2010-05-06bonding: make bonding support netpollWANG Cong
Based on Andy's work, but I modified a lot. Similar to the patch for bridge, this patch does: 1) implement the 2 methods to support netpoll for bonding; 2) modify netpoll during forwarding packets via bonding; 3) disable netpoll support of bonding when a netpoll-unabled device is added to bonding; 4) enable netpoll support when all underlying devices support netpoll.

2010-04-02bonding: fix potential deadlock in bond_uninit()Amerigo Wang
bond_uninit() is invoked with rtnl_lock held, when it does destroy_workqueue() which will potentially flush all works in this workqueue, if we hold rtnl_lock again in the work function, it will deadlock. So move destroy_workqueue() to destructor where rtnl_lock is not held any more, suggested by Eric. Signed-off-by: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

2010-03-27bonding: fix broken multicast with round-robin modeAndy Gospodarek
Round-robin (mode 0) does nothing to ensure that any multicast traffic originally destined for the host will continue to arrive at the host when the link that sent the IGMP join or membership report goes down. One of the benefits of absolute round-robin transmit. Keeping track of subscribed multicast groups for each slave did not seem like a good use of resources, so I decided to simply send on the curr_active slave of the bond (typically the first enslaved device that is up). This makes failover management simple as IGMP membership reports only need to be sent when the curr_active_slave changes. I tested this patch and it appears to work as expected.

2010-03-08driver-core: Add attribute argument to class_attribute show/storeAndi Kleen
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring an own function for every piece of data. Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields and use that in the low level function. This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes and plain attributes.

2009-11-16bonding: fix 802.3ad standards compliance errorJay Vosburgh
The language of 802.3ad 43.4.9 requires the "recordPDU" function to, in part, compare the Partner parameter values in a received LACPDU to the stored Actor values. If those match, then the Partner's synchronization state is set to true. The current 802.3ad implementation is performing these steps out of order; first, the synchronization check is done, then the paramters are checked to see if they match (the synch check being done against a match check of a prior LACPDU). This causes delays in establishing aggregators in some circumstances. This patch modifies the 802.3ad code to call __choose_matched, the function that does the "match" comparisions, as the first step of __record_pdu, instead of immediately afterwards. This new behavior is in compliance with the language of the standard. Some additional commentary relating to code vs. standard is also added. Reported by Martin Patterson <martin@gear6.com> who also supplied the logic of the fix and verified the patch. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-10-29bonding: fix a race condition in calls to slave MII ioctlsJiri Bohac
In mii monitor mode, bond_check_dev_link() calls the the ioctl handler of slave devices. It stores the ndo_do_ioctl function pointer to a static (!) ioctl variable and later uses it to call the handler with the IOCTL macro. If another thread executes bond_check_dev_link() at the same time (even with a different bond, which none of the locks prevent), a race condition occurs. If the two racing slaves have different drivers, this may result in one driver's ioctl handler being called with a pointer to a net_device controlled with a different driver, resulting in unpredictable breakage. Unless I am overlooking something, the "static" must be a copy'n'paste error (?). Signed-off-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-09-15bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()Moni Shoua
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6a6d0f59803b3ef04ff3c22c3844c10. The approach there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses. This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks: *. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat) and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. *. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing table, which might be unnecessary. The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.
