bonding: Fix ALB mode to balance traffic on VLANs
the dev field in the RLB ARP packet handler was set to NULL to wildcard
and accommodate balancing VLANs on top of bonds.
This has the side-effect of the packet handler being called against
other, non RLB-enabled bonds, and a kernel oops results when it tries to
dereference rx_hashtbl in rlb_update_entry_from_arp(), which won't be
set for those bonds, e.g. active-backup.
With the __netif_receive_skb() changes from:
commit 1f3c8804ac
Author: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net>
Date: Mon Dec 14 10:48:58 2009 +0000
bonding: allow arp_ip_targets on separate vlans to use arp validation
frames received on VLANs correctly make their way to the bond's handler,
so we no longer need to wildcard the device.
The oops can be reproduced by:
modprobe bonding
echo active-backup > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
echo 100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon
ifconfig bond0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
echo +eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
echo +bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
echo balance-alb > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/mode
echo 100 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/miimon
ifconfig bond1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
echo +eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/slaves
echo +eth3 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/slaves
Pass some traffic on bond0. Boom.
[ Tested, behaves as advertised. I do not believe a test of the bonding
mode is necessary, as there is no race between the packet handler and
the bonding mode changing (the mode can only change when the device is
closed). Also updated the log message to include the reproduction and
full commit ids. -J ]

When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load
balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless
ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems.
What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track
of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the
receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated
when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client
entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced
later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs
and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies
updating this specific client. The same process happens on
the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp
replies.
See more information including the relevant functions below:
System 1 System 2
bond0 bond0
ping <system2>
ARP request --------->
<--------- ARP reply
+->rlb_arp_recv <---------------------+ <--- loop begins
| rlb_update_entry_from_arp |
| client_info->ntt = 1; |
| bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; |

| <communication succeed> |

| bond_alb_monitor |
| rlb_update_rx_clients |

| client_info->ntt = 1;
| bond_info->rx_ntt = 1;
| < snipped, same as in system 1>
+------- <-------------- send ARP reply
<-------------- send ARP reply
Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks
a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP
address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply
poisoning the network.
This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC
address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't
change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later.

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.

The current ALB function that processes incoming ARPs
does not handle traffic for VLANs configured above bonding. This causes
traffic on those VLANs to all be assigned the same slave. This patch
corrects that misbehavior by locating the bonding interface nested below
the VLAN interface.

tested an earlier version of this patch and confirmed that it resolved

A panic was discovered with bonding when using mode 5 or 6 and trying to
remove the slaves from the bond after the interface was taken down.
When calling 'ifconfig bond0 down' the following happens:
bond_close()
bond_alb_deinitialize()
tlb_deinitialize()
kfree(bond_info->tx_hashtbl)
bond_info->tx_hashtbl = NULL
Unfortunately if there are still slaves in the bond, when removing the
module the following happens:
bonding_exit()
bond_free_all()
bond_release_all()
bond_alb_deinit_slave()
tlb_clear_slave()
tx_hash_table = BOND_ALB_INFO(bond).tx_hashtbl
u32 next_index = tx_hash_table[index].next
As you might guess we panic when trying to access a few entries into the
table that no longer exists.
I experimented with several options (like moving the calls to
tlb_deinitialize somewhere else), but it really makes the most sense to
be part of the bond_close routine. It also didn't seem logical move
tlb_clear_slave around too much, so the simplest option seems to add a
check in tlb_clear_slave to make sure we haven't already wiped the
tx_hashtbl away before searching for all the non-existent hash-table
entries that used to point to the slave as the output interface.

dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti might overflow.
Commit: "netdevice: Fix promiscuity and allmulti overflow" in net-next makes
dev_set_promiscuity/allmulti return error number if overflow happened.
In bond_alb and bond_main, we check all positive increment for promiscuity
and allmulti to get error return.
But there are still two problems left.
1. Some code path has no mechanism to signal errors upstream.
2. If there are multi slaves, it's hard to tell which slaves increment
promisc/allmulti successfully and which failed.
So I left these problems to be FIXME.
Fortunately, the overflow is very rare case.

Our systems have been crashing during testing of PCI HotPlug

the bonding driver due to a bug in bond_alb.c:tlb_clear_slave()
In that routine, the last modification to the TLB hash table is
