From 07a4ddec3ce9b0a533b5f90f582f1057390d5e63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Bernat Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 19:43:54 +0200 Subject: bonding: add an option to specify a delay between peer notifications Currently, gratuitous ARP/ND packets are sent every `miimon' milliseconds. This commit allows a user to specify a custom delay through a new option, `peer_notif_delay'. Like for `updelay' and `downdelay', this delay should be a multiple of `miimon' to avoid managing an additional work queue. The configuration logic is copied from `updelay' and `downdelay'. However, the default value cannot be set using a module parameter: Netlink or sysfs should be used to configure this feature. When setting `miimon' to 100 and `peer_notif_delay' to 500, we can observe the 500 ms delay is respected: 20:30:19.354693 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28 20:30:19.874892 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28 20:30:20.394919 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28 20:30:20.914963 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28 In bond_mii_monitor(), I have tried to keep the lock logic readable. The change is due to the fact we cannot rely on a notification to lower the value of `bond->send_peer_notif' as `NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS' is only triggered once every N times, while we need to decrement the counter each time. iproute2 also needs to be updated to be able to specify this new attribute through `ip link'.
