bonding: discard lowest hash bit for 802.3ad layer3+4

2017-11-24T07:35:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit b5f862180d7011d9575d0499fa37f0f25b423b12 ] After commit 07f4c90062f8 ("tcp/dccp: try to not exhaust ip_local_port_range in connect()"), we will try to use even ports for connect(). Then if an application (seen clearly with iperf) opens multiple streams to the same destination IP and port, each stream will be given an even source port. So the bonding driver's simple xmit_hash_policy based on layer3+4 addressing will always hash all these streams to the same interface. And the total throughput will limited to a single slave. Change the tcp code will impact the whole tcp behavior, only for bonding usage. Paolo Abeni suggested fix this by changing the bonding code only, which should be more reasonable, and less impact. Fix this by discarding the lowest hash bit because it contains little entropy. After the fix we can re-balance between slaves.

net: bonding: fix tlb_dynamic_lb default value

2017-10-12T09:56:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit f13ad104b4e886a03e75f130daf579ef9bf33dfc ] Commit 8b426dc54cf4 ("bonding: remove hardcoded value") changed the default value for tlb_dynamic_lb which lead to either broken ALB mode (since tlb_dynamic_lb can be changed only in TLB) or setting TLB mode with tlb_dynamic_lb equal to 0. The first issue was recently fixed by setting tlb_dynamic_lb to 1 always when switching to ALB mode, but the default value is still wrong and we'll enter TLB mode with tlb_dynamic_lb equal to 0 if the mode is changed via netlink or sysfs. In order to restore the previous behaviour and default value simply remove the mode check around the default param initialization for tlb_dynamic_lb which will always set it to 1 as before.

net: bonding: Fix transmit load balancing in balance-alb mode if specified by sysfs

2017-10-12T09:56:01+00:00

[ Upstream commit c6644d07eff6588b2dedf881279fb0d1c7783970 ] Commit cbf5ecb30560 ("net: bonding: Fix transmit load balancing in balance-alb mode") tried to fix transmit dynamic load balancing in balance-alb mode, which wasn't working after commit 8b426dc54cf4 ("bonding: remove hardcoded value"). It turned out that my previous patch only fixed the case when balance-alb was specified as bonding module parameter, and not when balance-alb mode was set using /sys/class/net/*/bonding/mode (the most common usage). In the latter case, tlb_dynamic_lb was set up according to the default mode of the bonding interface, which happens to be balance-rr. This additional patch addresses this issue by setting up tlb_dynamic_lb to 1 if "mode" is set to balance-alb through the sysfs interface. I didn't add code to change tlb_balance_lb back to the default value for other modes, because "mode" is usually set up only once during initialization, and it's not worthwhile to change the static variable bonding_defaults in bond_main.c to a global variable just for this purpose. Commit 8b426dc54cf4 also changes the value of tlb_dynamic_lb for balance-tlb mode if it is set up using the sysfs interface. I didn't change that behavior, because the value of tlb_balance_lb can be changed using the sysfs interface for balance-tlb, and I didn't like changing the default value back and forth for balance-tlb. As for balance-alb, /sys/class/net/*/bonding/tlb_balance_lb cannot be written to. However, I think balance-alb with tlb_dynamic_lb set to 0 is not an intended usage, so there is little use making it writable at this moment.

bonding: ratelimit failed speed/duplex update warning

2017-08-14T03:01:38+00:00

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. Fixes: b5bf0f5b16b9c (bonding: correctly update link status during mii-commit phase) Signed-off-by: Andreas Born Signed-off-by: David S.

bonding: require speed/duplex only for 802.3ad, alb and tlb

2017-08-11T21:21:42+00:00

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).

net: bonding: Fix transmit load balancing in balance-alb mode

2017-07-20T22:34:40+00:00

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.

bonding: avoid NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event when unregistering slave

2017-07-08T10:23:29+00:00

As Hongjun/Nicolas summarized in their original patch: " When a device changes from one netns to another, it's first unregistered, then the netns reference is updated and the dev is registered in the new netns. Thus, when a slave moves to another netns, it is first unregistered. This triggers a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event which is caught by the bonding driver. The driver calls bond_release(), which calls dev_set_mtu() and thus triggers NETDEV_CHANGEMTU (the device is still in the old netns). " This is a very special case, because the device is being unregistered no one should still care about the NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event triggered at this point, we can avoid broadcasting this event on this path, and avoid touching inetdev_event()/addrconf_notify() path. It requires to export __dev_set_mtu() to bonding driver.

Bonding: Convert multiple netdev_info messages to netdev_dbg

2017-06-29T16:21:37+00:00

The bond_options.c file contains multiple netdev_info statements that clutter kernel output. This patch replaces all netdev_info with netdev_dbg and adds a netdev_dbg statement for the packets per slave parameter. Also fixes misalignment at line 467.
