2023-05-10Documentation: bonding: fix the doc of peer_notif_delayHangbin Liu
Bonding only supports setting peer_notif_delay with miimon set. Fixes: 0307d589c4d6 ("bonding: add documentation for peer_notif_delay") Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2022-12-02Documentation: bonding: correct xmit hash stepsJonathan Toppins
Correct xmit hash steps for layer3+4 as introduced by commit 49aefd131739 ("bonding: do not discard lowest hash bit for non layer3+4 hashing"). Signed-off-by: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2022-12-02Documentation: bonding: update miimon default to 100Jonathan Toppins
With commit c1f897ce186a ("bonding: set default miimon value for non-arp modes if not set") the miimon default was changed from zero to 100 if arp_interval is also zero. Document this fact in bonding.rst. Fixes: c1f897ce186a ("bonding: set default miimon value for non-arp modes if not set") Signed-off-by: Jonathan Toppins <jtoppins@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2022-08-30Documentation: bonding: clarify supported modes for tlb_dynamic_lbFernando Fernandez Mancera
tlb_dynamic_lb bonding option is compatible with balance-tlb and balance-alb modes. In order to be consistent with other option documentation, it should mention both modes not only balance-tlb.

ARP monitoring no longer depends on dev->last_rx or dev_trans_start(), so delete this information. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
2022-06-24Bonding: add per-port priority for failover re-selectionHangbin Liu
Add per port priority support for bonding active slave 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. This option could only be configured via netlink.

2022-04-08bonding: Update layer2 and layer2+3 hash formula documentationGal Pressman
When using layer2 or layer2+3 hash, only the 5th byte of the MAC addresses is used. Signed-off-by: Gal Pressman <gal@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2022-02-21bonding: add new option ns_ip6_targetHangbin Liu
This patch add a new bonding option ns_ip6_target, which correspond to the arp_ip_target. With this we set IPv6 targets and send IPv6 NS request to determine the health of the link. For other related options like the validation, we still use arp_validate, and will change to ns_validate later. Note: the sysfs configuration support was removed based on https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/8863.1645071997@famine Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-12-21bonding: fix ad_actor_system option setting to defaultFernando Fernandez Mancera
When 802.3ad bond mode is configured the ad_actor_system option is set to "00:00:00:00:00:00". But when trying to set the all-zeroes MAC as actors' system address it was failing with EINVAL. An all-zeroes ethernet address is valid, only multicast addresses are not valid values.

2021-11-30Bonding: add arp_missed_max optionHangbin Liu
Currently, we use hard code number to verify if we are in the arp_interval timeslice. But some user may want to reduce/extend the verify timeslice. With the similar team option 'missed_max' the uers could change that number based on their own environment.

2021-08-03bonding: add new option lacp_activeHangbin Liu
Add an option lacp_active, which is similar with team's runner.active. This option specifies whether to send LACPDU frames periodically. If set on, the LACPDU frames are sent along with the configured lacp_rate setting. If set off, the LACPDU frames acts as "speak when spoken to". Note, the LACPDU state frames still will be sent when init or unbind port. v2: remove module parameter Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-01-19bonding: add a vlan+srcmac tx hashing optionJarod Wilson
This comes from an end-user request, where they're running multiple VMs on hosts with bonded interfaces connected to some interest switch topologies, where 802.3ad isn't an option. They're currently running a proprietary solution that effectively achieves load-balancing of VMs and bandwidth utilization improvements with a similar form of transmission algorithm. Basically, each VM has it's own vlan, so it always sends its traffic out the same interface, unless that interface fails. Traffic gets split between the interfaces, maintaining a consistent path, with failover still available if an interface goes down. Unlike bond_eth_hash(), this hash function is using the full source MAC address instead of just the last byte, as there are so few components to the hash, and in the no-vlan case, we would be returning just the last byte of the source MAC as the hash value. It's entirely possible to have two NICs in a bond with the same last byte of their MAC, but not the same MAC, so this adjustment should guarantee distinct hashes in all cases. This has been rudimetarily tested to provide similar results to the proprietary solution it is aiming to replace. A patch for iproute2 is also posted, to properly support the new mode there as well.
