This ways drivers like cxgb4 don't need to do ugly relative includes.

bonding: trivial: style and comment fixes

2014-09-15T21:19:49+00:00

First adjust a couple of locking comments that were left inaccurate,
then adjust comments to use the netdev styling and remove extra new
lines where necessary and add a couple of new lines between declarations
and code. These are all trivial styling changes, no functional change.
Also removed a couple of outdated or obvious comments.
This patch is by no means a complete fix of all netdev style violations
but it gets the bonding closer.

bonding: convert primary_slave to use RCU

2014-09-10T00:31:35+00:00

This is necessary mainly for two bonding call sites: procfs and
sysfs as it was dereferenced without any real protection.

bonding: use rcu_access_pointer() in bonding_show_mii_status()

2014-07-16T00:49:41+00:00

curr_active_slave is rcu protected, and bonding_show_mii_status() only
wants to check if pointer is NULL or not.

The netlink conflict dealt with moving to netlink_capable() and
netlink_ns_capable() in the 'net' tree vs. supporting 'tc' operations
in non-init namespaces.  These were simple transformations from
netlink_capable to netlink_ns_capable.

The Altera driver conflict was simply code removal overlapping some
void pointer cast cleanups in net-next.

bonding: make a generic sysfs option store and fix comments

2014-05-09T20:12:51+00:00

Introduce a generic option store function for sysfs and remove the
specific ones. The attribute name is used to match against the option
which is to be set.
Also adjust the "name" of tlb_dynamic_lb option to match the sysfs
entry and fix the comments and comment style in bond_sysfs.c
The comments which showed obvious behaviour (i.e. behaviour that's seen
in the option's entry) are removed, the ones that explained important
points about the setting function have been moved above the respective
set function in bond_options.c

There's only 1 exception: num_unsol_na/num_grat_arp since it has 2 names

bonding: Add tlb_dynamic_lb parameter for tlb mode

2014-04-24T17:04:34+00:00

The aggresive load balancing causes packet re-ordering as active
flows are moved from a slave to another within the group. Sometime
this aggresive lb is not necessary if the preference is for less
re-ordering. This parameter if used with value "0" disables
this dynamic flow shuffling minimizing packet re-ordering. Of course
the side effect is that it has to live with the static load balancing
that the hashing distribution provides. This impact is less severe if
the correct xmit-hashing-policy is used for the tlb setup.

The default value of the parameter is set to "1" mimicing the earlier
behavior.

Ran the netperf test with 200 stream for 1 min between two hosts with
4x1G trunk (xmit-lb mode with xmit-policy L3+4) before and after these
changes. Following was the command used for those 200 instances -

    netperf -t TCP_RR -l 60 -s 5 -H  -- -r81920,81920

Transactions per second:
    Before change: 1,367.11
    After  change: 1,470.65
