[ Upstream commit 11e9d7829dd08dbafb24517fe922f11c3a8a9dc2 ]

bond_miimon_commit() handles the UP transition for each slave of a bond
in the case of MII. It is triggered 10 times per second for the default
MII Polling interval of 100ms. For device drivers that do not implement
__ethtool_get_link_ksettings() the call to bond_update_speed_duplex()
fails persistently while the MII status could remain UP. That is, in
this and other cases where the speed/duplex update keeps failing over a
longer period of time while the MII state is UP, a warning is printed
every MII polling interval.

To address these excessive warnings net_ratelimit() should be used.
Printing a warning once would not be sufficient since the call to
bond_update_speed_duplex() could recover to succeed and fail again
later. In that case there would be no new indication what went wrong.

[ Upstream commit ad729bc9acfb7c47112964b4877ef5404578ed13 ]

The patch c4adfc822bf5 ("bonding: make speed, duplex setting consistent
with link state") puts the link state to down if
bond_update_speed_duplex() cannot retrieve speed and duplex settings.
Assumably the patch was written with 802.3ad mode in mind which relies
on link speed/duplex settings. For other modes like active-backup these
settings are not required. Thus, only for these other modes, this patch
reintroduces support for slaves that do not support reporting speed or
duplex such as wireless devices. This fixes the regression reported in
bug 196547 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196547).

moves link status commitment into bond_mii_monitor(), but it still relies
on the return value of bond_miimon_inspect() as the hint. We need to return
non-zero as long as we propose a link status change.

[ Upstream commit cbf5ecb305601d063dc94a57680dfbc3f96c188d ]

balance-alb mode used to have transmit dynamic load balancing feature
enabled by default.  However, transmit dynamic load balancing no longer
works in balance-alb after commit 8b426dc54cf4 ("bonding: remove
hardcoded value").

Both balance-tlb and balance-alb use the function bond_do_alb_xmit() to
send packets.  This function uses the parameter tlb_dynamic_lb.
tlb_dynamic_lb used to have the default value of 1 for balance-alb, but
now the value is set to 0 except in balance-tlb.

Re-enable transmit dyanmic load balancing by initializing tlb_dynamic_lb
for balance-alb similar to balance-tlb.

<title>net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.rulkc.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=cf124db566e6b036b8bcbe8decbed740bdfac8c6'/>
<id>urn:sha1:cf124db566e6b036b8bcbe8decbed740bdfac8c6</id>
<content type='text'>
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_init().  However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit() or netdev-&gt;destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev-&gt;destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev-&gt;destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit().  But
it is not able to invoke netdev-&gt;destructor().

This is because netdev-&gt;destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev-&gt;destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev-&gt;destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev-&gt;priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev-&gt;destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev-&gt;needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops-&gt;ndo_uninit()
and netdev-&gt;priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev-&gt;priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

<title>bonding: Don't update slave-&gt;link until ready to commit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:797a93647a48d6cb8a20641a86a71713a947f786</id>
<content type='text'>
In the loadbalance arp monitoring scheme, when a slave link change is
detected, the slave-&gt;link is immediately updated and slave_state_changed
is set. Later down the function, the rtnl_lock is acquired and the
changes are committed, updating the bond link state.

However, the acquisition of the rtnl_lock can fail. The next time the
monitor runs, since slave-&gt;link is already updated, it determines that
link is unchanged. This results in the bond link state permanently out
of sync with the slave link.

This patch modifies bond_loadbalance_arp_mon() to handle link changes
identical to bond_ab_arp_{inspect/commit}(). The new link state is
maintained in slave-&gt;new_link until we're ready to commit at which point
it's copied into slave-&gt;link.

NOTE: miimon_{inspect/commit}() has a more complex state machine
requiring the use of the bond_{propose,commit}_link_state() functions
which maintains the intermediate state in slave-&gt;link_new_state. The arp
monitors don't require that.

Testing: This bug is very easy to reproduce with the following steps.
1. In a loop, toggle a slave link of a bond slave interface.
2. In a separate loop, do ifconfig up/down of an unrelated interface to
create contention for rtnl_lock.
Within a few iterations, the bond link goes out of sync with the slave
link.

In commit dc9c4d0fe023, the arp_target array moved from a static global
to a local variable. By the nature of static globals, the array used to
be initialized to all 0. At present, it's full of random data, which
that gets interpreted as arp_target values, when none have actually been
specified. Systems end up booting with spew along these lines:

[   32.161783] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): lacp0: link is not ready

[   32.211071] lacp0: Removing ARP target 216.124.228.17

[   32.236294] lacp0: option arp_ip_target: invalid value (-255.255.255.255)
[   32.243987] lacp0: Removing ARP target 56.125.228.17
[   32.249625] lacp0: Removing ARP target 218.160.255.255

[   32.261165] lacp0: invalid ARP target 255.255.255.255 specified for removal
[   32.268939] lacp0: option arp_ip_target: invalid value (-255.255.255.255)
[   32.276632] lacp0: Removing ARP target 16.0.0.0
[   32.281755] lacp0: Removing ARP target 218.160.255.255

[   32.304458] lacp0: Removing ARP target 218.160.255.255

None of these were actually specified as ARP targets, and the driver does
seem to clean up the mess okay, but it's rather noisy and confusing, leaks
values to userspace, and the 255.255.255.255 spew shows up even when debug
prints are disabled.

The fix: just zero out arp_target at init time.

While we're in here, init arp_all_targets_value in the right place.

<content type='text'>
As of 7bb11dc9f59d and 0622cab0341c, bond slaves in a 3ad bond are not
removed from the aggregator when they are down, and the active slave count
is NOT equal to number of ports in the aggregator, but rather the number
of ports in the aggregator that are still enabled. The sysfs spew for
bonding_show_ad_num_ports() has a comment that says "Show number of active
802.3ad ports.", but it's currently showing total number of ports, both
active and inactive. Remedy it by using the same logic introduced in
0622cab0341c in __bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info(), so sysfs, procfs and
netlink all report the number of active ports. Note that this means that
IFLA_BOND_AD_INFO_NUM_PORTS really means NUM_ACTIVE_PORTS instead of
NUM_PORTS, and thus perhaps should be renamed for clarity.

Lightly tested on a dual i40e lacp bond, simulating link downs with an ip
link set dev &lt;slave2&gt; down, was able to produce the state where I could
see both in the same aggregator, but a number of ports count of 1.
