net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwarding

2014-01-10T18:23:08+00:00

Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The
will cause several issues:

- NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan
  instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for
  lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or
  control path.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device
  watchdog.
- dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash
  when tso is disabled for lower device.

Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just
selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also
extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2
forwarding transmission.

With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need
to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep
a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of
dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission.

In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it
provides a necessary synchronization method.

bonding: protect port for bond_3ad_handle_link_change()

2013-12-18T21:52:26+00:00

The bond_3ad_handle_link_change is called with RTNL only,
and the function will modify the port's information with
no further locking, it will not mutex against bond state
machine and incoming LACPDU which do not hold RTNL, So I
add __get_state_machine_lock to protect the port.

But it is not a critical bug, it exist since day one, and till
now it has never been hit and reported, because changes to
speed is very rare, and will not occur critical problem.

The comments in the function is very old, cleanup it and
add a new pr_debug to debug the port message.

bonding: fix packets_per_slave showing

2013-12-06T20:16:51+00:00

There's an issue when showing the value of packets_per_slave due to
using signed integer. The value may be < 0 and thus not put through
reciprocal_value() before showing. This patch makes it use unsigned
integer when showing it.

bonding: add arp_ip_target checks when install the module

2013-12-06T01:58:14+00:00

When I install the bonding with the wrong arp_ip_target,
just like arp_ip_target=500.500.500.500, the arp_ip_target
was transfored to 245.245.245.244 and stored in the ip
target success, it is uncorrect, so I add checks to avoid
adding wrong address.

The in4_pton() will set wrong ip address to 0.0.0.0 and
return 0, also use the micro IS_IP_TARGET_UNUSABLE_ADDRESS
to simplify the code.

bonding: disable arp and enable mii monitoring when bond change to no uses arp mode

2013-11-28T23:20:18+00:00

Because the ARP monitoring is not support for 802.3ad, but I still
could change the mode to 802.3ad from ab mode while ARP monitoring
is running, it is incorrect.

So add a check for 802.3ad in bonding_store_mode to fix the problem,
and make a new macro BOND_NO_USES_ARP() to simplify the code.

v2: according to the Dan Williams's suggestion, bond mode is the most
    important bond option, it should override any of the other sub-options.
    So when the mode is changed, the conficting values should be cleared
    or reset, otherwise the user has to duplicate more operations to modify
    the logic. I disable the arp and enable mii monitoring when the bond mode
    is changed to AB, TB and 8023AD if the arp interval is true.

v3: according to the Nik's suggestion, the default value of miimon should need
    a name, there is several place to use it, and the bond_store_arp_interval()
    could use micro BOND_NO_USES_ARP to make the code more simpify.

bonding: add ip checks when store ip target

2013-11-15T22:44:43+00:00

I met a Bug when I add ip target with the wrong ip address:

echo +500.500.500.500 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target

the wrong ip address will transfor to 245.245.245.244 and add
to the ip target success, it is uncorrect, so I add checks to avoid
adding wrong address.

The in4_pton() will set wrong ip address to 0.0.0.0, it will return by
the next check and will not add to ip target.

v2
According Veaceslav's opinion, simplify the code.

v3
According Veaceslav's opinion, add broadcast check and make a micro
definition to package it.

v4
Solve the problem of the format which David point out.

bonding: fix two race conditions in bond_store_updelay/downdelay

2013-11-14T21:28:52+00:00

This patch fixes two race conditions between bond_store_updelay/downdelay
and bond_store_miimon which could lead to division by zero as miimon can
be set to 0 while either updelay/downdelay are being set and thus miss the
zero check in the beginning, the zero div happens because updelay/downdelay
are stored as new_value / bond->params.miimon. Use rtnl to synchronize with
miimon setting.

bonding: don't permit to use ARP monitoring in 802.3ad mode

2013-11-14T07:29:04+00:00

Currently the ARP monitoring is not supported with 802.3ad, and it's
prohibited to use it via the module params.

However we still can set it afterwards via sysfs, cause we only check for
*LB modes there.

To fix this - add a check for 802.3ad mode in bonding_store_arp_interval.
