<title>bonding: fix arp_validate toggling in active-backup mode</title>

<id>a9b8a2b39ce65df45687cf9ef648885c2a99fe75</id>
<content type='text'>
There's currently a problem with toggling arp_validate on and off with an
active-backup bond. At the moment, you can start up a bond, like so:

modprobe bonding mode=1 arp_interval=100 arp_validate=0 arp_ip_targets=192.168.1.1
ip link set bond0 down
echo "ens4f0" &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
echo "ens4f1" &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
ip link set bond0 up
ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev bond0

Pings to 192.168.1.1 work just fine. Now turn on arp_validate:

echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_validate

Pings to 192.168.1.1 continue to work just fine. Now when you go to turn
arp_validate off again, the link falls flat on it's face:

echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_validate
dmesg
...
[133191.911987] bond0: Setting arp_validate to none (0)
[133194.257793] bond0: bond_should_notify_peers: slave ens4f0
[133194.258031] bond0: link status definitely down for interface ens4f0, disabling it
[133194.259000] bond0: making interface ens4f1 the new active one
[133197.330130] bond0: link status definitely down for interface ens4f1, disabling it
[133197.331191] bond0: now running without any active interface!

The problem lies in bond_options.c, where passing in arp_validate=0
results in bond-&gt;recv_probe getting set to NULL. This flies directly in
the face of commit 3fe68df97c7f, which says we need to set recv_probe =
bond_arp_recv, even if we're not using arp_validate. Said commit fixed
this in bond_option_arp_interval_set, but missed that we can get to that
same state in bond_option_arp_validate_set as well.

One solution would be to universally set recv_probe = bond_arp_recv here
as well, but I don't think bond_option_arp_validate_set has any business
touching recv_probe at all, and that should be left to the arp_interval
code, so we can just make things much tidier here.

Fixes: 3fe68df97c7f ("bonding: always set recv_probe to bond_arp_rcv in arp monitor")

<title>netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag</title>

<content type='text'>
Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.

Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
this semantic patch:

@@ expression E1, E2; @@
-nla_nest_start(E1, E2)
+nla_nest_start_noflag(E1, E2)

<title>bonding: fix event handling for stacked bonds</title>

<id>92480b3977fd3884649d404cbbaf839b70035699</id>
<content type='text'>
When a bond is enslaved to another bond, bond_netdev_event() only
handles the event as if the bond is a master, and skips treating the
bond as a slave.

This leads to a refcount leak on the slave, since we don't remove the
adjacency to its master and the master holds a reference on the slave.

Reproducer:
  ip link add bondL type bond
  ip link add bondU type bond
  ip link set bondL master bondU
  ip link del bondL

No "Fixes:" tag, this code is older than git history.

<title>bonding: show full hw address in sysfs for slave entries</title>

<id>18bebc6dd3281955240062655a4df35eef2c46b3</id>
<content type='text'>
Bond expects ethernet hwaddr for its slave, but it can be longer than 6
bytes - infiniband interface for example.

 # cat /sys/devices/&lt;skipped&gt;/net/ib0/address
 80:00:02:08:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:7c:fe:90:03:00:be:5d:e1

 # cat /sys/devices/&lt;skipped&gt;/net/ib0/bonding_slave/perm_hwaddr
 80:00:02:08:fe:80

So print full hwaddr in sysfs "bonding_slave/perm_hwaddr" as well.

Bond expects ethernet hwaddr for its slave, but it can be longer than 6
bytes - infiniband interface for example.

 # cat /sys/devices/&lt;skipped&gt;/net/ib0/address
 80:00:02:08:fe:80:00:00:00:00:00:00:7c:fe:90:03:00:be:5d:e1

 # cat /sys/devices/&lt;skipped&gt;/net/ib0/bonding_slave/perm_hwaddr
 80:00:02:08:fe:80

So print full hwaddr in sysfs "bonding_slave/perm_hwaddr" as well.

<title>net: remove 'fallback' argument from dev-&gt;ndo_select_queue()</title>

After the previous patch, all the callers of ndo_select_queue()
provide as a 'fallback' argument netdev_pick_tx.
The only exceptions are nested calls to ndo_select_queue(),
which pass down the 'fallback' available in the current scope
- still netdev_pick_tx.

We can drop such argument and replace fallback() invocation with
netdev_pick_tx(). This avoids an indirect call per xmit packet
in some scenarios (TCP syn, UDP unconnected, XDP generic, pktgen)
with device drivers implementing such ndo. It also clean the code
a bit.

Tested with ixgbe and CONFIG_FCOE=m

With pktgen using queue xmit:
threads		vanilla 	patched
		(kpps)		(kpps)
1		2334		2428
2		4166		4278
4		7895		8100

 v1 -&gt; v2:
 - rebased after helper's name change
