Don't try to adjust XFRM support flags if the bond device isn't yet
registered. Bad things can currently happen when netdev_change_features()
is called without having wanted_features fully filled in yet. This code
runs both on post-module-load mode changes, as well as at module init
time, and when run at module init time, it is before register_netdevice()
has been called and filled in wanted_features. The empty wanted_features
led to features also getting emptied out, which was definitely not the
intended behavior, so prevent that from happening.

Originally, I'd hoped to stop adjusting wanted_features at all in the
bonding driver, as it's documented as being something only the network
core should touch, but we actually do need to do this to properly update
both the features and wanted_features fields when changing the bond type,
or we get to a situation where ethtool sees:

    esp-hw-offload: off [requested on]

I do think we should be using netdev_update_features instead of
netdev_change_features here though, so we only send notifiers when the
features actually changed.

<title>bonding: allow xfrm offload setup post-module-load</title>

At the moment, bonding xfrm crypto offload can only be set up if the bonding
module is loaded with active-backup mode already set. We need to be able to
make this work with bonds set to AB after the bonding driver has already
been loaded.

So what's done here is:

1) move #define BOND_XFRM_FEATURES to net/bonding.h so it can be used
by both bond_main.c and bond_options.c
2) set BOND_XFRM_FEATURES in bond_dev-&gt;hw_features universally, rather than
only when loading in AB mode
3) wire up xfrmdev_ops universally too
4) disable BOND_XFRM_FEATURES in bond_dev-&gt;features if not AB
5) exit early (non-AB case) from bond_ipsec_offload_ok, to prevent a
performance hit from traversing into the underlying drivers
5) toggle BOND_XFRM_FEATURES in bond_dev-&gt;wanted_features and call
netdev_change_features() from bond_option_mode_set()

In my local testing, I can change bonding modes back and forth on the fly,
have hardware offload work when I'm in AB, and see no performance penalty
to non-AB software encryption, despite having xfrm bits all wired up for
all modes now.

<title>net: change addr_list_lock back to static key</title>

<id>845e0ebb4408d4473cf60d21224a897037e9a77a</id>
<content type='text'>
The dynamic key update for addr_list_lock still causes troubles,
for example the following race condition still exists:

CPU 0:				CPU 1:
(RCU read lock)			(RTNL lock)
dev_mc_seq_show()		netdev_update_lockdep_key()
				  -&gt; lockdep_unregister_key()
 -&gt; netif_addr_lock_bh()

because lockdep doesn't provide an API to update it atomically.
Therefore, we have to move it back to static keys and use subclass
for nest locking like before.

In commit 1a33e10e4a95 ("net: partially revert dynamic lockdep key
changes"), I already reverted most parts of commit ab92d68fc22f
("net: core: add generic lockdep keys").

This patch reverts the rest and also part of commit f3b0a18bb6cb
("net: remove unnecessary variables and callback"). After this
patch, addr_list_lock changes back to using static keys and
subclasses to satisfy lockdep. Thanks to dev-&gt;lower_level, we do
not have to change back to -&gt;ndo_get_lock_subclass().

And hopefully this reduces some syzbot lockdep noises too.

After bond_release(), netdev_update_lockdep_key() should be called.
But both ioctl path and attribute path don't call
netdev_update_lockdep_key().
This patch adds missing netdev_update_lockdep_key().

Test commands:
    ip link add bond0 type bond
    ip link add bond1 type bond
    ifenslave bond0 bond1
    ifenslave -d bond0 bond1
    ifenslave bond1 bond0

After bond_release(), netdev_update_lockdep_key() should be called.
But both ioctl path and attribute path don't call
netdev_update_lockdep_key().
This patch adds missing netdev_update_lockdep_key().

Test commands:
    ip link add bond0 type bond
    ip link add bond1 type bond
    ifenslave bond0 bond1
    ifenslave -d bond0 bond1
    ifenslave bond1 bond0

<title>bonding: add an option to specify a delay between peer notifications</title>
<updated>2019-07-04T19:30:48+00:00</updated>

<name>Vincent Bernat</name>

<published>2019-07-02T17:43:54+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=07a4ddec3ce9b0a533b5f90f582f1057390d5e63'/>
<id>07a4ddec3ce9b0a533b5f90f582f1057390d5e63</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, gratuitous ARP/ND packets are sent every `miimon'
milliseconds. This commit allows a user to specify a custom delay
through a new option, `peer_notif_delay'.

Like for `updelay' and `downdelay', this delay should be a multiple of
`miimon' to avoid managing an additional work queue. The configuration
logic is copied from `updelay' and `downdelay'. However, the default
value cannot be set using a module parameter: Netlink or sysfs should
be used to configure this feature.

