running bonding in ALB mode requires that learning packets be sent periodically,
so that the switch knows where to send responding traffic. However, depending
on switch configuration, there may not be any need to send traffic at the
default rate of 3 packets per second, which represents little more than wasted
data. Allow the ALB learning packet interval to be made configurable via sysfs

We're using it currently to verify if we have vlans before getting the tag
from the skb we're about to send. It's useless because the vlan_get_tag()
verifies if the skb has the tag (and returns an error if not), and we can
receive tagged skbs only if we *already* have vlans.
Plus, the current RCUed implementation is kind of useless anyway - the we
can remove the last vlan in the moment we return from the function.
So remove the only usage of it and the whole function.

Currently, if there are vlans on top of bond, alb_send_learning_packets()
will never send LPs from the bond itself (i.e. untagged), which might leave
untagged clients unupdated.
Also, the 'circular vlan' logic (i.e. update only MAX_LP_BURST vlans at a
time, and save the last vlan for the next update) is really suboptimal - in
case of lots of vlans it will take a lot of time to update every vlan. It
is also never called in any hot path and sends only a few small packets -
thus the optimization by itself is useless.
So remove the whole current_alb_vlan/MAX_LP_BURST logic from
alb_send_learning_packets(). Instead, we'll first send a packet untagged
and then traverse the upper dev list, sending a tagged packet for each vlan
found. Also, remove the MAX_LP_BURST define - we already don't need it.

This patch does the initial bonding conversion to RCU. After it the
following modes are protected by RCU alone: roundrobin, active-backup,
broadcast and xor. Modes ALB/TLB and 3ad still acquire bond->lock for
reading, and will be dealt with later. curr_active_slave needs to be
dereferenced via rcu in the converted modes because the only thing
protecting the slave after this patch is rcu_read_lock, so we need the
proper barrier for weakly ordered archs and to make sure we don't have
stale pointer. It's not tagged with __rcu yet because there's still work
to be done to remove the curr_slave_lock, so sparse will complain when
rcu_assign_pointer and rcu_dereference are used, but the alternative to use
rcu_dereference_protected would've created much bigger code churn which is
more difficult to test and review. That will be converted in time.
1. Active-backup mode

- new bonding: 10 gbps (variable due to packet reorderings)
Of course the latency has improved in all converted modes, and moreover

slave_cnt have been replaced by the list_empty macro.

Bonding in balance-alb mode records information from ARP packets
passing through the bond in a hash table (rx_hashtbl).
At certain situations (e.g. link change of a slave),
rlb_update_rx_clients() will send out ARP packets to update ARP
caches of other hosts on the network to achieve RX load
balancing.
The problem is that once an IP address is recorded in the hash
table, it stays there indefinitely. If this IP address is
migrated to a different host in the network, bonding still sends
out ARP packets that poison other systems' ARP caches with
invalid information.
This patch solves this by looking at all incoming ARP packets,
and checking if the source IP address is one of the source
addresses stored in the rx_hashtbl. If it is, but the MAC
addresses differ, the corresponding hash table entries are
removed. Thus, when an IP address is migrated, the first ARP
broadcast by its new owner will purge the offending entries of
rx_hashtbl.
The hash table is hashed by ip_dst. To be able to do the above
check efficiently (not walking the whole hash table), we need a
reverse mapping (by ip_src).
I added three new members in struct rlb_client_info:
rx_hashtbl[x].src_first will point to the start of a list of
entries for which hash(ip_src) == x.
The list is linked with src_next and src_prev.
When an incoming ARP packet arrives at rlb_arp_recv()
rlb_purge_src_ip() can quickly walk only the entries on the
corresponding lists, i.e. the entries that are likely to contain
the offending IP address.
To avoid confusion, I renamed these existing fields of struct
rlb_client_info:
next -> used_next
prev -> used_prev
rx_hashtbl_head -> rx_hashtbl_used_head
(The current linked list is _not_ a list of hash table
entries with colliding ip_dst. It's a list of entries that are
being used; its purpose is to avoid walking the whole hash table
when looking for used entries.)

