When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems. What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies updating this specific client. The same process happens on the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp replies. See more information including the relevant functions below: System 1 System 2 bond0 bond0 ping <system2> ARP request ---------> <--------- ARP reply +->rlb_arp_recv <---------------------+ <--- loop begins | rlb_update_entry_from_arp | | client_info->ntt = 1; | | bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; | | | | <communication succeed> | | | | bond_alb_monitor | | rlb_update_rx_clients | | rlb_update_client | | arp_create(ARPOP_REPLY) | | send ARP reply --------------> V | send ARP reply --------------> | rlb_arp_recv | rlb_update_entry_from_arp | client_info->ntt = 1; | bond_info->rx_ntt = 1; | < snipped, same as in system 1> +------- <-------------- send ARP reply <-------------- send ARP reply Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply poisoning the network. This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later. Signed-off-by:Flavio Leitner <fleitner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:

This patch added to 2.6.34: commit 5f6c0181 Author: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Date: Wed Apr 14 16:04:23 2010 -0700 ixgbe: fix bug with vlan strip in promsic mode among other things added a function called ixgbe_vlan_filter_enable. This new function wants to access and set some rx_ring parameters, but adapter->rx_ring has already been freed. This simply moves the free until after the access and makes __ixgbe_shutdown look more like ixgbe_remove. Signed-off-by:

struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data fields. It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional commands. These commands should have been defined to use a new structure, but it is too late to change that now. Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and from user-space.

On a 32-bit machine, info.rule_cnt >= 0x40000000 leads to integer overflow and the buffer may be smaller than needed. Since ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL is unprivileged, this can presumably be used for at least denial of service. Signed-off-by:

Support for netpoll over bonded interfaces was added here: commit f6dc31a8 Author: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Date: Thu May 6 00:48:51 2010 -0700 bonding: make bonding support netpoll but it is bad enough that we should probably just disable netpoll over bonding until some of the locking logic in the bonding driver is changed or converted completely to RCU. Simple actions like changing the active slave in active-backup mode will hang the box if a high enough printk debugging level is enabled. Keeping the old code around will be good for anyone that wants to work on it (and for after the RCU conversion), so I propose this small patch rather than ripping it all out. Signed-off-by:

When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK for 5000 series and up. Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting, connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that initially attempted to address this: commit 1152dcc2 Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Date: Fri Jan 15 13:42:58 2010 -0800 iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000 Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design. Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues. For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self protection. Signed-off-by:Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

commit 3474ad63 Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Thu Apr 29 04:43:05 2010 -0700 iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_, which the new code no longer did, and normally it _never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually, the code prior to my patch there would have been broken already. The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending on the default filter in the device, which isn't necessarily what we want (since we don't program it right now). Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway. Reported-by:

There are few places where ANI is started without checking if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic. This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset(). This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen with ar9003 + paprd.

This removes dma_get_ops() prefetch optimization in bnx2. bnx2 uses dma_get_ops() to see if dma_sync_single_for_cpu() is noop. bnx2 does prefetch if it's noop. But dma_get_ops() isn't available on all the architectures (only the architectures that uses dma_map_ops struct have it). Using dma_get_ops() in drivers leads to compilation breakage on many architectures. This patch removes dma_get_ops() and changes bnx2 to do prefetch on all the architectures. This adds useless prefetch on non-coherent architectures but this is harmless. It is also unlikely to cause the performance drop. [ Remove now unused local variable 'pdev' -DaveM ] Signed-off-by:
