[PATCH V5 0/11] net/bonding: ADD IPoIB support for the bonding driver

[PATCH V5 0/11] net/bonding: ADD IPoIB support for the bonding driver

[Moni Shoua]

This patch series is the fifth version (see below link to V4) of the 
suggested changes to the bonding driver so it would be able to support 
non ARPHRD_ETHER netdevices for its High-Availability (active-backup) mode. 

Patches 1-10 were originally submitted in V4 and patch 11 is an addition by Jay.

Jay,
The bonding patches you acked remain unchanged while I guess I sitll need
to get an official ack by Roland for the IPoIB patches.
Is it OK with you to push the entire series to the networking tree?
Roland has already agreed to do so.


Major changes from the previous version:
----------------------------------------
1. Style changes
2. IPoIB - notify slave detach on vlan delete
3. Add function to net/core for slave detach instead of having it only in
   ib/ipoib
4. IPoIB - handle ib device and bonding device the same way in neigh_cleanup
   function

Links to earlier discussion:
----------------------------

1. A discussion in netdev about bonding support for IPoIB.
http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2006/11/30/46

2. V4 series
http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2007-August/039825.html

[ofa-general] [PATCH V5 1/11] net/core: add a netdev notification for slave detach

[Moni Shoua]

A slave of a bonding master that wants to send a notification before
going down should call netdev_slave_detach(). The handling of this notification
will be done outside the context of unregister_netdevice() which is sometimes
necessary, as with IPoIB slave for example.

[PATCH V5 2/11] IB/ipoib: Notify the world before doing unregister

[Moni Shoua]

When the bonding device enslaves IPoIB devices it takes pointers to
functions in the ib_ipoib module. This is fine as long as the ib_ipoib
nodule remains loaded while the references to its functions exist.
So, to help bonding do a cleanup on time, when the IPoIB net device is a 
slave of a bonding master, let the master know that the IPoIB device is
about to unregister (but before calling unregister).

[ofa-general] [PATCH V5 3/11] IB/ipoib: Bound the net device to the ipoib_neigh structue

[Moni Shoua]

IPoIB uses a two layer neighboring scheme, such that for each struct neighbour
whose device is an ipoib one, there is a struct ipoib_neigh buddy which is
created on demand at the tx flow by an ipoib_neigh_alloc(skb->dst->neighbour)
call.

When using the bonding driver, neighbours are created by the net stack on behalf
of the bonding (master) device. On the tx flow the bonding code gets an skb such
that skb->dev points to the master device, it changes this skb to point on the
slave device and calls the slave hard_start_xmit function.

Under this scheme, ipoib_neigh_destructor assumption that for each struct
neighbour it gets, n->dev is an ipoib device and hence netdev_priv(n->dev)
can be casted to struct ipoib_dev_priv is buggy.

To fix it, this patch adds a dev field to struct ipoib_neigh which is used
instead of the struct neighbour dev one, when n->dev->flags has the
IFF_MASTER bit set.

[PATCH V5 4/11] IB/ipoib: Verify address handle validity on send

[Moni Shoua]

When the bonding device senses a carrier loss of its active slave it replaces
that slave with a new one. In between the times when the carrier of an IPoIB
device goes down and ipoib_neigh is destroyed, it is possible that the
bonding driver will send a packet on a new slave that uses an old ipoib_neigh.
This patch detects and prevents this from happenning.

[ofa-general] [PATCH V5 5/11] net/bonding: Enable bonding to enslave non ARPHRD_ETHER

[Moni Shoua]

This patch changes some of the bond netdevice attributes and functions
to be that of the active slave for the case of the enslaved device not being
of ARPHRD_ETHER type. Basically it overrides those setting done by ether_setup(),
which are netdevice **type** dependent and hence might be not appropriate for
devices of other types. It also enforces mutual exclusion on bonding slaves
from dissimilar ether types, as was concluded over the v1 discussion.

IPoIB (see Documentation/infiniband/ipoib.txt) MAC address is made of a 3 bytes
IB QP (Queue Pair) number and 16 bytes IB port GID (Global ID) of the port this
IPoIB device is bounded to. The QP is a resource created by the IB HW and the
GID is an identifier burned into the HCA (i have omitted here some details which
are not important for the bonding RFC).

[PATCH V5 6/11] net/bonding: Enable bonding to enslave netdevices not supporting set_mac_address()

[Moni Shoua]

This patch allows for enslaving netdevices which do not support
the set_mac_address() function. In that case the bond mac address is the one
of the active slave, where remote peers are notified on the mac address
(neighbour) change by Gratuitous ARP sent by bonding when fail-over occurs
(this is already done by the bonding code).

[ofa-general] [PATCH V5 7/11] net/bonding: Enable IP multicast for bonding IPoIB devices

[Moni Shoua]

Allow to enslave devices when the bonding device is not up. Over the discussion
held at the previous post this seemed to be the most clean way to go, where it
is not expected to cause instabilities.

