bond_get_stats() can be called from rtnetlink (with RTNL held)
or from /proc/net/dev seq handler (with RCU held)

The logic added in commit 5f0c5f73e5ef ("bonding: make global bonding
stats more reliable") kind of assumed only one cpu could run there.

If multiple threads are reading /proc/net/dev, stats can be really
messed up after a while.

A second problem is that some fields are 32bit, so we need to properly
handle the wrap around problem.

Given that RTNL is not always held, we need to use
bond_for_each_slave_rcu().

<title>bonding: don't use stale speed and duplex information</title>

<id>266b495f11d6706018f66250cb02a788ff2490d7</id>
<content type='text'>
There is presently a race condition between the bonding periodic
link monitor and the updating of a slave's speed and duplex.  The former
occurs on a periodic basis, and the latter in response to a driver's
calling of netif_carrier_on.

	It is possible for the periodic monitor to run between the
driver call of netif_carrier_on and the receipt of the NETDEV_CHANGE
event that causes bonding to update the slave's speed and duplex.  This
manifests most notably as a report that a slave is up and "0 Mbps full
duplex" after enslavement, but in principle could report an incorrect
speed and duplex after any link up event if the device comes up with a
different speed or duplex.  This affects the 802.3ad aggregator
selection, as the speed and duplex are selection criteria.

	This is fixed by updating the speed and duplex in the periodic
monitor, prior to using that information.

	This was done historically in bonding, but the call to
bond_update_speed_duplex was removed in commit 876254ae2758 ("bonding:
don't call update_speed_duplex() under spinlocks"), as it might sleep
under lock.  Later, the locking was changed to only hold RTNL, and so
after commit 876254ae2758 ("bonding: don't call update_speed_duplex()
under spinlocks") this call is again safe.

<title>bonding: Fix ARP monitor validation</title>

<id>21a75f0915dde8674708b39abfcda113911c49b1</id>
<content type='text'>
The current logic in bond_arp_rcv will accept an incoming ARP for
validation if (a) the receiving slave is either "active" (which includes
the currently active slave, or the current ARP slave) or, (b) there is a
currently active slave, and it has received an ARP since it became active.
For case (b), the receiving slave isn't the currently active slave, and is
receiving the original broadcast ARP request, not an ARP reply from the
target.

	This logic can fail if there is no currently active slave.  In
this situation, the ARP probe logic cycles through all slaves, assigning
each in turn as the "current_arp_slave" for one arp_interval, then setting
that one as "active," and sending an ARP probe from that slave.  The
current logic expects the ARP reply to arrive on the sending
current_arp_slave, however, due to switch FDB updating delays, the reply
may be directed to another slave.

	This can arise if the bonding slaves and switch are working, but
the ARP target is not responding.  When the ARP target recovers, a
condition may result wherein the ARP target host replies faster than the
switch can update its forwarding table, causing each ARP reply to be sent
to the previous current_arp_slave.  This will never pass the logic in
bond_arp_rcv, as neither of the above conditions (a) or (b) are met.

	Some experimentation on a LAN shows ARP reply round trips in the
200 usec range, but my available switches never update their FDB in less
than 4000 usec.

	This patch changes the logic in bond_arp_rcv to additionally
accept an ARP reply for validation on any slave if there is a current ARP
slave and it sent an ARP probe during the previous arp_interval.

Replace 'goto' with 'return' to remove unnecessary check at label:
err_undo_flags.

The reason is that 'err_undo_flags' do two things for the first slave device:
1.revert bond mac address if it is set by the slave device.
2.revert bond device type if it's not ARPHRD_ETHER.

It's not necessary for the following three places, they changed neither bond
mac address nor type. It's straightforward to return directly.

The return value of kzalloc on failure of allocation of memory should
be -ENOMEM and not -1.

Found using Coccinelle. A simplified version of the semantic patch
used is:

//&lt;smpl&gt;
@@
expression *e;
@@

e = kzalloc(...);
if (e == NULL) {
...
return
- -1
+ -ENOMEM
;
}
//&lt;/smpl&gt;

The single call site only checks that the return value is not 0,
hence no change is required at the call site.

Currently the bonding allows to set ad_actor_system and prio while the
bond device is down, but these are actually applied only if there aren't
any slaves yet (applied to bond device when first slave shows up, and to
slaves at 3ad bind time). After this patch changes are applied immediately
and the new values can be used/seen after the bond's upped so it's not
necessary anymore to release all and enslave again to see the changes.
