* net: Add lag.h, net_lag_port_dev_txable()Petr Machata2018-07-111-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* team: Publish team_port_get_rcu()Petr Machata2018-07-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A follow-up patch adds a new entry point, team_port_dev_txable(). Making it an ordinary exported function would mean that any module that may need the service in one of the supported configurations also unconditionally needs to pull in the team module, whether or not the user actually intends to create team interfaces. To prevent that, team_port_dev_txable() is defined in if_team.h, and therefore all dependencies of that function also need to be publicly-visible. Therefore move team_port_get_rcu() from team.c to if_team.h.

* locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns ↵Mark Rutland2017-10-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* Fixing a bug in team driver due to incorrect 'unsigned int' to 'int' conversionAlex Sidorenko2016-10-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Roundrobin runner of team driver uses 'unsigned int' variable to count the number of sent_packets. Later it is passed to a subroutine team_num_to_port_index(struct team *team, int num) as 'num' and when we reach MAXINT (2**31-1), 'num' becomes negative. This leads to using incorrect hash-bucket for port lookup and as a result, packets are dropped. The fix consists of changing 'int num' to 'unsigned int num'. Testing of a fixed kernel shows that there is no packet drop anymore. Signed-off-by: Alex Sidorenko <alexandre.sidorenko@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now it is not possible to set mtu to team device which has a port enslaved to it. The reason is that when team_change_mtu() calls dev_set_mtu() for port device, notificator for NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU event is called and team_device_event() returns NOTIFY_BAD forbidding the change. So fix this by returning NOTIFY_DONE here in case team is changing mtu in team_change_mtu().

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

* team: allow userspace to take control over carrierFlavio Leitner2013-02-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some modes don't require any special carrier handling so in these cases, the kernel can control the carrier as for any other interface. However, some other modes, e.g. lacp, requires more than just that, so userspace needs to control the carrier itself. The daemon today is ready to control it, but the kernel still can change it based on events. This fix so that either kernel or userspace is controlling the carrier.

* net: introduce ethernet teaming deviceJiri Pirko2011-11-131-0/+242
This patch introduces new network device called team. It supposes to be very fast, simple, userspace-driven alternative to existing bonding driver. Userspace library called libteam with couple of demo apps is available here: https://github.com/jpirko/libteam Note it's still in its dipers atm. team<->libteam use generic netlink for communication. That and rtnl suppose to be the only way to configure team device, no sysfs etc. Python binding of libteam was recently introduced. Daemon providing arpmon/miimon active-backup functionality will be introduced shortly. All what's necessary is already implemented in kernel team driver. v7->v8: - check ndo_ndo_vlan_rx_[add/kill]_vid functions before calling them. - use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead of dev_kfree_skb() v6->v7: - transmit and receive functions are not checked in hot paths. That also resolves memory leak on transmit when no port is present v5->v6: - changed couple of _rcu calls to non _rcu ones in non-readers v4->v5: - team_change_mtu() uses team->lock while travesing though port list - mac address changes are moved completely to jurisdiction of userspace daemon. This way the daemon can do FOM1, FOM2 and possibly other weird things with mac addresses. Only round-robin mode sets up all ports to bond's address then enslaved. - Extended Kconfig text v3->v4: - remove redundant synchronize_rcu from __team_change_mode() - revert "set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte" - extend comment of function __team_change_mode() v2->v3: - team_change_mtu() uses rcu version of list traversal to unwind - set and clear of mode_ops happens per pointer, not per byte - port hashlist changed to be embedded into team structure - error branch in team_port_enter() does cleanup now - fixed rtln->rtnl v1->v2: - modes are made as modules. Makes team more modular and extendable. - several commenters' nitpicks found on v1 were fixed - several other bugs were fixed. - note I ignored Eric's comment about roundrobin port selector as Eric's way may be easily implemented as another mode (mode "random") in future.
