      bonding: populate neighbour's private on enslave · 1f718f0f
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      
      
      Use the new provided function when attaching the lower slave to populate
      its ->private with struct slave *new_slave. Also, move it to the end to
      be able to 'find' it only after it was completely initialized, and
      deinitialize in the first place on release.

      net: add netdev_adjacent->private and allow to use it · 402dae96
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      
      
      Currently, even though we can access any linked device, we can't attach
      anything to it, which is vital to properly manage them.
      
      To fix this, add a new void *private to netdev_adjacent and functions
      setting/getting it (per link), so that we can save, per example, bonding's
      slave structures there, per slave device.
      
      netdev_master_upper_dev_link_private(dev, upper_dev, private) links dev to
      upper dev and populates the neighbour link only with private.
      
      netdev_lower_dev_get_private{,_rcu}() returns the private, if found.

      net: add RCU variant to search for netdev_adjacent link · 5249dec7
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      
      
      Currently we have only the RTNL flavour, however we can traverse it while
      holding only RCU, so add the RCU search. Add an RCU variant that uses
      list_head * as an argument, so that it can be universally used afterwards.

      net: add adj_list to save only neighbours · 2f268f12
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      
      
      Currently, we distinguish neighbours (first-level linked devices) from
      non-neighbours by the neighbour bool in the netdev_adjacent. This could be
      quite time-consuming in case we would like to traverse *only* through
      neighbours - cause we'd have to traverse through all devices and check for
      this flag, and in a (quite common) scenario where we have lots of vlans on
      top of bridge, which is on top of a bond - the bonding would have to go
      through all those vlans to get its upper neighbour linked devices.
      
      This situation is really unpleasant, cause there are already a lot of cases
      when a device with slaves needs to go through them in hot path.
      
      To fix this, introduce a new upper/lower device lists structure -
      adj_list, which contains only the neighbours. It works always in
      pair with the all_adj_list structure (renamed from upper/lower_dev_list),
      i.e. both of them contain the same links, only that all_adj_list contains
      also non-neighbour device links. It's really a small change visible,
      currently, only for __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert/remove(), and doesn't
      change the main linked logic at all.
      
      Also, add some comments a fix a name collision in
      netdev_for_each_upper_dev_rcu() and rework the naming by the following
      rules:
      
      netdev_(all_)(upper|lower)_*
      
      If "all_" is present, then we work with the whole list of upper/lower
      devices, otherwise - only with direct neighbours. Uninline functions - to
      get better stack traces.

      net: use lists as arguments instead of bool upper · 7863c054
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      
      
      Currently we make use of bool upper when we want to specify if we want to
      work with upper/lower list. It's, however, harder to read, debug and
      occupies a lot more code.
      
      Fix this by just passing the correct upper/lower_dev_list list_head pointer
      instead of bool upper, and work internally with it.

      net: neighbour: use source address of last enqueued packet for solicitation · 4ed377e3
      Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
      
      
      Currently we always use the first member of the arp_queue to determine
      the sender ip address of the arp packet (or in case of IPv6 - source
      address of the ndisc packet). This skb is fixed as long as the queue is
      not drained by a complete purge because of a timeout or by a successful
      response.
      
      If the first packet enqueued on the arp_queue is from a local application
      with a manually set source address and the to be discovered system
      does some kind of uRPF checks on the source address in the arp packet
      the resolving process hangs until a timeout and restarts. This hurts
      communication with the participating network node.
      
      This could be mitigated a bit if we use the latest enqueued skb's
      source address for the resolving process, which is not as static as
      the arp_queue's head. This change of the source address could result in
      better recovery of a failed solicitation.
