Revert "bonding: allow carrier and link status to determine link state"

2018-05-16T18:03:50+00:00

This reverts commit 1386c36b30388f46a95100924bfcae75160db715.

We don't want to encourage drivers to not report carrier status
correctly, therefore remove this commit.

bonding: allow carrier and link status to determine link state

2018-05-16T16:15:11+00:00

In a mixed environment it may be difficult to tell if your hardware
support carrier, if it does not it can always report true. With a new
use_carrier option of 2, we can check both carrier and link status
sequentially, instead of one or the other

bonding: update documentation section after dev->trans_start removal

2016-05-04T21:07:13+00:00

Drivers that use LLTX need to update trans_start of the netdev_queue.
(Most drivers don't use LLTX; stack does this update if .ndo_start_xmit
 returned TX_OK).

bonding: Implement user key part of port_key in an AD system.

2015-05-11T14:59:32+00:00

The port key has three components - user-key, speed-part, and duplex-part.
The LSBit is for the duplex-part, next 5 bits are for the speed while the
remaining 10 bits are the user defined key bits. Get these 10 bits
from the user-space (through the SysFs interface) and use it to form the
admin port-key. Allowed range for the user-key is 0 - 1023 (10 bits). If
it is not provided then use zero for the user-key-bits (default).

It can set using following example code -

   # modprobe bonding mode=4
   # usr_port_key=$(( RANDOM & 0x3FF ))
   # echo $usr_port_key > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_user_port_key
   # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
   ...
   # ip link set bond0 up

bonding: Allow userspace to set actors' macaddr in an AD-system.

2015-05-11T14:59:32+00:00

In an AD system, the communication between actor and partner is the
business between these two entities. In the current setup anyone on the
same L2 can "guess" the LACPDU contents and then possibly send the
spoofed LACPDUs and trick the partner causing connectivity issues for
the AD system. This patch allows to use a random mac-address obscuring
it's identity making it harder for someone in the L2 is do the same thing.

This patch allows user-space to choose the mac-address for the AD-system.
This mac-address can not be NULL or a Multicast. If the mac-address is set
from user-space; kernel will honor it and will not overwrite it. In the
absence (value from user space); the logic will default to using the
masters' mac as the mac-address for the AD-system.

It can be set using example code below -

   # modprobe bonding mode=4
   # sys_mac_addr=$(printf '%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x' \
                    $(( (RANDOM & 0xFE) | 0x02 )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )) \
                    $(( RANDOM & 0xFF )))
   # echo $sys_mac_addr > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_actor_system
   # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
   ...
   # ip link set bond0 up

bonding: Allow userspace to set actors' system_priority in AD system

2015-05-11T14:59:31+00:00

This patch allows user to randomize the system-priority in an ad-system.
The allowed range is 1 - 0xFFFF while default value is 0xFFFF. If user
does not specify this value, the system defaults to 0xFFFF, which is
what it was before this patch.

Following example code could set the value -
    # modprobe bonding mode=4
    # sys_prio=$(( 1 + RANDOM + RANDOM ))
    # echo $sys_prio > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/ad_actor_sys_prio
    # echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
    ...
    # ip link set bond0 up

[jt: * fixed up style issues reported by checkpatch
     * changed how the default value is set in bond_check_params(), this
       makes the default consistent between what gets set for a new bond
       and what the default is claimed to be in the bonding options.]

tcp: allow for bigger reordering level

2014-10-29T19:05:15+00:00

While testing upcoming Yaogong patch (converting out of order queue
into an RB tree), I hit the max reordering level of linux TCP stack.

Reordering level was limited to 127 for no good reason, and some
network setups [1] can easily reach this limit and get limited
throughput.

Allow a new max limit of 300, and add a sysctl to allow admins to even
allow bigger (or lower) values if needed.

[1] Aggregation of links, per packet load balancing, fabrics not doing
 deep packet inspections, alternative TCP congestion modules...
