[PATCH net v3 0/2] bonding: 802.3ad: fix no transmission of LACPDUs

[Jonathan Toppins]

The first patch adds some kselftest infrastructure and the reproducer
that demonstrates the problem. The second patch fixes the issue.

v3:
 * rebased to latest net/master
 * addressed comment from Hangbin

[PATCH net v3 1/2] selftests: include bonding tests into the kselftest infra

[Jonathan Toppins]

This creates a test collection in drivers/net/bonding for bonding
specific kernel selftests.

The first test is a reproducer that provisions a bond and given the
specific order in how the ip-link(8) commands are issued the bond never
transmits an LACPDU frame on any of its slaves.

Notes:
    v2:
     * fully integrated the test into the kselftests infrastructure
     * moved the reproducer to under
       tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/bonding
     * reduced the test to its minimial amount and used ip-link(8) for
       all bond interface configuration
    v3:
     * rebase to latest net/master
     * remove `#set -x` requested by Hangbin

[PATCH net v3 2/2] bonding: 802.3ad: fix no transmission of LACPDUs

[Jonathan Toppins]

This is caused by the global variable ad_ticks_per_sec being zero as
demonstrated by the reproducer script discussed below. This causes
all timer values in __ad_timer_to_ticks to be zero, resulting
in the periodic timer to never fire.

To reproduce:
Run the script in
`tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/bonding/bond-break-lacpdu-tx.sh` which
puts bonding into a state where it never transmits LACPDUs.

line 44: ip link add fbond type bond mode 4 miimon 200 \
            xmit_hash_policy 1 ad_actor_sys_prio 65535 lacp_rate fast
setting bond param: ad_actor_sys_prio
given:
    params.ad_actor_system = 0
call stack:
    bond_option_ad_actor_sys_prio()
    -> bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings()
       -> set ad.system.sys_priority = bond->params.ad_actor_sys_prio
       -> ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr; because
            params.ad_actor_system == 0
results:
     ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr

line 48: ip link set fbond address 52:54:00:3B:7C:A6
setting bond MAC addr
call stack:
    bond->dev->dev_addr = new_mac

line 52: ip link set fbond type bond ad_actor_sys_prio 65535
setting bond param: ad_actor_sys_prio
given:
    params.ad_actor_system = 0
call stack:
    bond_option_ad_actor_sys_prio()
    -> bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings()
       -> set ad.system.sys_priority = bond->params.ad_actor_sys_prio
       -> ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr; because
            params.ad_actor_system == 0
results:
     ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr

line 60: ip link set veth1-bond down master fbond
given:
    params.ad_actor_system = 0
    params.mode = BOND_MODE_8023AD
    ad.system.sys_mac_addr == bond->dev->dev_addr
call stack:
    bond_enslave
    -> bond_3ad_initialize(); because first slave
       -> if ad.system.sys_mac_addr != bond->dev->dev_addr
          return
results:
     Nothing is run in bond_3ad_initialize() because dev_add equals
     sys_mac_addr leaving the global ad_ticks_per_sec zero as it is
     never initialized anywhere else.

	I still feel like this is kind of a hack, as it's not really
fixing bond_3ad_initialize to actually work (which is the real problem
as I understand it).  If it's ok to skip all that for this case, then
why do we ever need to call bond_3ad_initialize?

The way it is currently written you still need to call 
bond_3ad_initialize() just not for setting the tick resolution. The 
issue here is ad_ticks_per_sec is used in several places to calculate 
timer periods, __ad_timer_to_ticks(), for various timers in the 802.3ad 
protocol. And if this variable, ad_ticks_per_sec, is left uninitialized 
all of these timer periods go to zero. Since the value passed in 
bond_3ad_initialize() is an immediate value I simply moved it off of the 
call stack and set the static global variable instead.

To fix bond_3ad_initialize(), probably something like the below is 
needed, but I do not understand why the guard if check was placed in 
bond_3ad_initialize().

I looked at the history of the if guard in bond_3ad_initialize and it 
has existed since the creation of the git tree. It appears since commit 
5ee14e6d336f ("bonding: 3ad: apply ad_actor settings changes 
immediately") the if guard is no longer needed and removing the if guard 
would also fix the problem, I have not tested yet.

I think this patch series can be accepted as-is because, it does fix the 
issue as demonstrated by the kselftest accompanying the series and is 
the smallest change to fix the issue.

Further, I don't see why we want to set the file-scoped variable, 
ad_ticks_per_sec, inside bond_3ad_initialize() as ad_ticks_per_sec is 
utilized across all bonds. It seems like ad_ticks_per_sec should be 
changed to a const and set at the top of the file. I see no value in 
passing the value as an unnamed constant on the stack when 
bond_3ad_initialize is called. These changes however could be done in 
the net-next tree as follow-on cleanup patches.

Jay, how would you like to proceed?

[...]

Thanks,
-Jon

	The logic in bond_3ad_initialize probably came that way when the
code was contributed sometime during 2.4.x.

	Curiosity got the better of me, and I looked at the 2.4.35 code.
I'm not sure what the point of the test was even then, since
bond_3ad_initialize is only called when adding a first interface to the
bond, and there wasn't a way to tweak the sys_mac_addr then.

	In the current code, I think the if test could fail if
sys_mac_addr is set manually to be equal to the bond's MAC prior to
adding the first interface to the bond.  As far as I can tell, the only
result of failing the MAC test would be that the agg selection timer
wouldn't be started, which is an optimization to reduce LACP aggregator
flailing when multiple interfaces are added at the same time (IEEE
802.1AX-2000 6.4.9 and 6.4.12.1.n).

	I don't have issue with moving ad_ticks_per_sec to a file scope
constant.  The minimal change here, though, is effectively making the
tick_resolution parameter to bond_3ad_initialize be ignored, even though
the compiler won't complain about it.

	Given that there is already mystery in how some of this works,
I'd prefer the patches to make the code clearer, so my vote is for the
"fix it right" method, i.e., make ad_ticks_per_sec a real constant,
remove the tick_resolution parameter from bond_3ad_initialize and drop
the "if MAC_ADDRESS_COMPARE" test therein.
