bonding: fix slave stuck in BOND_LINK_FAIL state

2017-11-08T07:07:10+00:00

The bonding miimon logic has a flaw, in that a failure of the rtnl_trylock can cause a slave to become permanently stuck in BOND_LINK_FAIL state. The sequence of events to cause this is as follows: 1) bond_miimon_inspect finds that a slave's link is down, and so calls bond_propose_link_state, setting slave->new_link_state to BOND_LINK_FAIL, then sets slave->new_link to BOND_LINK_DOWN and returns non-zero. 2) In bond_mii_monitor, the rtnl_trylock fails, and the timer is rescheduled. No change is committed. 3) bond_miimon_inspect is called again, but this time the slave from step 1 has recovered. slave->new_link is reset to NOCHANGE, and, as slave->link was never changed, the switch enters the BOND_LINK_UP case, and does nothing. The pending BOND_LINK_FAIL state from step 1 remains pending, as new_link_state is not reset. 4) The state from step 3 persists until another slave changes link state and causes bond_miimon_inspect to return non-zero. At this point, the BOND_LINK_FAIL state change on the slave from steps 1-3 is committed, and the slave will remain stuck in BOND_LINK_FAIL state even though it is actually link up. The remedy for this is to initialize new_link_state on each entry to bond_miimon_inspect, as is already done with new_link.

bonding: discard lowest hash bit for 802.3ad layer3+4

2017-11-08T02:28:43+00:00

After commit 07f4c90062f8 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()"), we will try to use even ports for connect(). Then if an application (seen clearly with iperf) opens multiple streams to the same destination IP and port, each stream will be given an even source port. So the bonding driver's simple xmit_hash_policy based on layer3+4 addressing will always hash all these streams to the same interface. And the total throughput will limited to a single slave. Change the tcp code will impact the whole tcp behavior, only for bonding usage. Paolo Abeni suggested fix this by changing the bonding code only, which should be more reasonable, and less impact. Fix this by discarding the lowest hash bit because it contains little entropy. After the fix we can re-balance between slaves.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: bonding: fix tlb_dynamic_lb default value

2017-09-13T03:58:12+00:00

Commit 8b426dc54cf4 ("bonding: remove hardcoded value") changed the default value for tlb_dynamic_lb which lead to either broken ALB mode (since tlb_dynamic_lb can be changed only in TLB) or setting TLB mode with tlb_dynamic_lb equal to 0. The first issue was recently fixed by setting tlb_dynamic_lb to 1 always when switching to ALB mode, but the default value is still wrong and we'll enter TLB mode with tlb_dynamic_lb equal to 0 if the mode is changed via netlink or sysfs. In order to restore the previous behaviour and default value simply remove the mode check around the default param initialization for tlb_dynamic_lb which will always set it to 1 as before.

net: bonding: Fix transmit load balancing in balance-alb mode if specified by sysfs

2017-09-11T21:25:16+00:00

Commit cbf5ecb30560 ("net: bonding: Fix transmit load balancing in balance-alb mode") tried to fix transmit dynamic load balancing in balance-alb mode, which wasn't working after commit 8b426dc54cf4 ("bonding: remove hardcoded value"). It turned out that my previous patch only fixed the case when balance-alb was specified as bonding module parameter, and not when balance-alb mode was set using /sys/class/net/*/bonding/mode (the most common usage). In the latter case, tlb_dynamic_lb was set up according to the default mode of the bonding interface, which happens to be balance-rr. This additional patch addresses this issue by setting up tlb_dynamic_lb to 1 if "mode" is set to balance-alb through the sysfs interface. I didn't add code to change tlb_balance_lb back to the default value for other modes, because "mode" is usually set up only once during initialization, and it's not worthwhile to change the static variable bonding_defaults in bond_main.c to a global variable just for this purpose. Commit 8b426dc54cf4 also changes the value of tlb_dynamic_lb for balance-tlb mode if it is set up using the sysfs interface. I didn't change that behavior, because the value of tlb_balance_lb can be changed using the sysfs interface for balance-tlb, and I didn't like changing the default value back and forth for balance-tlb. As for balance-alb, /sys/class/net/*/bonding/tlb_balance_lb cannot be written to. However, I think balance-alb with tlb_dynamic_lb set to 0 is not an intended usage, so there is little use making it writable at this moment.

bonding: ratelimit failed speed/duplex update warning

2017-08-14T03:01:38+00:00

bond_miimon_commit() handles the UP transition for each slave of a bond in the case of MII. It is triggered 10 times per second for the default MII Polling interval of 100ms. For device drivers that do not implement __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() the call to bond_update_speed_duplex() fails persistently while the MII status could remain UP. That is, in this and other cases where the speed/duplex update keeps failing over a longer period of time while the MII state is UP, a warning is printed every MII polling interval. To address these excessive warnings net_ratelimit() should be used. Printing a warning once would not be sufficient since the call to bond_update_speed_duplex() could recover to succeed and fail again later. In that case there would be no new indication what went wrong. Fixes: b5bf0f5b16b9c (bonding: correctly update link status during mii-commit phase) Signed-off-by: Andreas Born Signed-off-by: David S.

bonding: require speed/duplex only for 802.3ad, alb and tlb

2017-08-11T21:21:42+00:00

The patch c4adfc822bf5 ("bonding: make speed, duplex setting consistent with link state") puts the link state to down if bond_update_speed_duplex() cannot retrieve speed and duplex settings. Assumably the patch was written with 802.3ad mode in mind which relies on link speed/duplex settings. For other modes like active-backup these settings are not required. Thus, only for these other modes, this patch reintroduces support for slaves that do not support reporting speed or duplex such as wireless devices. This fixes the regression reported in bug 196547 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196547).