Do not modify or load balance ARP packets passing through balance-alb
mode (wherein the ARP did not originate locally, and arrived via a bridge).
Modifying pass-through ARP replies causes an incorrect MAC address
to be placed into the ARP packet, rendering peers unable to communicate
with the actual destination from which the ARP reply originated.
Load balancing pass-through ARP requests causes an entry to be
created for the peer in the rlb table, and bond_alb_monitor will
occasionally issue ARP updates to all peers in the table instrucing them
as to which MAC address they should communicate with; this occurs when
some event sets rx_ntt. In the bridged case, however, the MAC address
used for the update would be the MAC of the slave, not the actual source
MAC of the originating destination. This would render peers unable to
communicate with the destinations beyond the bridge.

bond_alb_init_slave() is called from bond_enslave() and sets the slave's MAC
address. This is done differently for TLB and ALB modes.
bond->alb_info.rlb_enabled is used to discriminate between the two modes but
this flag may be uninitialized if the slave is being enslaved prior to calling

It turns out all the callers of alb_set_slave_mac_addr() pass
bond->alb_info.rlb_enabled as the hw parameter.
This patch cleans up the unnecessary parameter of alb_set_slave_mac_addr() and
makes the function decide based on the bonding mode instead, which fixes the

This patch resolves two sets of race conditions.
Mitsuo Hayasaka <mitsuo.hayasaka.hu@hitachi.com> reported the
first, as follows:
The bond_close() calls cancel_delayed_work() to cancel delayed works.
It, however, cannot cancel works that were already queued in workqueue.
The bond_open() initializes work->data, and proccess_one_work() refers
get_work_cwq(work)->wq->flags. The get_work_cwq() returns NULL when
work->data has been initialized. Thus, a panic occurs.
He included a patch that converted the cancel_delayed_work calls
in bond_close to flush_delayed_work_sync, which eliminated the above
problem.
His patch is incorporated, at least in principle, into this
patch. In this patch, we use cancel_delayed_work_sync in place of
flush_delayed_work_sync, and also convert bond_uninit in addition to
bond_close.
This conversion to _sync, however, opens new races between
bond_close and three periodically executing workqueue functions:
bond_mii_monitor, bond_alb_monitor and bond_activebackup_arp_mon.
The race occurs because bond_close and bond_uninit are always
called with RTNL held, and these workqueue functions may acquire RTNL to
perform failover-related activities. If bond_close or bond_uninit is
waiting in cancel_delayed_work_sync, deadlock occurs.
These deadlocks are resolved by having the workqueue functions
acquire RTNL conditionally. If the rtnl_trylock() fails, the functions
reschedule and return immediately. For the cases that are attempting to
perform link failover, a delay of 1 is used; for the other cases, the
normal interval is used (as those activities are not as time critical).
Additionally, the bond_mii_monitor function now stores the delay
in a variable (mimicing the structure of activebackup_arp_mon).
Lastly, all of the above renders the kill_timers sentinel moot,
and therefore it has been removed.

During a test where a pair of bonding interfaces using ARP monitoring
were both brought up and torn down (with an rmmod) repeatedly, a panic
in the timer code was noticed. I tracked this down and determined that
any of the bonding functions that ran as workqueue handlers and requeued
more work might not properly exit when the module was removed.
There was a flag protected by the bond lock called kill_timers that is
set when the interface goes down or the module is removed, but many of
the functions that monitor link status now unlock the bond lock to take
rtnl first. There is a chance that another CPU running the rmmod could
get the lock and set kill_timers after the first check has passed.
This patch does not allow any function to queue work that will make
itself run unless kill_timers is not set. I also noticed while doing
this work that bond_resend_igmp_join_requests did not have a check for
kill_timers, so I added the needed call there as well.

It occurs because we are able to change the slave configuarion of a bond while
the bond interface is down. The bonding driver initializes some data structures
only after its ndo_open routine is called. Among them is the initalization of
the alb tx and rx hash locks. So if we add or remove a slave without first
opening the bond master device, we run the risk of trying to lock/unlock a
spinlock that has garbage for data in it, which results in our above softlock.
Note that sometimes this works, because in many cases an unlocked spinlock has
the raw_lock parameter initialized to zero (meaning that the kzalloc of the
net_device private data is equivalent to calling spin_lock_init), but thats not
true in all cases, and we aren't guaranteed that condition, so we need to pass
the relevant spinlocks through the spin_lock_init function.
Fix it by moving the spin_lock_init calls for the tx and rx hashtable locks to
the ndo_init path, so they are ready for use by the bond_store_slaves path.
Change notes:
v2) Based on conversation with Jay and Nicolas it seems that the ability to
enslave devices while the bond master is down should be safe to do. As such
this is an outlier bug, and so instead we'll just initalize the errant spinlocks
in the init path rather than the open path, solving the problem. We'll also
remove the warnings about the bond being down during enslave operations, since
it should be safe

