2014-01-13bonding: fix __get_active_agg() RCU logicVeaceslav Falico
Currently, the implementation is meaningless - once again, we take the slave structure and use it after we've exited RCU critical section. Fix this by removing the rcu_read_lock() from __get_active_agg(), and ensuring that all its callers are holding RCU.

2014-01-13bonding: fix __get_first_agg RCU usageVeaceslav Falico
Currently, the RCU read lock usage is just wrong - it gets the slave struct under RCU and continues to use it when RCU lock is released. However, it's still safe to do this cause we didn't need the rcu_read_lock() initially - all of the __get_first_agg() callers are either holding RCU read lock or the RTNL lock, so that we can't sync while in it.

2014-01-13bonding: fix bond_3ad_set_carrier() RCU usageVeaceslav Falico
Currently, its usage is just plainly wrong. It first gets a slave under RCU, and, after releasing the RCU lock, continues to use it - whilst it can be freed. Fix this by ensuring that bond_3ad_set_carrier() holds RCU till it uses its slave (or its agg).

2014-01-10net: core: explicitly select a txq before doing l2 forwardingJason Wang
Currently, the tx queue were selected implicitly in ndo_dfwd_start_xmit(). The will cause several issues: - NETIF_F_LLTX were removed for macvlan, so txq lock were done for macvlan instead of lower device which misses the necessary txq synchronization for lower device such as txq stopping or frozen required by dev watchdog or control path. - dev_hard_start_xmit() was called with NULL txq which bypasses the net device watchdog. - dev_hard_start_xmit() does not check txq everywhere which will lead a crash when tso is disabled for lower device. Fix this by explicitly introducing a new param for .ndo_select_queue() for just selecting queues in the case of l2 forwarding offload. netdev_pick_tx() was also extended to accept this parameter and dev_queue_xmit_accel() was used to do l2 forwarding transmission. With this fixes, NETIF_F_LLTX could be preserved for macvlan and there's no need to check txq against NULL in dev_hard_start_xmit(). Also there's no need to keep a dedicated ndo_dfwd_start_xmit() and we can just reuse the code of dev_queue_xmit() to do the transmission. In the future, it was also required for macvtap l2 forwarding support since it provides a necessary synchronization method.

2013-12-14bonding: add RCU for bond_3ad_state_machine_handler()dingtianhong
The bond_3ad_state_machine_handler() use the bond lock to protect the bond slave list and slave port together, but it is not enough, the bond slave list was link and unlink in RTNL, not bond lock, so I add RCU to protect the slave list from leaving. The bond lock is still used here, because when the slave has been removed from the list by the time the state machine runs, it appears to be possible for both function to manupulate the same aggregator->lag_ports by finding the aggregator via two different ports that are both members of that aggregator (i.e., port A of the agg is being unbound, and port B of the agg is runing its state machine). If I remove the bond lock, there are nothing to mutex changes to aggregator->lag_ports between bond_3ad_state_machine_handler and bond_3ad_unbind_slave, So the bond lock is the simplest way to protect aggregator->lag_ports. There was a lot of function need RCU protect, I have two choice to make the function in RCU-safe, (1) create new similar functions and make the bond slave list in RCU. (2) modify the existed functions and make them in read-side critical section, because the RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. I choose (2) because it is no need to create more similar functions. The nots in the function is still too old, clean up the nots.

The bond_mii_monitor() still use bond lock to protect bond slave list, it is no effect, I have 2 way to fix the problem, move the RTNL to the top of the function, or add RCU to protect the bond slave list, according to the Jay Vosburgh's opinion, 10 times one second is a truely big performance loss if use RTNL to protect the whole monitor, so I would take the advice and use RCU to protect the bond slave list. The bond_has_slave() will not protect by anything, there will no things happen if the slave list is be changed, unless the bond was free, but it will not happened before the monitor, the bond will closed before be freed. The peers notify for the bond will calling curr_active_slave, so derefence the slave to make sure we will accessing the same slave if the curr_active_slave changed, as the rcu dereference need in read-side critical sector and bond_change_active_slave() will call it with no RCU hold, so add peer notify in rcu_read_lock which will be nested in monitor.
