (with an rmmod) repeatedly, a panic in the timer code was noticed. I tracked this down and determined that any of the bonding functions that ran as workqueue handlers and requeued more work might not properly exit when the module was removed. There was a flag protected by the bond lock called kill_timers that is set when the interface goes down or the module is removed, but many of the functions that monitor link status now unlock the bond lock to take rtnl first. There is a chance that another CPU running the rmmod could get the lock and set kill_timers after the first check has passed. This patch does not allow any function to queue work that will make itself run unless kill_timers is not set. I also noticed while doing this work that bond_resend_igmp_join_requests did not have a check for kill_timers, so I added the needed call there as well.

As Jay Vosburgh(fubar@us.ibm.com) pointed out that we can work around that by removing the bond_is_active_slave() check, because the "backup" flag is only meaningful for active backup mode. But if we just simply ignore the bond_is_active_slave() check, the transmission will work fine, but we can't maintain the correct value of "backup" flag for each slaves, though it is meaningless for other mode than active backup. I'd like to reset "backup" and "inactive" flag in bond_open, thus we can keep the correct value of them. As for bond_is_active_slave(), I'd like to prepare another patch to handle it. V2: Use C style comment. Move read_lock(&bond->curr_slave_lock). Replace restore with reset, for active backup mode, it means "restore", but for other modes, it means "reset".
