2011-03-23bonding: fix rx_handler lockingJiri Pirko
This prevents possible race between bond_enslave and bond_handle_frame as reported by Nicolas by moving rx_handler register/unregister. slave->bond is added to hold pointer to master bonding sructure. That way dev->master is no longer used in bond_handler_frame. Also, this removes "BUG: scheduling while atomic" message Reported-by: Nicolas de Pesloüan <nicolas.2p.debian@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Tested-by: Nicolas de Pesloüan <nicolas.2p.debian@free.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-03-16bonding: enable netpoll without checking link statusAndy Gospodarek
Only slaves that are up should transmit netpoll frames, so there is no need to check to see if a slave is up before enabling netpoll on it. This resolves a reported failure on active-backup bonds where a slave interface is down when netpoll was enabled.

2011-03-16bonding: Improve syslog message at device creation timePhil Oester
When the bonding module is loaded, it creates bond0 by default. Then, when attempting to create bond0, the following messages are printed to syslog: kernel: bonding: bond0 is being created... kernel: bonding: Bond creation failed. Which seems to indicate a problem, when in reality there is no problem. Since the actual error code is passed down from bond_create, make use of it to print a bit less ominous message: kernel: bonding: bond0 is being created... kernel: bond0 already exists.

2011-03-16bonding: Call netif_carrier_off after register_netdevicePhil Oester
Bringing up a bond interface with all network cables disconnected does not properly set the interface as DOWN because the call to netif_carrier_off occurs too early in bond_init. The call needs to occur after register_netdevice has set dev->reg_state to NETREG_REGISTERED, so that netif_carrier_off will trigger the call to linkwatch_fire_event.

2011-03-16bonding: Incorrect TX queue offsetPhil Oester
When packets come in from a device with >= 16 receive queues headed out a bonding interface, syslog gets filled with this: kernel: bond0 selects TX queue 16, but real number of TX queues is 16 because queue_mapping is offset by 1. Adjust return value to account for the offset. This is a revision of my earlier patch (which did not use the skb_rx_queue_* helpers - thanks to Ben for the suggestion). Andy submitted a similar patch which emits a pr_warning on invalid queue selection, but I believe the log spew is not useful. We can revisit that question in the future, but in the interim I believe fixing the core problem is worthwhile.

Changes since v1: * Clarify an unclear comment * Move a (possible) name change to a separate patch The ad_rx_machine, ad_periodic_machine and ad_port_selection_logic functions all inspect and alter common fields within the port structure. Previous to this patch, only the ad_rx_machines were mutexed, and the periodic and port_selection could run unmutexed against an ad_rx_machine trigged by an arriving LACPDU. This patch remedies the situation by protecting all the state machines from concurrency. This is accomplished by locking around all the state machines for a given port, which are executed at regular intervals; and the ad_rx_machine when handling an incoming LACPDU.

2010-12-16bonding/vlan: Fix mangled NAs on slaves without VLAN tag insertionBen Hutchings
bond_na_send() attempts to insert a VLAN tag in between building and sending packets of the respective formats. If the slave does not implement hardware VLAN tag insertion then vlan_put_tag() will mangle the network-layer header because the Ethernet header is not present at this point (unlike in bond_arp_send()).

2010-12-16bonding/vlan: Remove redundant VLAN tag insertion logicBen Hutchings
A bond may have a mixture of slave devices with and without hardware VLAN tag insertion capability. Therefore it always claims this capability and performs software VLAN tag insertion if the slave does not. Since commit 7b9c60903714bf0a19d746b228864bad3497284e, this has also been done by dev_hard_start_xmit().

2010-12-10net: Convert netpoll blocking api in bonding driver to be a counterNeil Horman
A while back I made some changes to enable netpoll in the bonding driver. Among them was a per-cpu flag that indicated we were in a path that held locks which could cause the netpoll path to block in during tx, and as such the tx path should queue the frame for later use. This appears to have given rise to a regression. If one of those paths on which we hold the per-cpu flag yields the cpu, its possible for us to come back on a different cpu, leading to us clearing a different flag than we set. This results in odd netpoll drops, and BUG backtraces appearing in the log, as we check to make sure that we only clear set bits, and only set clear bits. I had though briefly about changing the offending paths so that they wouldn't sleep, but looking at my origional work more closely, it doesn't appear that a per-cpu flag is warranted. We alrady gate the checking of this flag on IFF_IN_NETPOLL, so we don't hit this in the normal tx case anyway. And practically speaking, the normal use case for netpoll is to only have one client anyway, so we're not going to erroneously queue netpoll frames when its actually safe to do so. As such, lets just convert that per-cpu flag to an atomic counter. It fixes the rescheduling bugs, is equivalent from a performance perspective and actually eliminates some code in the process.

2010-11-18bonding: IGMP handling cleanupEric Dumazet
Instead of iterating in_dev->mc_list from bonding driver, its better to call a helper function provided by igmp.c Details of implementation (locking) are private to igmp code. ip_mc_rejoin_group(struct ip_mc_list *im) becomes ip_mc_rejoin_groups(struct in_device *in_dev); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-11-18bonding: fix a race in IGMP handlingEric Dumazet
RCU conversion in IGMP code done in net-next-2.6 raised a race in __bond_resend_igmp_join_requests(). It iterates in_dev->mc_list without appropriate protection (RTNL, or read_lock on in_dev->mc_list_lock). Another cpu might delete an entry while we use it and trigger a fault.
