* team: allow to enable/disable portsJiri Pirko2012-04-211-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes content of hashlist (used to get port struct by computed index (0...en_port_count-1)). Now the hash list contains only enabled ports so userspace will be able to say what ports can be used for tx/rx. This becomes handy when userspace will need to disable ports which does not belong to active aggregator. By default, newly added port is enabled.

* team: add user_linkup and user_linkup_enabled per-port optionJiri Pirko2012-04-111-8/+18
| | | | | | | | Allows userspace to setup linkup for ports. Default is to take linkup directly from ethtool state. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* team: add bool option typeJiri Pirko2012-04-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Add another (hopefully last) option type. Use NLA_FLAG to implement that. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* team: add support for per-port optionsJiri Pirko2012-04-111-13/+17
| | | | | | | | | This patch allows to create per-port options. That becomes handy for all sorts of stuff, for example for userspace driven link-state, 802.3ad implementation and so on. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* team: add binary option typeJiri Pirko2012-04-041-0/+8
| | | | | | | | For transfering generic binary data (e.g. BPF code), introduce new binary option type. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* team: send only changed options/ports via netlinkJiri Pirko2012-01-241-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | This patch changes event message behaviour to send only updated records instead of whole list. This fixes bug on which userspace receives non-actual data in case multiple events occur in row. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* team: replicate options on registerJiri Pirko2011-11-161-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | Since multiple team instances are putting defined options into their option list, during register each option must be cloned before added into list. This resolves uncool memory corruptions when using multiple teams. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* team: convert overall spinlock to mutexJiri Pirko2011-11-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | No need to have spinlock for this purpose. So convert this to mutex and avoid current schedule while atomic problems in netlink code. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* 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.