It was recently brought to my attention that 802.3ad mode bonds would no
longer form when using some network hardware after a driver update.
After snooping around I realized that the particular hardware was using
page-based skbs and found that skb->data did not contain a valid LACPDU
as it was not stored there. That explained the inability to form an
802.3ad-based bond. For balance-alb mode bonds this was also an issue
as ARPs would not be properly processed.

bonding: Fix ALB mode to balance traffic on VLANs
the dev field in the RLB ARP packet handler was set to NULL to wildcard
and accommodate balancing VLANs on top of bonds.
This has the side-effect of the packet handler being called against
other, non RLB-enabled bonds, and a kernel oops results when it tries to
dereference rx_hashtbl in rlb_update_entry_from_arp(), which won't be
set for those bonds, e.g. active-backup.
With the __netif_receive_skb() changes from:
commit 1f3c8804ac
Author: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net>
Date: Mon Dec 14 10:48:58 2009 +0000
bonding: allow arp_ip_targets on separate vlans to use arp validation
frames received on VLANs correctly make their way to the bond's handler,
so we no longer need to wildcard the device.
The oops can be reproduced by:
modprobe bonding
echo active-backup > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
echo 100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon
ifconfig bond0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
echo +eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
echo +bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
echo balance-alb > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/mode
echo 100 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/miimon
ifconfig bond1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
echo +eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/slaves
echo +eth3 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/slaves
Pass some traffic on bond0. Boom.
[ Tested, behaves as advertised. I do not believe a test of the bonding
mode is necessary, as there is no race between the packet handler and
the bonding mode changing (the mode can only change when the device is
closed). Also updated the log message to include the reproduction and
full commit ids. -J ]

After commit ad1afb0039
("vlan_dev: VLAN 0 should be treated as "no vlan tag" (802.1p packet)")
it is now regular practice for a VLAN "add vid" for VLAN 0 to
arrive prior to any VLAN registration or creation of a vlan_group.
This patch updates the bonding code that tests for the presence
of VLANs configured above bonding. The new logic tests for bond->vlgrp
to determine if a registration has occured, instead of testing that
bonding's internal vlan_list is empty.
The old code would panic when vlan_list was not empty, but
vlgrp was still NULL (because only an "add vid" for VLAN 0 had occured).
Bonding still adds VLAN 0 to its internal list so that 802.1p
frames are handled correctly on transmit when non-VLAN accelerated
slaves are members of the bond. The test against bond->vlan_list
remains in bond_dev_queue_xmit for this reason.
Modification to the bond->vlgrp now occurs under lock (in
addition to RTNL), because not all inspections of it occur under RTNL.
Additionally, because 8021q will never issue a "kill vid" for
VLAN 0, there is now logic in bond_uninit to release any remaining
entries from vlan_list.

When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load
balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless
ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems.
What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track
of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the
receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated
when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client
entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced
later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs
and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies
updating this specific client. The same process happens on
the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp
replies.
See more information including the relevant functions below:

<--------- ARP reply
+->rlb_arp_recv <---------------------+ <--- loop begins
| rlb_update_entry_from_arp |

| client_info->ntt = 1;
| bond_info->rx_ntt = 1;
| < snipped, same as in system 1>
+------- <-------------- send ARP reply
<-------------- send ARP reply
Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks
a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP
address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply
poisoning the network.
This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC
address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't
change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later.

In the worst case, when the first loop breaks an the end of the slave list,
the slave list is iterated through twice. This patch reduces this
function only to one loop. Also makes it simpler.

This patch converts the remaining occurences of raw return values to their
symbolic counterparts in ndo_start_xmit() functions that were missed by the
previous automatic conversion.
Additionally code that assumed the symbolic value of NETDEV_TX_OK to be zero
is changed to explicitly use NETDEV_TX_OK.
