    net: bonding: fix bond_xmit_broadcast return value error bug · 4e5bd03a
    Jie Wang authored
    In Linux bonding scenario, one packet is copied to several copies and sent
    by all slave device of bond0 in mode 3(broadcast mode). The mode 3 xmit
    function bond_xmit_broadcast() only ueses the last slave device's tx result
    as the final result. In this case, if the last slave device is down, then
    it always return NET_XMIT_DROP, even though the other slave devices xmit
    success. It may cause the tx statistics error, and cause the application
    (e.g. scp) consider the network is unreachable.
    
    For example, use the following command to configure server A.
    
    echo 3 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
    ifconfig bond0 up
    ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1
    ifconfig bond0 192.168.1.125
    ifconfig eth0 up
    ifconfig eth1 down
    The slave device eth0 and eth1 are connected to server B(192.168.1.107).
    Run the ping 192.168.1.107 -c 3 -i 0.2 command, the following information
    is displayed.
    
    PING 192.168.1.107 (192.168.1.107) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.077 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.056 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.051 ms
    
     192.168.1.107 ping statistics
    0 packets transmitted, 3 received
    
    Actually, the slave device eth0 of the bond successfully sends three
    ICMP packets, but the result shows that 0 packets are transmitted.
    
    Also if we use scp command to get remote files, the command end with the
    following printings.
    
    ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection timed out
    
    So this patch modifies the bond_xmit_broadcast to return NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
    if one slave device in the bond sends packets successfully. If all slave
    devices send packets fail, the discarded packets stats is increased. The
    skb is released when there is no slave device in the bond or the last slave
    device is down.
