6b923cb718 bonding: support for IPv6 transmit hashing
Currently the "bonding" driver does not support load balancing outgoing
traffic in LACP mode for IPv6 traffic. IPv4 (and TCP or UDP over IPv4)
are currently supported; this patch adds transmit hashing for IPv6 (and
TCP or UDP over IPv6), bringing IPv6 up to par with IPv4 support in the
bonding driver. In addition, bounds checking has been added to all
transmit hashing functions.

The algorithm chosen (xor'ing the bottom three quads of the source and
destination addresses together, then xor'ing each byte of that result into
the bottom byte, finally xor'ing with the last bytes of the MAC addresses)
was selected after testing almost 400,000 unique IPv6 addresses harvested
from server logs. This algorithm had the most even distribution for both
big- and little-endian architectures while still using few instructions. Its
behavior also attempts to closely match that of the IPv4 algorithm.

The IPv6 flow label was intentionally not included in the hash as it appears
to be unset in the vast majority of IPv6 traffic sampled, and the current
algorithm not using the flow label already offers a very even distribution.

Fragmented IPv6 packets are handled the same way as fragmented IPv4 packets,
ie, they are not balanced based on layer 4 information. Additionally,
IPv6 packets with intermediate headers are not balanced based on layer
4 information. In practice these intermediate headers are not common and
this should not cause any problems, and the alternative (a packet-parsing
loop and look-up table) seemed slow and complicated for little gain.

78286cdf05 Documentation: replace install commands with softdeps
Install commands should not be used to specify soft dependencies among
modules. When loading modules it's much better to have a softdep that
modprobe knows what's being done than having to fork/exec another
instance of modprobe to load the other module.

By using a softdep user has also an option to remove the dependencies
when removing the module (and if its refcount dropped to 0)

ad246c992b ipv4, ipv6, bonding: Restore control over number of peer notifications
For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and
sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications
(gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover.
Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new
active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer
notification should be deferred until it does.

Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer
notifications on bonding failover.

Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested.  Since
it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make
num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter.  Bump
the bonding version number and update its documentation.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

bb1d912323 bonding: allow user-controlled output slave selection
v2: changed bonding module version, modified to apply on top of changes
from previous patch in series, and updated documentation to elaborate on
multiqueue awareness that now exists in bonding driver.

This patch give the user the ability to control the output slave for
round-robin and active-backup bonding.  Similar functionality was
discussed in the past, but Jay Vosburgh indicated he would rather see a
feature like this added to existing modes rather than creating a
completely new mode.  Jay's thoughts as well as Neil's input surrounding
some of the issues with the first implementation pushed us toward a
design that relied on the queue_mapping rather than skb marks.
Round-robin and active-backup modes were chosen as the first users of
this slave selection as they seemed like the most logical choices when
considering a multi-switch environment.

Round-robin mode works without any modification, but active-backup does
require inclusion of the first patch in this series and setting
the 'all_slaves_active' flag.  This will allow reception of unicast traffic on
any of the backup interfaces.

This was tested with IPv4-based filters as well as VLAN-based filters
with good results.

More information as well as a configuration example is available in the
patch to Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.

In some cases there is not desirable to switch back to primary interface when
it's link recovers and rather stay with currently active one. We need to avoid
packetloss as much as we can in some cases. This is solved by introducing
primary_reselect option. Note that enslaved primary slave is set as current
active no matter what.

after change of option setting via sysfs, revised the documentation
update, and bumped the bonding version number.

5a31bec014 Bonding: fix zero address hole bug in arp_ip_target list
Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list
that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006).
Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now
copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the
zero entry at the end.  With this change we can now have
all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero
since there will be no addresses after it.

fd989c8332 bonding: alternate agg selection policies for 802.3ad
This patch implements alternative aggregator selection policies
for 802.3ad.  The existing policy, now termed "stable," selects the active
aggregator by greatest bandwidth, and only reselects a new aggregator
if the active aggregator is entirely disabled (no more ports or all ports
down).

	This patch adds two new policies: bandwidth and count, selecting
the active aggregator by total bandwidth (like the stable policy) or by
the number of ports in the aggregator, respectively.  These two policies
also differ from the stable policy in that they will reselect the active
aggregator when availability-related changes occur in the bond (e.g.,
link state change).

	This permits "gang failover" within 802.3ad, allowing redundant
aggregators along parallel paths to always maintain the "best" aggregator
as the active aggregator (rather than having to wait for the active to
entirely fail).

	This patch also updates the driver version to 3.5.0.

305d552acc bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failover
This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices,
especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses
configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko.

- Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the
   IPv6-specific routines.  Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds
   are supported.

- Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited
   IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event.
   Default is 1.

- Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions:

   ndisc_build_skb()
   ndisc_send_skb()

   These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to
   add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends
   shouldn't be asked to do this.  These two routines are basically
   __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order.

- Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond
   support to 3.4.0.

On failover, this new code will generate one packet:

- An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch
   learn that the address has moved to the new slave.

Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good
behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

3915c1e863 bonding: Add "follow" option to fail_over_mac
Add a "follow" selection for fail_over_mac.  This option
causes the MAC address to move from slave to slave as the active
slave changes.  This is in addition to the existing fail_over_mac option
that causes the bond's MAC address to change during failover.

	This new option is useful for devices that cannot tolerate
multiple ports using the same MAC address simultaneously, either
because it confuses them or incurs a performance penalty (as is the
case with some LPAR-aware multiport devices).  Because the MAC of the
bond itself does not change, the "follow" option is slightly more
reliable during failover and doesn't change the MAC of the bond during
operation.

	This patch requires a previous ARP monitor change to properly
handle RTNL during failovers.

6f6652be18 bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modes
Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Originally
 submitted by "Glenn Griffin" <ggriffin.kernel@gmail.com>; modified by
 Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
 documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.

	Glenn's original comment follows:

Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information.  This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy.  This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

00354cfb92 [PATCH] bonding: documentation update
Contains general updates (additional configuration info, hopefully
better examples, updated some out of date info, and a bonus pass
through ispell to banish the "paramters.") and info specific to
gratuitous ARP and xmit policy functionality already in 2.6.13-rc2.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
