[ Upstream commit fe30937b65354c7fec244caebbdaae68e28ca797 ]

bond_get_stats() can be called from rtnetlink (with RTNL held)
or from /proc/net/dev seq handler (with RCU held)

The logic added in commit 5f0c5f73e5ef ("bonding: make global bonding
stats more reliable") kind of assumed only one cpu could run there.

If multiple threads are reading /proc/net/dev, stats can be really
messed up after a while.

A second problem is that some fields are 32bit, so we need to properly
handle the wrap around problem.

Given that RTNL is not always held, we need to use
bond_for_each_slave_rcu().

<id>urn:sha1:07cc96fb15fecbd7f17c1d49eafcf127d3f5709f</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 21a75f0915dde8674708b39abfcda113911c49b1 ]

The current logic in bond_arp_rcv will accept an incoming ARP for
validation if (a) the receiving slave is either "active" (which includes
the currently active slave, or the current ARP slave) or, (b) there is a
currently active slave, and it has received an ARP since it became active.
For case (b), the receiving slave isn't the currently active slave, and is
receiving the original broadcast ARP request, not an ARP reply from the
target.

	This logic can fail if there is no currently active slave.  In
this situation, the ARP probe logic cycles through all slaves, assigning
each in turn as the "current_arp_slave" for one arp_interval, then setting
that one as "active," and sending an ARP probe from that slave.  The
current logic expects the ARP reply to arrive on the sending
current_arp_slave, however, due to switch FDB updating delays, the reply
may be directed to another slave.

	This can arise if the bonding slaves and switch are working, but
the ARP target is not responding.  When the ARP target recovers, a
condition may result wherein the ARP target host replies faster than the
switch can update its forwarding table, causing each ARP reply to be sent
to the previous current_arp_slave.  This will never pass the logic in
bond_arp_rcv, as neither of the above conditions (a) or (b) are met.

	Some experimentation on a LAN shows ARP reply round trips in the
200 usec range, but my available switches never update their FDB in less
than 4000 usec.

	This patch changes the logic in bond_arp_rcv to additionally
accept an ARP reply for validation on any slave if there is a current ARP
slave and it sent an ARP probe during the previous arp_interval.

[ Upstream commit 03d84a5f83a67e692af00a3d3901e7820e3e84d5 ]

Commit 1f718f0f4f97 ("bonding: populate neighbour's private on enslave")
undoes the fix provided by commit c2edacf80e15 ("bonding / ipv6: no addrconf
for slaves separately from master") by effectively setting the slave flag
after the slave has been opened.  If the slave comes up quickly enough, it
will go through the IPv6 addrconf before the slave flag has been set and
will get a link local IPv6 address.

In order to ensure that addrconf knows to ignore the slave devices on state
change, set IFF_SLAVE before dev_open() during bonding enslavement.

<title>bonding: fix panic on non-ARPHRD_ETHER enslave failure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:40baec225765c54eefa870530dd613bad9829bb7</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 7d5cd2ce529b, when bond_enslave fails on devices that
are not ARPHRD_ETHER, if needed, it resets the bonding device back to
ARPHRD_ETHER by calling ether_setup.

	Unfortunately, ether_setup clobbers dev-&gt;flags, clearing IFF_UP
if the bond device is up, leaving it in a quasi-down state without
having actually gone through dev_close.  For bonding, if any periodic
work queue items are active (miimon, arp_interval, etc), those will
remain running, as they are stopped by bond_close.  At this point, if
the bonding module is unloaded or the bond is deleted, the system will
panic when the work function is called.

	This panic is resolved by calling dev_close on the bond itself
prior to calling ether_setup.

Old logic of updating state-machine is not required since
ad_update_actor_keys() does it implicitly. The only loss is
the notification differentiation between speed vs. duplex
change. Now only one unified notification is printed.

actor_admin, and actor_oper key is changed at multiple locations in
the code. This patch brings all those updates into one location in
an attempt to avoid possible inconsistent updates causing LACP state
machine to go in weird state.

The unified place is ad_update_actor_key() with simple state-machine
logic -
  (a) If port is "duplex" then only it can participate in LACP
  (b) Speed change reinitializes the LACP state-machine.

<content type='text'>
If using a sixtofour device on top of a bonding device,
skb segmentation of TCP traffic is done right before calling
bonding xmit, because bonding only enables TSO for IPv4.

This patch improves single flow performance by about 120 % on my hosts,
because segmentation is deferred right before calling slave xmit.

If skb carries a l4 hash, no need to perform a flow dissection.

Performance is slightly better :

lpaa5:~# ./super_netperf 200 -H lpaa6 -t TCP_RR -l 100

Pull inifiniband/rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is a fairly sizeable set of changes.  I've put them through a
  decent amount of testing prior to sending the pull request due to
  that.

  There are still a few fixups that I know are coming, but I wanted to
  go ahead and get the big, sizable chunk into your hands sooner rather
  than waiting for those last few fixups.

  Of note is the fact that this creates what is intended to be a
  temporary area in the drivers/staging tree specifically for some
  cleanups and additions that are coming for the RDMA stack.  We
  deprecated two drivers (ipath and amso1100) and are waiting to hear
  back if we can deprecate another one (ehca).  We also put Intel's new
  hfi1 driver into this area because it needs to be refactored and a
  transfer library created out of the factored out code, and then it and
  the qib driver and the soft-roce driver should all be modified to use
  that library.

  I expect drivers/staging/rdma to be around for three or four kernel
  releases and then to go away as all of the work is completed and final
  deletions of deprecated drivers are done.

  Summary of changes for 4.3:

   - Create drivers/staging/rdma
   - Move amso1100 driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Move ipath driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion
   - Add hfi1 driver to staging/rdma and set TODO for move to regular
     tree
   - Initial support for namespaces to be used on RDMA devices
   - Add RoCE GID table handling to the RDMA core caching code
   - Infrastructure to support handling of devices with differing read
     and write scatter gather capabilities
   - Various iSER updates
   - Kill off unsafe usage of global mr registrations
   - Update SRP driver
   - Misc  mlx4 driver updates
   - Support for the mr_alloc verb
   - Support for a netlink interface between kernel and user space cache
     daemon to speed path record queries and route resolution
   - Ininitial support for safe hot removal of verbs devices"
