The bonding driver's use of master and slave, while largely understood
in technical circles, poses a barrier for inclusion to some potential
members of the development and user community, due to the historical
context of masters and slaves, particularly in the United States. This
is a first full pass at replacing those phrases with more socially
inclusive ones, opting for aggregator to replace master and link to
replace slave, as the bonding driver itself is a link aggregation
driver.

There are a few problems with this change. First up, "link" is used for
link state already in the bonding driver, so the first step here is to
rename link to link_state. Second, aggregator is already used in the
802.3ad code, but I feel the usage is actually consistent with referring
to the bonding aggregation virtual device as the aggregator. Third, we
have the issue of not wanting to break any existing userspace, which I
believe this patchset accomplishes, while also adding alternative
interfaces using new terminology, and a Kconfig option that will let
people make the conscious decision to break userspace and no longer
expose the original master/slave interfaces, once their userspace is
able to cope with their removal.

Lastly, we do still have the issue of ease of backporting fixes to
-stable trees. I've not had a huge amount of time to spend on it, but
brief forays into coccinelle didn't really pay off (since it's meant to
operate on code, not patches), and the best solution I can come up with
is providing a shell script someone could run over git-format-patch
output before git-am'ing the result to a -stable tree, though scripting
these changes in the first place turned out to be not the best thing to
do anyway, due to subtle cases where use of master or slave can NOT yet
be replaced, so a large amount of work was done by hand, inspection,
trial and error, which is why this set is a lot longer in coming than
I'd originally hoped. I don't expect -stable backports to be horrible to
figure out one way or another though, and I don't believe that a bit of
inconvenience on that front is enough to warrant not making these
changes.

See here for further details on Red Hat's commitment to this work:
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/making-open-source-more-inclusive-eradicating-problematic-language

As far as testing goes, I've manually operated on various bonds while
working on this code, and have run it through multiple lnst test runs,
which exercises the existing sysfs interfaces fairly extensively. As far
as I can tell, there is no breakage of existing interfaces with this
set, unless the user consciously opts to do so via Kconfig.

Jarod Wilson (5):
  bonding: rename struct slave member link to link_state
  bonding: rename slave to link where possible
  bonding: rename master to aggregator where possible
  bonding: make Kconfig toggle to disable legacy interfaces
  bonding: update Documentation for link/aggregator terminology

Necessary prep work to recycle the name "link" as a replacement for
"slave" in bonding driver terminology.

By default, enable retaining all user-facing API that includes the use of
master and slave, but add a Kconfig knob that allows those that wish to
remove it entirely do so in one shot.

Point users to the new interface names instead of the old ones, where
appropriate. Userspace bits referenced still include use of master/slave,
but those can't be altered until userspace changes too, ideally after
these changes propagate to the community at large.

I've been asked if it would be okay to add extra lines to the
/proc/net/bonding/<bond interface> output, so that for example, both
"Slave Interface: <interface>" and "Link Interface: <interface>" are
both in the default output, with the Slave bits then suppressed by the
Kconfig option being unset, versus the Kconfig option currently
swapping out Slave for Link when disabled. It would bloat the output
by a fair number of lines, but all the same data would be there and
parseable. Wasn't sure on this one, so I wanted to check on it. If it
would be acceptable, I'll rework that bit of code.

	First, I think there should be some direction from the kernel
development leadership as to whether or not this type of large-scale
search and replace of socially sensitive terms of art or other
terminology is a task that should be undertaken, given the noted issues
it will cause in stable release maintenance going forwards.

	Second, on the merits of the proposed changes (presuming for the
moment that this goes forward), I would prefer different nomenclature
that does not reuse existing names for different purposes, i.e., "link"
and "aggregator."

	Both of those have specific meanings in the current code, and
old kernels will retain that meaning.  Changing them to have new
meanings going forward will lead to confusion, in my opinion for no good
reason, as there are other names suited that do not conflict.

	For example, instead of "master" call everything a "bond," which
matches common usage in discussion.  Changing "master" to "aggregator,"
the replacement results in cumbersome descriptions like "the
aggregator's active aggregator" in the context of LACP.

	A replacement term for "slave" is trickier; my first choice
would be "port," but that may make more churn from a code change point
of view, although struct slave could become struct bond_port, and leave
the existing struct port for its current LACP use.

	I'm opposed to the Kconfig option because it will lead to
balkanization of the UAPI, which would be worse than a clean break
(which I'm also opposed to).

	I'm skeptical that, given the scope of the changes involved,
that it's really feasible to have effective automated massaging of
patches.  I think the reality is that a large fraction of the bonding
fixes in the future will have to be backported entirely by hand.  The
only saving grace here is that the quantity of such patches is generally
low (~40 in 2020 year to date).

Even if the module parameters are deprecated and extremely inconvenient
as a mean of bonding configuration, I would say changing their names
would still count as "breaking the userspace".

Why not just have a config option to remove all the /proc and sysfs options
in bonding (and bridging) and only use netlink? New tools should be only able
to use netlink only.

Then you might convince maintainers to update documentation as well.
Last I checked there were still references to ifenslave.

	I agree that new tooling should be netlink, but what value is
provided by such an option that distros are unlikely to enable, and
enabling will break the UAPI?

>Then you might convince maintainers to update documentation as well.

	Distros still include ifenslave, but it's now a shell script
that uses sysfs.  I see it used in scripts from time to time.

I totally agree.

Anything user facing has to be kept around for the deprecation period,
and that includes module parameters.

Some bleeding edge distros have already dropped ifenslave and even ifconfig.
The Enterprise ones never will.

The one motivation would be for the embedded folks which are always looking
to trim out the fat. Although not sure if the minimal versions of commands
in busybox are pure netlink yet.

Good attempt, robot, but you missed the #else. Will fold a full

Do you mean the initial proposed option, or what Stephen is
suggesting? I think Red Hat actually will consider the former, the
latter is less likely in the immediate future, since so many people
still rely on the output of /proc/net/bonding/* for an overall view of
their bonds' health and status. I don't know how close we are to
having something comparable that could be spit out with a single
invocation of something like 'ip' that would only be using netlink.
It's entirely possible there's something akin to 'ip link bondX
overview' already that outputs something similar, and I'm just not
aware of it, but something like that would definitely need to exist
and be well-documented for Red Hat to remove the procfs bits, I think.

Yeah, the bonding documentation is still filled with references to
ifenslave. I believe Red Hat still includes it, though it's
"deprecated" in documentation in favor of using ip. Similar with
ifconfig. I could see them both getting dropped in a future major
release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, but they're definitely still here
for at least the life of RHEL8.

	At the present time, as much as the idea spurs the imagination,
removing the bonding /proc and sysfs stuff wholesale is not feasible.
As you explain, not everything in the proc file is available from other
sources.  I would rather freeze the /proc and sysfs bonding
functionality and move to a netlink / iproute API for all of it, and
then down the road remove the then-legacy APIs.

	Even though "down the road" may practically be "never" (because
the removal breaks backwards compatibility for user space), unifying all
of the configuration and reporting to one place would be worthwhile.

	For "initial proposed option," I'm not sure right off if that's
referring to CONFIG_BONDING_LEGACY_INTERFACES or "duplicate lines in
/proc/net/bonding."  I'm not sure it matters, since both have the same
problem, in that they create a Venn diagram of mutually incompatible
bonding UAPIs.  Portable user space code ends up having to handle all of
the permutations.

	As ifconfig is typically bundled in with the much-loved netstat
in the net-tools package, it will be difficult to remove.

	Having an /sbin/ifenslave program isn't really the issue so much
as its reliance on the bonding sysfs UAPI.  It's a shell script, and
could likely be reworked to use ip link.

Apologies, that was a definite oversight on my part, can add them back
via similar means as num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na use currently.

Admittedly, part of the point of this patch is to help drive such
conversations. Having a concrete example of how these changes would
look makes it easier to discuss, I think. I understand the burden
here, though as you noted later, bonding doesn't really churn that
much, so in this specific case, the maintenance load wouldn't be
terrible, and I think worth it in this case, from a social standpoint.
I know this can start to get political and personal real fast
though...

I did briefly have the idea of renaming 'port' in the LACP code to
'lacp_port', which would allow reuse of 'port', and would then be
consistent with the team driver (and bridge driver, iirc). I could
certainly pursue that option, or try going with "bond_port", but I'd
like something so widely used throughout the code to be shorter if
possible, I think. It really is LACP that throws a wrench into most
sensible naming schemes I could think of. Simply renaming current
"master" to "bond" does make a fair bit of sense though, didn't really
occur to me. But replacing "slave" is definitely the far more involved
and messy one.

I suspected this might be a point of contention. Easy enough to simply
omit that bit from the series, if that's the consensus.

Yeah, requiring manual backporting by hand is a very distinct
possibility. As noted, such patches are usually pretty low in number,
and I'll note that they're also generally fairly small patches too. I
would be happy to help with any manual backporting as well, as a
consolation if scripting them doesn't really work out.
