<id>urn:sha1:1899bb325149e481de31a4f32b59ea6f24e176ea</id>
<content type='text'>
Since de77ecd4ef02 ("bonding: improve link-status update in
mii-monitoring"), the bonding driver has utilized two separate variables
to indicate the next link state a particular slave should transition to.
Each is used to communicate to a different portion of the link state
change commit logic; one to the bond_miimon_commit function itself, and
another to the state transition logic.

	Unfortunately, the two variables can become unsynchronized,
resulting in incorrect link state transitions within bonding.  This can
cause slaves to become stuck in an incorrect link state until a
subsequent carrier state transition.

	The issue occurs when a special case in bond_slave_netdev_event
sets slave-&gt;link directly to BOND_LINK_FAIL.  On the next pass through
bond_miimon_inspect after the slave goes carrier up, the BOND_LINK_FAIL
case will set the proposed next state (link_new_state) to BOND_LINK_UP,
but the new_link to BOND_LINK_DOWN.  The setting of the final link state
from new_link comes after that from link_new_state, and so the slave
will end up incorrectly in _DOWN state.

	Resolve this by combining the two variables into one.

<title>net: remove unnecessary variables and callback</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f3b0a18bb6cb07a9abb75e21b1f08eeaefa78e81</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes variables and callback these are related to the nested
device structure.
devices that can be nested have their own nest_level variable that
represents the depth of nested devices.
In the previous patch, new {lower/upper}_level variables are added and
they replace old private nest_level variable.
So, this patch removes all 'nest_level' variables.

In order to avoid lockdep warning, -&gt;ndo_get_lock_subclass() was added
to get lockdep subclass value, which is actually lower nested depth value.
But now, they use the dynamic lockdep key to avoid lockdep warning instead
of the subclass.
So, this patch removes -&gt;ndo_get_lock_subclass() callback.

<title>bonding: use dynamic lockdep key instead of subclass</title>

<id>urn:sha1:089bca2caed0d0dea7da235ce1fe245808f5ec02</id>
<content type='text'>
All bonding device has same lockdep key and subclass is initialized with
nest_level.
But actual nest_level value can be changed when a lower device is attached.
And at this moment, the subclass should be updated but it seems to be
unsafe.
So this patch makes bonding use dynamic lockdep key instead of the
subclass.

Test commands:
    ip link add bond0 type bond

    for i in {1..5}
    do
	    let A=$i-1
	    ip link add bond$i type bond
	    ip link set bond$i master bond$A
    done
    ip link set bond5 master bond0

Splat looks like:

<title>bonding: add an option to specify a delay between peer notifications</title>
<updated>2019-07-04T19:30:48+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Vincent Bernat</name>
<email>vincent@bernat.ch</email>
</author>
<published>2019-07-02T17:43:54+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=07a4ddec3ce9b0a533b5f90f582f1057390d5e63'/>
<id>urn:sha1:07a4ddec3ce9b0a533b5f90f582f1057390d5e63</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, gratuitous ARP/ND packets are sent every `miimon'
milliseconds. This commit allows a user to specify a custom delay
through a new option, `peer_notif_delay'.

Like for `updelay' and `downdelay', this delay should be a multiple of
`miimon' to avoid managing an additional work queue. The configuration
logic is copied from `updelay' and `downdelay'. However, the default
value cannot be set using a module parameter: Netlink or sysfs should
be used to configure this feature.

When setting `miimon' to 100 and `peer_notif_delay' to 500, we can
observe the 500 ms delay is respected:

    20:30:19.354693 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:19.874892 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:20.394919 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:20.914963 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28

In bond_mii_monitor(), I have tried to keep the lock logic readable.
The change is due to the fact we cannot rely on a notification to
lower the value of `bond-&gt;send_peer_notif' as `NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS' is
only triggered once every N times, while we need to decrement the
counter each time.

iproute2 also needs to be updated to be able to specify this new
attribute through `ip link'.

Where possible, we generally want both the bond master and the relevant slave
information in message output. Standardize the format using new slave_*
printk macros.

<title>net: Add lag.h, net_lag_port_dev_txable()</title>

<content type='text'>
LAG devices (team or bond) recognize for each one of their slave devices
whether LAG traffic is going to be sent through that device. Bond calls
such devices "active", team calls them "txable". When this state
changes, a NETDEV_CHANGELOWERSTATE notification is distributed, together
with a netdev_notifier_changelowerstate_info structure that for LAG
devices includes a tx_enabled flag that refers to the new state. The
notification thus makes it possible to react to the changes in txability
in drivers.

However there's no way to query txability from the outside on demand.
That is problematic namely for mlxsw, which when resolving ERSPAN packet
path, may encounter a LAG device, and needs to determine which of the
slaves it should choose.

To that end, introduce a new function, net_lag_port_dev_txable(), which
determines whether a given slave device is "active" or
"txable" (depending on the flavor of the LAG device). That function then
dispatches to per-LAG-flavor helpers, bond_is_active_slave_dev() resp.
team_port_dev_txable().

Because there currently is no good place where net_lag_port_dev_txable()
should be added, introduce a new header file, lag.h, which should from
now on hold any logic common to both team and bond. (But keep
netif_is_lag_master() together with the rest of netif_is_*_master()
functions).

<title>bonding: allow use of tx hashing in balance-alb</title>

The rx load balancing provided by balance-alb is not mutually
exclusive with using hashing for tx selection, and should provide a decent
speed increase because this eliminates spinlocks and cache contention.

<title>bonding: send learning packets for vlans on slave</title>

<id>urn:sha1:21706ee8a47d3ede7fdae0be6d7c0a0e31a83229</id>
<content type='text'>
There was a regression at some point from the intended functionality of
commit f60c3704e87d ("bonding: Fix alb mode to only use first level
vlans.")

Given the return value vlan_get_encap_level() we need to store the nest
level of the bond device, and then compare the vlan's encap level to
this. Without this, this check always fails and learning packets are
never sent.

In addition, this same commit caused a regression in the behavior of
balance_alb, which requires learning packets be sent for all interfaces
using the slave's mac in order to load balance properly. For vlan's
that have not set a user mac, we can send after checking one bit.
Otherwise we need send the set mac, albeit defeating rx load balancing
for that vlan.

<title>bonding: remove rtmsg_ifinfo called after bond_lower_state_changed</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ef5201c83d1400570a3b6f004ad7a23d71934411</id>
<content type='text'>
After the patch 'rtnetlink: bring NETDEV_CHANGELOWERSTATE event
process back to rtnetlink_event', bond_lower_state_changed would
generate NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event which would send a notification
to userspace in rtnetlink_event.

There's no need to call rtmsg_ifinfo to send the notification
any more. So this patch is to remove it from these places after
bond_lower_state_changed.

Besides, after this, rtmsg_ifinfo is not needed to be exported.
