2013-09-26Merge branch 'bonding_neighbours'David S. Miller
bonding: use neighbours instead of own lists Veaceslav Falico says: ==================== This patchset introduces all the needed infrastructure, on top of current adjacent lists, to be able to remove bond's slave_list/slave->list. The overhead in memory/CPU is minimal, and after the patchset bonding can rely on its slave-related functions, given the proper locking. I've done some netperf benchmarks on a vm, and the delta was about 0.1gbps for 35gbps as a whole, so no speed fluctuations. It also automatically creates lower/upper and master symlinks in dev's sysfs directory. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-09-26net: create sysfs symlinks for neighbour devicesVeaceslav Falico
Also, remove the same functionality from bonding - it will be already done for any device that links to its lower/upper neighbour. The links will be created for dev's kobject, and will look like lower_eth0 for lower device eth0 and upper_bridge0 for upper device bridge0.

2013-09-26net: expose the master link to sysfs, and remove it from bondVeaceslav Falico
Currently, we can have only one master upper neighbour, so it would be useful to create a symlink to it in the sysfs device directory, the way that bonding now does it, for every device. Lower devices from bridge/team/etc will automagically get it, so we could rely on it. Also, remove the same functionality from bonding.

2013-09-26vlan: unlink the upper neighbour before unregisteringVeaceslav Falico
On netdev unregister we're removing also all of its sysfs-associated stuff, including the sysfs symlinks that are controlled by netdev neighbour code. Also, it's a subtle race condition - cause we can still access it after unregistering. Move the unlinking right before the unregistering to fix both.

2013-09-26vlan: link the upper neighbour only after registeringVeaceslav Falico
Otherwise users might access it without being fully registered, as per sysfs - it only inits in register_netdevice(), so is unusable till it is called.

2013-09-26bonding: rework bond_ab_arp_probe() to use bond_for_each_slave()Veaceslav Falico
Currently it uses the hard-to-rcuify bond_for_each_slave_from(), and also it doesn't check every slave for disrepencies between the actual IS_UP(slave) and the slave->link == BOND_LINK_UP, but only till we find the next suitable slave. Fix this by using bond_for_each_slave() and storing the first good slave in *before till we find the current_arp_slave, after that we store the first good slave in new_slave. If new_slave is empty - use the slave stored in before, and if it's also empty - then we didn't find any suitable slave. Also, in the meanwhile, check for each slave status.

2013-09-26bonding: rework bond_find_best_slave() to use bond_for_each_slave()Veaceslav Falico
bond_find_best_slave() does not have to be balanced - i.e. return the slave that is *after* some other slave, but rather return the best slave that suits, except of bond->primary_slave - in which case we just return it if it's suitable. After that we just look through all the slaves and return either first up slave or the slave whose link came back earliest. We also don't care about curr_active_slave lock cause we use it in bond_should_change_active() only and there we take it right away - i.e. it won't go away.

2013-09-26bonding: rework rlb_next_rx_slave() to use bond_for_each_slave()Veaceslav Falico
Currently, we're using bond_for_each_slave_from(), which is really hard to implement under RCU and/or neighbour list. Remove it and use bond_for_each_slave() instead, taking care of the last used slave. Also, rename next_rx_slave to rx_slave and store the current (last) rx_slave.

2013-09-26bonding: rework bond_3ad_xmit_xor() to use bond_for_each_slave() onlyVeaceslav Falico
Currently, there are two loops - first we find the first slave in an aggregator after the xmit_hash_policy() returned number, and after that we loop from that slave, over bonding head, and till that slave to find any suitable slave to send the packet through. Replace it by just one bond_for_each_slave() loop, which first loops through the requested number of slaves, saving the first suitable one, and after that we've hit the requested number of slaves to skip - search for any up slave to send the packet through. If we don't find such kind of slave - then just send the packet through the first suitable slave found. Logic remains unchainged, and we skip two loops. Also, refactor it a bit for readability.

2013-09-26net: add netdev_adjacent->private and allow to use itVeaceslav Falico
Currently, even though we can access any linked device, we can't attach anything to it, which is vital to properly manage them. To fix this, add a new void *private to netdev_adjacent and functions setting/getting it (per link), so that we can save, per example, bonding's slave structures there, per slave device. netdev_master_upper_dev_link_private(dev, upper_dev, private) links dev to upper dev and populates the neighbour link only with private. netdev_lower_dev_get_private{,_rcu}() returns the private, if found.

2013-09-26net: add adj_list to save only neighboursVeaceslav Falico
Currently, we distinguish neighbours (first-level linked devices) from non-neighbours by the neighbour bool in the netdev_adjacent. This could be quite time-consuming in case we would like to traverse *only* through neighbours - cause we'd have to traverse through all devices and check for this flag, and in a (quite common) scenario where we have lots of vlans on top of bridge, which is on top of a bond - the bonding would have to go through all those vlans to get its upper neighbour linked devices. This situation is really unpleasant, cause there are already a lot of cases when a device with slaves needs to go through them in hot path. To fix this, introduce a new upper/lower device lists structure - adj_list, which contains only the neighbours. It works always in pair with the all_adj_list structure (renamed from upper/lower_dev_list), i.e. both of them contain the same links, only that all_adj_list contains also non-neighbour device links. It's really a small change visible, currently, only for __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert/remove(), and doesn't change the main linked logic at all. Also, add some comments a fix a name collision in netdev_for_each_upper_dev_rcu() and rework the naming by the following rules: netdev_(all_)(upper|lower)_* If "all_" is present, then we work with the whole list of upper/lower devices, otherwise - only with direct neighbours. Uninline functions - to get better stack traces. CC: "David S.

2013-09-26net: use lists as arguments instead of bool upperVeaceslav Falico
Currently we make use of bool upper when we want to specify if we want to work with upper/lower list. It's, however, harder to read, debug and occupies a lot more code. Fix this by just passing the correct upper/lower_dev_list list_head pointer instead of bool upper, and work internally with it. CC: "David S.

2013-09-26net: neighbour: use source address of last enqueued packet for solicitationHannes Frederic Sowa
Currently we always use the first member of the arp_queue to determine the sender ip address of the arp packet (or in case of IPv6 - source address of the ndisc packet). This skb is fixed as long as the queue is not drained by a complete purge because of a timeout or by a successful response. If the first packet enqueued on the arp_queue is from a local application with a manually set source address and the to be discovered system does some kind of uRPF checks on the source address in the arp packet the resolving process hangs until a timeout and restarts. This hurts communication with the participating network node. This could be mitigated a bit if we use the latest enqueued skb's source address for the resolving process, which is not as static as the arp_queue's head. This change of the source address could result in better recovery of a failed solicitation. Cc: "David S.
