[PATCH net-next] Bonding: add per port priority support

[PATCH net-next] Bonding: add per port priority support

[Hangbin Liu]

Add per port priority support for bonding. A higher number means higher
priority. The primary slave still has the highest priority. This option
also follows the primary_reselect rules.

This option could only be configured via netlink.

[PATCH iproute2-next] iplink: bond_slave: add per port prio support

[Hangbin Liu]

Add per port priority support for bonding. A higher number means
higher priority. This option is only valid for active-backup(1),
balance-tlb (5) and balance-alb (6) mode.

	The above description (and the Subject) should mention that this

events.

	Why used signed instead of unsigned?

	Regardless, the valid range for the prio value should be
documented.

OK, will update it. How about:

Bonding: add per port priority for current slave re-selection during failover

Add per port priority support for bonding current re-selection during failover.
A higher number means higher priority in selection. The primary slave still
has the highest priority. This option also follows the primary_reselect rules.

I did this in purpose as team also use singed number. User could use a
negative number for a specific link while other links keep using default 0.

BTW, how to document the valid ranger for a int number, -2^31 ~ 2^31-1 or
INT_MIN ~ INT_MAX.

Not sure this comment is necessary, it doesn't add any value. Also I 
would recommend using bonding's options management, as it would allow 
for checking if the value is in a defined range. That might not be 
particularly useful in this context since it appears +/-INT_MAX is the 
range.

Also, in the Documentation it is mentioned that this parameter is only 
used in modes active-backup and balance-alb/tlb. Do we need to send an 
error message back preventing the modification of this value when not in 
these modes?

Do we want a struct slave_params here instead? That would allow us to 
define defaults in a central place and set them once instead of setting 
each parameter.

	That would be better, but something like "add per-port priority
for failover re-selection" would be a bit shorter.

	This seems reasonable.

	Fair enough; I had been comparing to the LACP port priority and
route metric, both of which are unsigned.

	The documentation can simply state that the value is a signed 32
bit integer (rather than giving the specifics).

	Agreed, on both the comment and in regards to using the extant
bonding options management stuff.

	Presuming that you mean creating a sub-struct here and moving
some set of members of struct slave into it, I'm not sure I see the
benefit, as it would only exist here and not really be an independent
object.  Am I misunderstanding?

You are understanding correctly. The goal of this work is to eventually 
port the majority of the per-port parameters that exist in teaming to 
bonding, we have not determined the entire set that make sense. Thus 
there will be more than just port priority as a userspace configurable 
option. So I was attempting to ask if modeling the initial setting of 
these parameters like how `bonding_defaults` is used, made sense.

file: drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:
	void bond_setup(struct net_device *bond_dev)
	{
		struct bonding *bond = netdev_priv(bond_dev);

		spin_lock_init(&bond->mode_lock);
		bond->params = bonding_defaults;
	...


We can always refactor this area when there is another option that needs 
setting.

Hi Jay,

As Jon said, I'm working to implement/import teaming specific features to
bonding, so users could have more choice. One import feature teaming has is
per-port parameters/configurations. A part of the per-port configs are
queue_id, prio, lacp_prio, lacp_key, etc. Most of the configs are link_watch
parameters. Which means each port/slave has it's own delay up, delay down,
interval, arp targets, etc. We are still discussing if bonding need all of
them or just a part.

Do you see if it's valuable to add all the per-port link watch configurations
to bonding?

Thanks

those last 2 lines can go on the first.

Also, seems like a man page should be updated as well.

Hi Jav, Jon,

I remembered the reason why I didn't use bond default option management.

It's because the bonding options management only take bond and values. We
need to create an extra string to save the slave name and option values.
Then in bond option setting function we extract the info from the string
and do setting again, like the bond_option_queue_id_set().

I think this is too heavy for just an int value setting for slave.
As we only support netlink for new options. There is no need to handle
string setting via sysfs. For mode checking, we do just do like:

if (!bond_uses_primary(bond))
	return -EACCES;

So why bother the bonding options management? What do you think?
Do you have a easier way to get the slave name in options management?
If yes, I'm happy to use the default option management.

Thanks

Hi Jay,

I'm still waiting for your comments before post v2 patch. Appreciate if you
could have a better way about handling the slave name in options management.
