[ Upstream commit 24b27fc4cdf9e10c5e79e5923b6b7c2c5c95096c ]

Following few steps will crash kernel -

  (a) Create bonding master
      &gt; modprobe bonding miimon=50
  (b) Create macvlan bridge on eth2
      &gt; ip link add link eth2 dev mvl0 address aa:0:0:0:0:01 \
	   type macvlan
  (c) Now try adding eth2 into the bond
      &gt; echo +eth2 &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
      &lt;crash&gt;

Bonding does lots of things before checking if the device enslaved is
busy or not.

In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the
bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is
registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to
register rx_handler for the new slave.

This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the
beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

Commit e826eafa65c6 ("bonding: Call netif_carrier_off after

bond_create(), but the latter is called only for initial default
devices and ones created through sysfs:

 $ modprobe bonding
 $ echo +bond1 &gt; /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
 $ ip link add bond2 type bond
 $ grep "MII Status" /proc/net/bonding/*
 /proc/net/bonding/bond0:MII Status: down
 /proc/net/bonding/bond1:MII Status: down
 /proc/net/bonding/bond2:MII Status: up

Ensure that carrier is initially off also for devices created through
netlink.

[ Upstream commit fe30937b65354c7fec244caebbdaae68e28ca797 ]

bond_get_stats() can be called from rtnetlink (with RTNL held)
or from /proc/net/dev seq handler (with RCU held)

The logic added in commit 5f0c5f73e5ef ("bonding: make global bonding
stats more reliable") kind of assumed only one cpu could run there.

If multiple threads are reading /proc/net/dev, stats can be really
messed up after a while.

A second problem is that some fields are 32bit, so we need to properly
handle the wrap around problem.

Given that RTNL is not always held, we need to use
bond_for_each_slave_rcu().

<title>bonding: Fix ARP monitor validation</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 21a75f0915dde8674708b39abfcda113911c49b1 ]

The current logic in bond_arp_rcv will accept an incoming ARP for
validation if (a) the receiving slave is either "active" (which includes
the currently active slave, or the current ARP slave) or, (b) there is a
currently active slave, and it has received an ARP since it became active.
For case (b), the receiving slave isn't the currently active slave, and is
receiving the original broadcast ARP request, not an ARP reply from the
target.

	This logic can fail if there is no currently active slave.  In
this situation, the ARP probe logic cycles through all slaves, assigning
each in turn as the "current_arp_slave" for one arp_interval, then setting
that one as "active," and sending an ARP probe from that slave.  The
current logic expects the ARP reply to arrive on the sending
current_arp_slave, however, due to switch FDB updating delays, the reply
may be directed to another slave.

	This can arise if the bonding slaves and switch are working, but
the ARP target is not responding.  When the ARP target recovers, a
condition may result wherein the ARP target host replies faster than the
switch can update its forwarding table, causing each ARP reply to be sent
to the previous current_arp_slave.  This will never pass the logic in
bond_arp_rcv, as neither of the above conditions (a) or (b) are met.

	Some experimentation on a LAN shows ARP reply round trips in the
200 usec range, but my available switches never update their FDB in less
than 4000 usec.

	This patch changes the logic in bond_arp_rcv to additionally
accept an ARP reply for validation on any slave if there is a current ARP
slave and it sent an ARP probe during the previous arp_interval.

Commit 1f718f0f4f97 ("bonding: populate neighbour's private on enslave")
undoes the fix provided by commit c2edacf80e15 ("bonding / ipv6: no addrconf
for slaves separately from master") by effectively setting the slave flag
after the slave has been opened.  If the slave comes up quickly enough, it
will go through the IPv6 addrconf before the slave flag has been set and
will get a link local IPv6 address.

In order to ensure that addrconf knows to ignore the slave devices on state
change, set IFF_SLAVE before dev_open() during bonding enslavement.

<title>bonding: fix panic on non-ARPHRD_ETHER enslave failure</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 7d5cd2ce529b, when bond_enslave fails on devices that
are not ARPHRD_ETHER, if needed, it resets the bonding device back to
ARPHRD_ETHER by calling ether_setup.

	Unfortunately, ether_setup clobbers dev-&gt;flags, clearing IFF_UP
if the bond device is up, leaving it in a quasi-down state without
having actually gone through dev_close.  For bonding, if any periodic
work queue items are active (miimon, arp_interval, etc), those will
remain running, as they are stopped by bond_close.  At this point, if
the bonding module is unloaded or the bond is deleted, the system will
panic when the work function is called.

	This panic is resolved by calling dev_close on the bond itself
prior to calling ether_setup.

actor_admin, and actor_oper key is changed at multiple locations in
the code. This patch brings all those updates into one location in
an attempt to avoid possible inconsistent updates causing LACP state
machine to go in weird state.

The unified place is ad_update_actor_key() with simple state-machine
logic -
  (a) If port is "duplex" then only it can participate in LACP
  (b) Speed change reinitializes the LACP state-machine.

If using a sixtofour device on top of a bonding device,
skb segmentation of TCP traffic is done right before calling
bonding xmit, because bonding only enables TSO for IPv4.

This patch improves single flow performance by about 120 % on my hosts,
because segmentation is deferred right before calling slave xmit.