Normally, the bonding driver is UP before any enslavement takes place.
Once a netdevice is UP, the network stack acts to have it join some multicast groups
(eg the all-hosts 224.0.0.1). Now, since ether_setup() have set the bonding device
type to be ARPHRD_ETHER and address len to be ETHER_ALEN, the net core code
computes a wrong multicast link address. This is b/c ip_eth_mc_map() is called
where for multicast joins taking place after the enslavement another ip_xxx_mc_map()
is called (eg ip_ib_mc_map() when the bond type is ARPHRD_INFINIBAND)

[PATCH V5 10/11] net/bonding: Destroy bonding master when last slave is gone

[Moni Shoua]

When bonding enslaves non Ethernet devices it takes pointers to functions 
in the module that owns the slaves. In this case it becomes unsafe
to keep the bonding master registered after last slave was unenslaved 
because we don't know if the pointers are still valid.  Destroying the bond when slave_cnt is zero
ensures that these functions be used anymore.

[PATCH V5 5/11] net/bonding: Enable bonding to enslave non ARPHRD_ETHER

[Moni Shoua]

This patch changes some of the bond netdevice attributes and functions
to be that of the active slave for the case of the enslaved device not being
of ARPHRD_ETHER type. Basically it overrides those setting done by ether_setup(),
which are netdevice **type** dependent and hence might be not appropriate for
devices of other types. It also enforces mutual exclusion on bonding slaves
from dissimilar ether types, as was concluded over the v1 discussion.

IPoIB (see Documentation/infiniband/ipoib.txt) MAC address is made of a 3 bytes
IB QP (Queue Pair) number and 16 bytes IB port GID (Global ID) of the port this
IPoIB device is bounded to. The QP is a resource created by the IB HW and the
GID is an identifier burned into the HCA (i have omitted here some details which
are not important for the bonding RFC).

[PATCH 11/11] bonding: Optionally allow ethernet slaves to keep own MAC

[Moni Shoua]

Update the "don't change MAC of slaves" functionality added in
previous changes to be a generic option, rather than something tied to IB
devices, as it's occasionally useful for regular ethernet devices as well.

	Adds "fail_over_mac" option (which is automatically enabled for IB
slaves), applicable only to active-backup mode.

	Includes documentation update.

	Updates bonding driver version to 3.2.0.

+fail_over_mac
+
+	Specifies whether active-backup mode should set all slaves to
+	the same MAC address (the traditional behavior), or, when
+	enabled, change the bond's MAC address when changing the
+	active interface (i.e., fail over the MAC address itself).
+
+	Fail over MAC is useful for devices that cannot ever alter
+	their MAC address, or for devices that refuse incoming
+	broadcasts with their own source MAC (which interferes with
+	the ARP monitor).
+
+	The down side of fail over MAC is that every device on the
+	network must be updated via gratuitous ARP, vs. just updating
+	a switch or set of switches (which often takes place for any
+	traffic, not just ARP traffic, if the switch snoops incoming
+	traffic to update its tables) for the traditional method.  If
+	the gratuitous ARP is lost, communication may be disrupted.
+
+	When fail over MAC is used in conjuction with the mii monitor,
+	devices which assert link up prior to being able to actually
+	transmit and receive are particularly susecptible to loss of
+	the gratuitous ARP, and an appropriate updelay setting may be
+	required.
+
+	A value of 0 disables fail over MAC, and is the default.  A
+	value of 1 enables fail over MAC.  This option is enabled
+	automatically if the first slave added cannot change its MAC
+	address.  This option may be modified via sysfs only when no
+	slaves are present in the bond.

Maybe you already answered this before, but I'm still not clear why
this notifier call can't just be added to the start of
unregister_netdevice(), so we can avoid having driver needing to know
anything about bonding internals?

 - R.

The action in bonding to a detach of slave is to unregister the master (see patch 10).
This can't be done from the context of unregister_netdevice itself (it is protected by rtnl_lock).

That's why I had to notify the detach before unregister begins.

I'm confused.  Your patch has:

 > +		ipoib_slave_detach(cpriv->dev);
 >  		unregister_netdev(cpriv->dev);

And ipoib_slave_detach() is:

so you are calling netdev_slave_detach() with the rtnl lock held.
Why can't you make the same call from the start of unregister_netdevice()?

Anyway, if the rtnl lock is a problem, can you just add the call to
netdev_slave_detach() to unregister_netdev() before it takes the rtnl lock?

 - R.

Your comment made me do a little rethinking.
In bonding, device is released by calling unregister_netdevice() that doesn't 
take the rtnl_lock (unlike unregister_netdev() that does). I guess that this made me 
confused to think that this is not possible. So, I guess I could put 
the detach notification in unregister_netedev() and the reaction to the notification 
in the bonding driver would not block.
However, I looked one more time at the code of unregister_netdevice() and found out that
nothing prevents from calling unregister_netdevice() again when the notification NETDEV_GOING_DOWN
is sent. I tried that and it works.
I have a new set of patches without sending a slave detach and I will send it soon.

Thanks for the comment Roland. It makes this patch simpler.

I'd also like to give a credit to Jay for the idea of using NETDEV_GOING_DOWN notification
instead of NETDEV_CHANGE+IFF_SLAVE_DETACH. He suggested it a while ago but I wrongly thought that
it wouldn't work.
