655f8919d5 bonding: add min links parameter to 802.3ad
This adds support for a configuring the minimum number of links that
must be active before asserting carrier. It is similar to the Cisco
EtherChannel min-links feature. This allows setting the minimum number
of member ports that must be up (link-up state) before marking the
bond device as up (carrier on). This is useful for situations where
higher level services such as clustering want to ensure a minimum
number of low bandwidth links are active before switchover.

830a9c7551 bonding: clean up bond_del_vlan()
1) the setting of NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED in bond_del_vlan() is
useless since commit b2a103e6 because bond_fix_features() now
sets NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED whenever the last slave is being
removed.

2) the code never triggers anyway as vlan_list is never empty
since ad1afb00.

56d00c677d bonding:delete lacp_fast from ad_bond_info
These is also a bug, that if you modify lacp_rate via sysfs,
and add new slaves in bonding, new slaves won't use the latest lacp_rate,
since ad_bond_info->lacp_fast is initialized only once,
in bond_3ad_initialize().

Since both struct bond_params and ad_bond_info have lacp_fast,
they are duplicate and need extra synchronization.

bond_3ad_bind_slave() can use bond_params->lacp_fast to initialize port.
So we can just remove lacp_fast from struct ad_bond_info.

374eeb5a9d bonding: reset queue mapping prior to transmission to physical device (v5)
The bonding driver is multiqueue enabled, in which each queue represents a slave
to enable optional steering of output frames to given slaves against the default
output policy.  However, it needs to reset the skb->queue_mapping prior to
queuing to the physical device or the physical slave (if it is multiqueue) could
wind up transmitting on an unintended tx queue

Change Notes:
v2) Based on first pass review, updated the patch to restore the origional queue
mapping that was found in bond_select_queue, rather than simply resetting to
zero.  This preserves the value of queue_mapping when it was set on receive in
the forwarding case which is desireable.

v3) Fixed spelling an casting error in skb->cb

v4) fixed to store raw queue_mapping to avoid double decrement

v5) Eric D requested that ->cb access be wrapped in a macro.

It occurs because we are able to change the slave configuarion of a bond while
the bond interface is down.  The bonding driver initializes some data structures
only after its ndo_open routine is called.  Among them is the initalization of
the alb tx and rx hash locks.  So if we add or remove a slave without first
opening the bond master device, we run the risk of trying to lock/unlock a
spinlock that has garbage for data in it, which results in our above softlock.

Note that sometimes this works, because in many cases an unlocked spinlock has
the raw_lock parameter initialized to zero (meaning that the kzalloc of the
net_device private data is equivalent to calling spin_lock_init), but thats not
true in all cases, and we aren't guaranteed that condition, so we need to pass
the relevant spinlocks through the spin_lock_init function.

Fix it by moving the spin_lock_init calls for the tx and rx hashtable locks to
the ndo_init path, so they are ready for use by the bond_store_slaves path.

Change notes:
v2) Based on conversation with Jay and Nicolas it seems that the ability to
enslave devices while the bond master is down should be safe to do.  As such
this is an outlier bug, and so instead we'll just initalize the errant spinlocks
in the init path rather than the open path, solving the problem.  We'll also
remove the warnings about the bond being down during enslave operations, since
it should be safe

v3) Fix spelling error

8d8fc29d02 netpoll: disable netpoll when enslave a device
V3: rename NETDEV_ENSLAVE to NETDEV_JOIN

Currently we do nothing when we enslave a net device which is running netconsole.
Neil pointed out that we may get weird results in such case, so let's disable
netpoll on the device being enslaved. I think it is too harsh to prevent
the device being ensalved if it is running netconsole.

By the way, this patch also removes the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN from netconsole
netdev notifier, because netpoll will check if the device is running or not
and we don't handle NETDEV_PRE_UP neither.

This patch is based on net-next-2.6.

ad246c992b ipv4, ipv6, bonding: Restore control over number of peer notifications
For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and
sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications
(gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover.
Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new
active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer
notification should be deferred until it does.

Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer
notifications on bonding failover.

Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested.  Since
it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make
num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter.  Bump
the bonding version number and update its documentation.

c6e1a0d12c net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmit
This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data
cache for a performance improvement.  skb_add_data_nocache and
skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use
this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg.  This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.

Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data.  The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary.  For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.

This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply.  Platform is 16 core AMD x86.

No-cache copy disabled:
   672703 tps, 97.13% utilization
   50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41

No-cache copy enabled:
   702113 tps, 96.16% utilization,
   50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955

Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the
effects more dramatically:

No-cache copy disabled:
   79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization
   50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76

No-cache copy enabled:
   83856 tps, 34.81% utilization
   50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88

Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).

This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran.  Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

35d48903e9 bonding: fix rx_handler locking
This prevents possible race between bond_enslave and bond_handle_frame
as reported by Nicolas by moving rx_handler register/unregister.
slave->bond is added to hold pointer to master bonding sructure. That
way dev->master is no longer used in bond_handler_frame.
Also, this removes "BUG: scheduling while atomic" message

ceda86a108 bonding: enable netpoll without checking link status
Only slaves that are up should transmit netpoll frames, so there is no
need to check to see if a slave is up before enabling netpoll on it.
This resolves a reported failure on active-backup bonds where a slave
interface is down when netpoll was enabled.
