[ Upstream commit 28d68d396a1cd21591e8c6d74afbde33a7ea107e ]

Normally, a bond uses the MAC address of the first added slave as the bond’s
MAC address. And the bond will set active slave’s MAC address to bond’s
address if fail_over_mac is set to none (0) or follow (2).

When the first slave is removed, the bond will still use the removed slave’s
MAC address, which can lead to a duplicate MAC address and potentially cause
issues with the switch. To avoid confusion, let's warn the user in all
situations, including when fail_over_mac is set to 2 or not in active-backup
mode.

<title>bonding: check xdp prog when set bond mode</title>

[ Upstream commit 094ee6017ea09c11d6af187935a949df32803ce0 ]

Following operations can trigger a warning[1]:

    ip netns add ns1
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link add bond0 type bond mode balance-rr
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev bond0 xdp obj af_xdp_kern.o sec xdp
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link set bond0 type bond mode broadcast
    ip netns del ns1

When delete the namespace, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called to remove xdp
program on bond dev, and bond_xdp_set() will check the bond mode. If bond
mode is changed after attaching xdp program, the warning may occur.

Some bond modes (broadcast, etc.) do not support native xdp. Set bond mode
with xdp program attached is not good. Add check for xdp program when set
bond mode.

<title>bonding: fix incorrect MAC address setting to receive NS messages</title>

<id>0c5e145a350de3b38cd5ae77a401b12c46fb7c1d</id>
<content type='text'>
When validation on the backup slave is enabled, we need to validate the
Neighbor Solicitation (NS) messages received on the backup slave. To
receive these messages, the correct destination MAC address must be added
to the slave. However, the target in bonding is a unicast address, which
we cannot use directly. Instead, we should first convert it to a
Solicited-Node Multicast Address and then derive the corresponding MAC
address.

Fix the incorrect MAC address setting on both slave_set_ns_maddr() and
slave_set_ns_maddrs(). Since the two function names are similar. Add
some description for the functions. Also only use one mac_addr variable
in slave_set_ns_maddr() to save some code and logic.

        fails outright

   - mptcp: blackhole only if 1st SYN retrans w/o MPC is accepted, avoid

The referenced fix is incomplete. It correctly computes
bond_dev-&gt;gso_partial_features across slaves, but unfortunately
netdev_fix_features discards gso_partial_features from the feature set
if NETIF_F_GSO_PARTIAL isn't set in bond_dev-&gt;features.

This is visible with ethtool -k bond0 | grep esp:
tx-esp-segmentation: off [requested on]
esp-hw-offload: on
esp-tx-csum-hw-offload: on

This patch reworks the bonding GSO offload support by:
- making aggregating gso_partial_features across slaves similar to the
  other feature sets (this part is a no-op).
- advertising the default partial gso features on empty bond devs, same
  as with other feature sets (also a no-op).
- adding NETIF_F_GSO_PARTIAL to hw_enc_features filtered across slaves.
- adding NETIF_F_GSO_PARTIAL to features in bond_setup()

With all of these, 'ethtool -k bond0 | grep esp' now reports:
tx-esp-segmentation: on
esp-hw-offload: on
esp-tx-csum-hw-offload: on

Existing primitive has several problems:
	1) calling conventions are clumsy - it returns a dentry reference
that is either identical to its second argument or is an ERR_PTR(-E...);
in both cases no refcount changes happen.  Inconvenient for users and
bug-prone; it would be better to have it return 0 on success and -E... on
failure.
	2) it allows cross-directory moves; however, no such caller have
ever materialized and considering the way debugfs is used, it's unlikely
to happen in the future.  What's more, any such caller would have fun
issues to deal with wrt interplay with recursive removal.  It also makes
the calling conventions clumsier...
	3) tautological rename fails; the callers have no race-free way
to deal with that.
	4) new name must have been formed by the caller; quite a few
callers have it done by sprintf/kasprintf/etc., ending up with considerable
boilerplate.

Proposed replacement: int debugfs_change_name(dentry, fmt, ...).  All callers
convert to that easily, and it's simpler internally.

IMO debugfs_rename() should go; if we ever get a real-world use case for
cross-directory moves in debugfs, we can always look into the right way
to handle that.

<title>bonding: Fix feature propagation of NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL</title>

Drivers like mlx5 expose NIC's vlan_features such as
NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL &amp; NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM which are
later not propagated when the underlying devices are bonded and
a vlan device created on top of the bond.

Right now, the more cumbersome workaround for this is to create
the vlan on top of the mlx5 and then enslave the vlan devices
to a bond.

To fix this, add NETIF_F_GSO_ENCAP_ALL to BOND_VLAN_FEATURES
such that bond_compute_features() can probe and propagate the
vlan_features from the slave devices up to the vlan device.

Given the following bond:

  # ethtool -i enp2s0f{0,1}np{0,1}
  driver: mlx5_core
  [...]

  # ethtool -k enp2s0f0np0 | grep udp
  tx-udp_tnl-segmentation: on
  tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation: on
  tx-udp-segmentation: on
  rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload: on
  rx-udp-gro-forwarding: off

  # ethtool -k enp2s0f1np1 | grep udp
  tx-udp_tnl-segmentation: on
  tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation: on
  tx-udp-segmentation: on
  rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload: on
  rx-udp-gro-forwarding: off

  # ethtool -k bond0 | grep udp
  tx-udp_tnl-segmentation: on
  tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation: on
  tx-udp-segmentation: on
  rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload: off [fixed]
  rx-udp-gro-forwarding: off

Before:

  # ethtool -k bond0.100 | grep udp
  tx-udp_tnl-segmentation: off [requested on]
  tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation: off [requested on]
  tx-udp-segmentation: on
  rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload: off [fixed]
  rx-udp-gro-forwarding: off

After:

  # ethtool -k bond0.100 | grep udp

  tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation: on
  tx-udp-segmentation: on
  rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload: off [fixed]
  rx-udp-gro-forwarding: off

Various users have run into this reporting performance issues when
configuring Cilium in vxlan tunneling mode and having the combination
of bond &amp; vlan for the core devices connecting the Kubernetes cluster
to the outside world.

If a bonding device has slave devices, then the current logic to derive
the feature set for the master bond device is limited in that flags which
are fully supported by the underlying slave devices cannot be propagated
up to vlan devices which sit on top of bond devices. Instead, these get
blindly masked out via current NETIF_F_ALL_FOR_ALL logic.

vlan_features and mpls_features should reuse netdev_base_features() in
order derive the set in the same way as ndo_fix_features before iterating
through the slave devices to refine the feature set.

Both bonding and team driver have logic to derive the base feature
flags before iterating over their slave devices to refine the set
via netdev_increment_features().

Add a small helper netdev_base_features() so this can be reused
instead of having it open-coded multiple times.
