bonding: fix a race condition in calls to slave MII ioctls

2009-10-29T05:23:54+00:00

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 Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bonding: Modify hash transmit policies to use the packet's source MAC address

2009-10-24T14:02:28+00:00

Modify bonding hash transmit policies to use the psource MAC address of the packet instead of the MAC address configured for the bonding device. The old sitation conflicts with the documentation.

headers: remove sched.h from interrupt.h

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

bonding: set primary param via sysfs

2009-10-01T21:34:29+00:00

Primary module parameter passed to bonding is pernament. That means if you release the primary slave and enslave it again, it becomes the primary slave again. But if you set primary slave via sysfs, the primary slave is only set once and it's not remembered in bond->params structure. Therefore the setting is lost after releasing the primary slave. This simple one-liner fixes this. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bonding: make ab_arp select active slaves as other modes

2009-09-17T00:04:58+00:00

When I was implementing primary_passive option (formely named primary_lazy) I've run into troubles with ab_arp. This is the only mode which is not using bond_select_active_slave() function to select active slave and instead it selects it itself. This seems to be not the right behaviour and it would be better to do it in bond_select_active_slave() for all cases. This patch makes this happen. Please review.

bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()

2009-09-15T09:37:40+00:00

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.

bonding: use compare_ether_addr_64bits() in ALB

2009-09-02T00:40:26+00:00

We can speedup ether addresses compares using compare_ether_addr_64bits() instead of memcmp(). We make sure all operands are at least 8 bytes long and 16bits aligned (or better, long word aligned if possible) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