When setting `miimon' to 100 and `peer_notif_delay' to 500, we can
observe the 500 ms delay is respected:

    20:30:19.354693 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:19.874892 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:20.394919 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
    20:30:20.914963 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28

In bond_mii_monitor(), I have tried to keep the lock logic readable.
The change is due to the fact we cannot rely on a notification to
lower the value of `bond-&gt;send_peer_notif' as `NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS' is
only triggered once every N times, while we need to decrement the
counter each time.

iproute2 also needs to be updated to be able to specify this new
attribute through `ip link'.

All of these printk instances benefit from having both master and slave
device information included, so convert to using a standardized macro
format and remove redundant information.

There's currently a problem with toggling arp_validate on and off with an
active-backup bond. At the moment, you can start up a bond, like so:

modprobe bonding mode=1 arp_interval=100 arp_validate=0 arp_ip_targets=192.168.1.1
ip link set bond0 down
echo "ens4f0" &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
echo "ens4f1" &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
ip link set bond0 up
ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev bond0

Pings to 192.168.1.1 work just fine. Now turn on arp_validate:

echo 1 &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_validate

Pings to 192.168.1.1 continue to work just fine. Now when you go to turn
arp_validate off again, the link falls flat on it's face:

echo 0 &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_validate
dmesg
...
[133191.911987] bond0: Setting arp_validate to none (0)
[133194.257793] bond0: bond_should_notify_peers: slave ens4f0
[133194.258031] bond0: link status definitely down for interface ens4f0, disabling it
[133194.259000] bond0: making interface ens4f1 the new active one
[133197.330130] bond0: link status definitely down for interface ens4f1, disabling it
[133197.331191] bond0: now running without any active interface!

The problem lies in bond_options.c, where passing in arp_validate=0
results in bond-&gt;recv_probe getting set to NULL. This flies directly in
the face of commit 3fe68df97c7f, which says we need to set recv_probe =
bond_arp_recv, even if we're not using arp_validate. Said commit fixed
this in bond_option_arp_interval_set, but missed that we can get to that
same state in bond_option_arp_validate_set as well.

One solution would be to universally set recv_probe = bond_arp_recv here
as well, but I don't think bond_option_arp_validate_set has any business
touching recv_probe at all, and that should be left to the arp_interval
code, so we can just make things much tidier here.

Fixes: 3fe68df97c7f ("bonding: always set recv_probe to bond_arp_rcv in arp monitor")

This patch is a little improvement. If user use the
command shown as below, we should print the info [1]
instead of [2]. The eth0 exists actually, and it may
confuse user.

$ echo "eth0" &gt; /sys/class/net/bond4/bonding/slaves

[1] "bond4: no command found in slaves file - use +ifname or -ifname"
[2] "write error: No such device"

<title>bonding: set default miimon value for non-arp modes if not set</title>

For some time now, if you load the bonding driver and configure bond
parameters via sysfs using minimal config options, such as specifying
nothing but the mode, relying on defaults for everything else, modes
that cannot use arp monitoring (802.3ad, balance-tlb, balance-alb) all
wind up with both arp_interval=0 (as it should be) and miimon=0, which
means the miimon monitor thread never actually runs. This is particularly
problematic for 802.3ad.

For example, from an LNST recipe I've set up:

$ modprobe bonding max_bonds=0"
$ echo "+t_bond0" &gt; /sys/class/net/bonding_masters"
$ ip link set t_bond0 down"
$ echo "802.3ad" &gt; /sys/class/net/t_bond0/bonding/mode"
$ ip link set ens1f1 down"
$ echo "+ens1f1" &gt; /sys/class/net/t_bond0/bonding/slaves"
$ ip link set ens1f0 down"
$ echo "+ens1f0" &gt; /sys/class/net/t_bond0/bonding/slaves"
$ ethtool -i t_bond0"
$ ip link set ens1f1 up"
$ ip link set ens1f0 up"
$ ip link set t_bond0 up"
$ ip addr add 192.168.9.1/24 dev t_bond0"
$ ip addr add 2002::1/64 dev t_bond0"

This bond comes up okay, but things look slightly suspect in
/proc/net/bonding/t_bond0 output:

$ grep -i mii /proc/net/bonding/t_bond0
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 0
MII Status: up
MII Status: up

Now, pull a cable on one of the ports in the bond, then reconnect it, and
you'll see:

Slave Interface: ens1f0
MII Status: down
Speed: 1000 Mbps
Duplex: full

I believe this became a major issue as of commit 4d2c0cda0744, which for
802.3ad bonds, sets slave-&gt;link = BOND_LINK_DOWN, with a comment about
relying on link monitoring via miimon to set it correctly, but since the
miimon work queue never runs, the link just stays marked down.

If we simply tweak bond_option_mode_set() slightly, we can check for the
non-arp modes having no miimon value set, and insert BOND_DEFAULT_MIIMON,
which gets things back in full working order. This problem exists as far
back as 4.14, and might be worth fixing in all stable trees since, though
the work-around is to simply specify an miimon value yourself.
