If those match, then the Partner's synchronization state is set to true. The current 802.3ad implementation is performing these steps out of order; first, the synchronization check is done, then the paramters are checked to see if they match (the synch check being done against a match check of a prior LACPDU). This causes delays in establishing aggregators in some circumstances. This patch modifies the 802.3ad code to call __choose_matched, the function that does the "match" comparisions, as the first step of __record_pdu, instead of immediately afterwards. This new behavior is in compliance with the language of the standard. Some additional commentary relating to code vs. standard is also added. Reported by Martin Patterson <martin@gear6.com> who also supplied the logic of the fix and verified the patch. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In mii monitor mode, bond_check_dev_link() calls the the ioctl handler of slave devices. It stores the ndo_do_ioctl function pointer to a static (!) ioctl variable and later uses it to call the handler with the IOCTL macro. If another thread executes bond_check_dev_link() at the same time (even with a different bond, which none of the locks prevent), a race condition occurs. If the two racing slaves have different drivers, this may result in one driver's ioctl handler being called with a pointer to a net_device controlled with a different driver, resulting in unpredictable breakage. Unless I am overlooking something, the "static" must be a copy'n'paste error (?). Signed-off-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* bonding: set primary param via sysfsJiri Pirko2009-10-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Primary module parameter passed to bonding is pernament. That means if you release the primary slave and enslave it again, it becomes the primary slave again. But if you set primary slave via sysfs, the primary slave is only set once and it's not remembered in bond->params structure. Therefore the setting is lost after releasing the primary slave.

* bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()Moni Shoua2009-09-151-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses. This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks: *. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat) and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. *. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing table, which might be unnecessary. The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its lifetime. This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND or the other way arround. The change of type requires device level multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses depend on the device type. The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes type and dev_open() just after that. In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved.

* bonding: fix destructorStephen Hemminger2009-06-133-15/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | It is not safe to use a network device destructor that is a function in the module, since it can be called after module is unloaded if sysfs handle is open. When eventually using netlink, the device cleanup code needs to be done via uninit function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users still load bond module multiple times to create bonding devices. This accidentally was broken by a later patch about the time sysfs was fixed. According to Jay, it was broken by: commit b8a9787eddb0e4665f31dd1d64584732b2b5d051 Author: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Date: Fri Jun 13 18:12:04 2008 -0700 bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zero Note: sysfs and procfs still produce WARN() messages when this is done so the sysfs method is the recommended API.

* net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()Eric Dumazet2009-05-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb). CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device, since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs. It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions. David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq() (so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit(). List of devices that must clear this flag is : - loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick : "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets already need to have a dst_entry attached." - appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function - And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function (as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: FIX bonding sysfs rtnl_lock deadlockEric W. Biederman2009-05-181-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | Sysfs files for a network device can not unconditionally take the rtnl_lock as the bonding sysfs files do. If someone accesses those sysfs files while the network device is being unregistered with the rtnl_lock held we will deadlock. So use trylock and restart_syscall to avoid this problem.
