<id>urn:sha1:a3b658cfb66497525278cbf852913a04dbaae992</id>
<content type='text'>
At the moment, bonding xfrm crypto offload can only be set up if the bonding
module is loaded with active-backup mode already set. We need to be able to
make this work with bonds set to AB after the bonding driver has already
been loaded.

So what's done here is:

1) move #define BOND_XFRM_FEATURES to net/bonding.h so it can be used
by both bond_main.c and bond_options.c
2) set BOND_XFRM_FEATURES in bond_dev-&gt;hw_features universally, rather than
only when loading in AB mode
3) wire up xfrmdev_ops universally too
4) disable BOND_XFRM_FEATURES in bond_dev-&gt;features if not AB
5) exit early (non-AB case) from bond_ipsec_offload_ok, to prevent a
performance hit from traversing into the underlying drivers
5) toggle BOND_XFRM_FEATURES in bond_dev-&gt;wanted_features and call
netdev_change_features() from bond_option_mode_set()

In my local testing, I can change bonding modes back and forth on the fly,
have hardware offload work when I'm in AB, and see no performance penalty
to non-AB software encryption, despite having xfrm bits all wired up for
all modes now.

<content type='text'>
Currently, this support is limited to active-backup mode, as I'm not sure
about the feasilibity of mapping an xfrm_state's offload handle to
multiple hardware devices simultaneously, and we rely on being able to
pass some hints to both the xfrm and NIC driver about whether or not
they're operating on a slave device.

I've tested this atop an Intel x520 device (ixgbe) using libreswan in
transport mode, succesfully achieving ~4.3Gbps throughput with netperf
(more or less identical to throughput on a bare NIC in this system),
as well as successful failover and recovery mid-netperf.

v2: just use CONFIG_XFRM_OFFLOAD for wrapping, isolate more code with it

<content type='text'>
This merge includes updates to bonding driver needed for the rdma stack,
to avoid conflicts with the RDMA branch.

Maor Gottlieb Says:

====================
Bonding: Add support to get xmit slave

The following series adds support to get the LAG master xmit slave by
introducing new .ndo - ndo_get_xmit_slave. Every LAG module can
implement it and it first implemented in the bond driver.
This is follow-up to the RFC discussion [1].

The main motivation for doing this is for drivers that offload part
of the LAG functionality. For example, Mellanox Connect-X hardware
implements RoCE LAG which selects the TX affinity when the resources
are created and port is remapped when it goes down.

The first part of this patchset introduces the new .ndo and add the
support to the bonding module.

The second part adds support to get the RoCE LAG xmit slave by building
skb of the RoCE packet based on the AH attributes and call to the new
.ndo.

The third part change the mlx5 driver driver to set the QP's affinity
port according to the slave which found by the .ndo.

Currently, bonding always returns NETDEV_TX_OK to its caller.

It is worth trying to be more accurate : TCP for instance
can have different recovery strategies if it can have more
precise status, if packet was dropped by slave qdisc.

This is especially important when host is under stress.

netpoll_send_skb() callers seem to leak skb if
the np pointer is NULL. While this should not happen, we
can make the code more robust.

<content type='text'>
After commit b3e80d44f5b1
("bonding: fix lockdep warning in bond_get_stats()") the dynamic
key is no longer necessary, as we compute nest level at run-time.
So, we can just remove it to save some lockdep key entries.

Test commands:
 ip link add bond0 type bond
 ip link add bond1 type bond
 ip link set bond0 master bond1
 ip link set bond0 nomaster
 ip link set bond1 master bond0

<content type='text'>
Keep all slaves in array so it could be used to get the xmit slave
assume all the slaves are active.
The logic to add slave to the array is like the usable slaves, except
that we also add slaves that currently can't transmit - not up or active.

<title>bonding: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member</title>

<id>urn:sha1:749db093040788ff474937d2452d4cf0176b5a1f</id>
<content type='text'>
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:

"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

<title>bonding: fix state transition issue in link monitoring</title>

<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.
