hsr: Synchronize sending frames to have always incremented outgoing seq nr.
Sending frames via the hsr (master) device requires a sequence number which is tracked in hsr_priv::sequence_nr and protected by hsr_priv::seqnr_lock. Each time a new frame is sent, it will obtain a new id and then send it via the slave devices. Each time a packet is sent (via hsr_forward_do()) the sequence number is checked via hsr_register_frame_out() to ensure that a frame is not handled twice. This make sense for the receiving side to ensure that the frame is not injected into the stack twice after it has been received from both slave ports. There is no locking to cover the sending path which means the following scenario is possible: CPU0 CPU1 hsr_dev_xmit(skb1) hsr_dev_xmit(skb2) fill_frame_info() fill_frame_info() hsr_fill_frame_info() hsr_fill_frame_info() handle_std_frame() handle_std_frame() skb1's sequence_nr = 1 skb2's sequence_nr = 2 hsr_forward_do() hsr_forward_do() hsr_register_frame_out(, 2) // okay, send) hsr_register_frame_out(, 1) // stop, lower seq duplicate Both skbs (or their struct hsr_frame_info) received an unique id. However since skb2 was sent before skb1, the higher sequence number was recorded in hsr_register_frame_out() and the late arriving skb1 was dropped and never sent. This scenario has been observed in a three node HSR setup, with node1 + node2 having ping and iperf running in parallel. From time to time ping reported a missing packet. Based on tracing that missing ping packet did not leave the system. It might be possible (didn't check) to drop the sequence number check on the sending side. But if the higher sequence number leaves on wire before the lower does and the destination receives them in that order and it will drop the packet with the lower sequence number and never inject into the stack. Therefore it seems the only way is to lock the whole path from obtaining the sequence number and sending via dev_queue_xmit() and assuming the packets leave on wire in the same order (and don't get reordered by the NIC). Cover the whole path for the master interface from obtaining the ID until after it has been forwarded via hsr_forward_skb() to ensure the skbs are sent to the NIC in the order of the assigned sequence numbers.
