6639104bd8 bond: Get the rtnl_link_ops support correct
- Don't call rtnl_link_unregister if rtnl_link_register fails
- Set .priv_size so we aren't stomping on uninitialized memory
  when we use netdev_priv, on bond devices created with
  ip link add type bond.

88ead97710 bond: Implement a basic set of rtnl link ops
This implements a basic set of rtnl link ops and takes advantage of
the fact that rtnl_link_unregister kills all of the surviving
devices to all us to kill bond_free_all.  A module alias
is added so ip link add can pull in the bonding module.

c67dfb299e bond: Simplify bond device destruction
Manually inline the code from bond_deinit to bond_uninit.  bond_uninit
is the only caller and it is short.

Move the call of bond_release_all from the netdev notifier into
bond_uninit.  The call site is effectively the same and performing
the call explicitly allows all the paths for destroying a
bonding device to behave the same way.

d9d5283228 bonding: fix a race condition in calls to slave MII ioctls
In mii monitor mode, bond_check_dev_link() calls the the ioctl
handler of slave devices. It stores the ndo_do_ioctl function
pointer to a static (!) ioctl variable and later uses it to call the
handler with the IOCTL macro.

If another thread executes bond_check_dev_link() at the same time
(even with a different bond, which none of the locks prevent), a
race condition occurs. If the two racing slaves have different
drivers, this may result in one driver's ioctl handler being
called with a pointer to a net_device controlled with a different
driver, resulting in unpredictable breakage.

Unless I am overlooking something, the "static" must be a
copy'n'paste error (?).

38fc0026da bonding: change bond_create_proc_entry() to return void
The function bond_create_proc_entry is currently of type int.

Two versions of this function exist:

The one in the ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS branch always return 0.
The one in the else branch (which is empty) return nothing.

When CONFIG_PROC_FS is undef, this cause the following warning:

drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c: In function `bond_create_proc_entry':
drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:3393: warning: control reaches end of
non-void function

No caller of this function use the returned value.

So change the returned type from int to void and remove the
useless return 0; .

In some cases there is not desirable to switch back to primary interface when
it's link recovers and rather stay with currently active one. We need to avoid
packetloss as much as we can in some cases. This is solved by introducing
primary_reselect option. Note that enslaved primary slave is set as current
active no matter what.

ce501caf16 bonding: set primary param via sysfs
Primary module parameter passed to bonding is pernament. That means if you
release the primary slave and enslave it again, it becomes the primary slave
again. But if you set primary slave via sysfs, the primary slave is only set
once and it's not remembered in bond->params structure. Therefore the setting is
lost after releasing the primary slave. This simple one-liner fixes this.

When I was implementing primary_passive option (formely named primary_lazy) I've
run into troubles with ab_arp. This is the only mode which is not using
bond_select_active_slave() function to select active slave and instead it

better to do it in bond_select_active_slave() for all cases. This patch makes
this happen. Please review.

75c78500dd bonding: remap muticast addresses without using dev_close() and dev_open()
This patch fixes commit e36b9d16c6. The approach
there is to call dev_close()/dev_open() whenever the device type is changed in
order to remap the device IP multicast addresses to HW multicast addresses.
This approach suffers from 2 drawbacks:

*. It assumes tha the device is UP when calling dev_close(), or otherwise
   dev_close() has no affect. It is worth to mention that initscripts (Redhat)
   and sysconfig (Suse) doesn't act the same in this matter. 
*. dev_close() has other side affects, like deleting entries from the routing
   table, which might be unnecessary.

The fix here is to directly remap the IP multicast addresses to HW multicast
addresses for a bonding device that changes its type, and nothing else.

e36b9d16c6 bonding: clean muticast addresses when device changes type
Bonding device forbids slave device of different types under the same
master.

However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its
lifetime.  This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND
or the other way arround.  The change of type requires device level
multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses
depend on the device type.

The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes
type and dev_open() just after that.

In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under
bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER
by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved.

This is how /proc/net/dev_mcast looks like without the patch

5    bond0           1     0     00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05

     bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zero

Note: sysfs and procfs still produce WARN() messages when this is done
so the sysfs method is the recommended API.

93f154b594 net: release dst entry in dev_hard_start_xmit()
One point of contention in high network loads is the dst_release() performed
when a transmited skb is freed. This is because NIC tx completion calls
dev_kree_skb() long after original call to dev_queue_xmit(skb).

CPU cache is cold and the atomic op in dst_release() stalls. On SMP, this is
quite visible if one CPU is 100% handling softirqs for a network device,
since dst_clone() is done by other cpus, involving cache line ping pongs.

It seems right place to release dst is in dev_hard_start_xmit(), for most
devices but ones that are virtual, and some exceptions.

David Miller suggested to define a new device flag, set in alloc_netdev_mq()
(so that most devices set it at init time), and carefuly unset in devices
which dont want a NULL skb->dst in their ndo_start_xmit().

List of devices that must clear this flag is :

- loopback device, because it calls netif_rx() and quoting Patrick :
    "ip_route_input() doesn't accept loopback addresses, so loopback packets
     already need to have a dst_entry attached."
- appletalk/ipddp.c : needs skb->dst in its xmit function

- And all devices that call again dev_queue_xmit() from their xmit function
(as some classifiers need skb->dst) : bonding, vlan, macvlan, eql, ifb, hdlc_fr

496a60cdcd net: FIX bonding sysfs rtnl_lock deadlock
Sysfs files for a network device can not unconditionally take the
rtnl_lock as the bonding sysfs files do.  If someone accesses those
sysfs files while the network device is being unregistered with the
rtnl_lock held we will deadlock.

So use trylock and restart_syscall to avoid this problem.

4cd6fe1c64 bonding: fix link down handling in 802.3ad mode
One of the purposes of bonding is to allow for redundant links, and failover
correctly if the cable is pulled. If all the members of a bonded device have
no carrier present, the bonded device itself needs to report no carrier present
to user space so management tools (like routing daemons) can respond.

Bonding in 802.3ad mode does not work correctly for this because it incorrectly
chooses a link that is down as a possible aggregator.

9d21493b4b net: tx scalability works : trans_start
struct net_device trans_start field is a hot spot on SMP and high performance
devices, particularly multi queues ones, because every transmitter dirties
it. Is main use is tx watchdog and bonding alive checks.

But as most devices dont use NETIF_F_LLTX, we have to lock
a netdev_queue before calling their ndo_start_xmit(). So it makes
sense to move trans_start from net_device to netdev_queue. Its update
will occur on a already present (and in exclusive state) cache line, for
free.

We can do this transition smoothly. An old driver continue to
update dev->trans_start, while an updated one updates txq->trans_start.

Further patches could also put tx_bytes/tx_packets counters in 
netdev_queue to avoid dirtying dev->stats (vlan device comes to mind)

9d34d1a20e bonding: fix panic if initialization fails
If module initialisation failed (e.g. because the bonding sysfs entry
cannot be created), kernel panics:
 IP: [<ffffffff8024910a>] destroy_workqueue+0x2d/0x146
Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff808268c4>] bond_destructor+0x28/0x78
 [<ffffffff80b64471>] netdev_run_todo+0x231/0x25a
 [<ffffffff80b6dbcd>] rtnl_unlock+0x9/0xb
 [<ffffffff81567907>] bonding_init+0x83e/0x84a

Remove the calls to bond_work_cancel_all() and destroy_workqueue();
both are also called/scheduled via bond_free_all().

bond_destroy_sysfs is unecessary because the sysfs entry has
not been created in the error case.
