* bonding: Rework / fix multiple gratuitous ARP supportJay Vosburgh2008-06-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for sending multiple gratuitous ARPs during failovers was added by commit: commit 7893b2491a2d5f716540ac5643d78d37a7f6628b Author: Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com> Date: Sat May 17 21:10:12 2008 -0700 bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes over This change modifies that support to remove duplicated code, add support for ARP monitor (the original only supported miimon), clear the grat ARP counter in bond_close (lest a later "ifconfig up" immediately start spewing ARPs), and add documentation for the module parameter. Also updated driver version to 3.3.0. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
* bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_macJay Vosburgh2008-05-221-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a "follow" selection for fail_over_mac. This option causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active slave changes. This is in addition to the existing fail_over_mac option that causes the bond's MAC address to change during failover. This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices). Because the MAC of the bond itself does not change, the "follow" option is slightly more reliable during failover and doesn't change the MAC of the bond during operation. This patch requires a previous ARP monitor change to properly handle RTNL during failovers. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
* bonding: refactor ARP active-backup monitorJay Vosburgh2008-05-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor ARP monitor for active-backup mode. The motivation for this is to take care of locking issues in a clear manner (particularly to correctly handle RTNL vs. the bonding locks). Currently, the a-b ARP monitor does not hold RTNL at all, but future changes will require RTNL during ARP monitor failovers. Rather than using conditional locking, this patch instead breaks up the ARP monitor into three discrete steps: inspection, commit changes, and probe. The inspection phase marks slaves that require link state changes. The commit phase is only called if inspection detects that changes are needed, and is called with RTNL. Lastly, the probe phase issues the ARP probes that the inspection phase uses to determine link state. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
* bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes overMoni Shoua2008-05-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With IPoIB, reception of gratuitous ARP by neighboring hosts is essential for a successful change of slaves in case of failure. Otherwise, they won't learn about the HW address change and need to wait a long time until the neighboring system gives up and sends an ARP request to learn the new HW address. This patch decreases the chance for a lost of a gratuitous ARP packet by sending it more than once. The number retries is configurable and can be set with a module param.

* bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modesJay Vosburgh2007-12-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Originally submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2. Glenn's original comment follows: Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information. This is a middle ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the layer3+4 policy. This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link. As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the layer2 only policy.

The current method simply examines the slave device to see if it has sent and received traffic; this can be fooled by extraneous traffic.
