<content type='text'>
Bond agnostically interacts with TLS device-offload requests via the
.ndo_sk_get_lower_dev operation. Return value is true iff bond
guarantees fixed mapping between the TLS connection and a lower netdev.

Due to this nature, the bond TLS device offload features are not
explicitly controllable in the bond layer. As of today, these are
read-only values based on the evaluation of bond_sk_check().  However,
this indication might be incorrect and misleading, when the feature bits
are "fixed" by some dependency features.  For example,
NETIF_F_HW_TLS_TX/RX are forcefully cleared in case the corresponding
checksum offload is disabled. But in fact the bond ability to still
offload TLS connections to the lower device is not hurt.

This means that these bits can not be trusted, and hence better become
unused.

This patch revives some old discussion [1] and proposes a much simpler
solution: Clear the bond's TLS features bits. Everyone should stop
reading them.

contain the same constant data so define one common instance for all

<title>net: bonding: replace dev_trans_start() with the jiffies of the last ARP/NS</title>

<content type='text'>
The bonding driver piggybacks on time stamps kept by the network stack
for the purpose of the netdev TX watchdog, and this is problematic
because it does not work with NETIF_F_LLTX devices.

It is hard to say why the driver looks at dev_trans_start() of the
slave-&gt;dev, considering that this is updated even by non-ARP/NS probes
sent by us, and even by traffic not sent by us at all (for example PTP
on physical slave devices). ARP monitoring in active-backup mode appears
to still work even if we track only the last TX time of actual ARP
probes.

<title>Bonding: add per-port priority for failover re-selection</title>

<content type='text'>
Add per port priority support for bonding active slave re-selection during
failover. A higher number means higher priority in selection. The primary
slave still has the highest priority. This option also follows the
primary_reselect rules.

This option could only be configured via netlink.

Guard ns_targets in struct bond_params by CONFIG_IPV6, which could save
256 bytes if IPv6 not configed. Also add this protection for function
bond_is_ip6_target_ok() and bond_get_targets_ip6().

Remove the IS_ENABLED() check for bond_opts[] as this will make
BOND_OPT_NS_TARGETS uninitialized if CONFIG_IPV6 not enabled. Add
a dummy bond_option_ns_ip6_targets_set() for this situation.

<title>net: add per-cpu storage and net-&gt;core_stats</title>

<id>625788b5844511cf4c30cffa7fa0bc3a69cebc82</id>
<content type='text'>
Before adding yet another possibly contended atomic_long_t,
it is time to add per-cpu storage for existing ones:
 dev-&gt;tx_dropped, dev-&gt;rx_dropped, and dev-&gt;rx_nohandler

Because many devices do not have to increment such counters,
allocate the per-cpu storage on demand, so that dev_get_stats()
does not have to spend considerable time folding zero counters.

Note that some drivers have abused these counters which
were supposed to be only used by core networking stack.

v4: should use per_cpu_ptr() in dev_get_stats() (Jakub)
v3: added a READ_ONCE() in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Paolo)
v2: add a missing include (reported by kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;)
    Change in netdev_core_stats_alloc() (Jakub)

This patch add a new bonding option ns_ip6_target, which correspond
to the arp_ip_target. With this we set IPv6 targets and send IPv6 NS
request to determine the health of the link.

For other related options like the validation, we still use
arp_validate, and will change to ns_validate later.

Note: the sysfs configuration support was removed based on

Add required bond_ns_send/rcv functions first before adding
IPv6 address option setting.

Add two functions bond_send/rcv_validate so we can send/recv

bond_option_active_slave_get_rcu() should not be used in rtnl_mutex as it
use rcu_dereference(). Replace to rcu_dereference_rtnl() so we also can use
