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.

Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
|
|
|
|
type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
|
|
|
|
coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
|
|
|
|
pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
|
|
|
|
hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
|
|
|
|
100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
|
|
|
|
100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
|
|
|
|
cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
|
|
|
|
[the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
|
|
|
|
Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
|
|
|

an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
|

|

say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
|
|
|
|
reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
|
|
|
|
local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
|
|
|
|
install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
|
|
|
|
CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
|
|
|
|
first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
|
|
|
|
enabled for this to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
|
|
|
|
ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
|
|
|
|
with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
|
|
|
|
bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
|
|
|
|
bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
|
|
|
|
time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
|
|
|
|
<file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
|
|
|
|
15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
|
|
|
|
and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
|
|
|
|
driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)
|
|
|
|
and winsock or NCSA's telnet.

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
as the NET-3-HOWTO, both available from
|
|

|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that the PLIP
|
|
|
|
protocol has been changed and this PLIP driver won't work together
|
|
|
|
with the PLIP support in Linux versions 1.0.x. This option enlarges

your kernel by about 8 KB.

PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
|
|
|
|
the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
|
|
|
|
serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
|
|
|
|
otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
|
|
|
|
days support PPP rather than SLIP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
|
|
|
|
in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
|
|
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have

|
There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
|
|
|
|
asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
|
|
|
|
synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
|
|
|

example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other

asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to

synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support

[NET] netconsole: Support dynamic reconfiguration using configfs
Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.
This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs. Documentation is also updated
accordingly.
Issues and brief design overview:
(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
exclusively from userspace. But netconsole must support boot/module
params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
setup from the kernel. Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
boot/module option string. This adds complexity and some redundancy here
and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
dynamically). However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.
(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem. If we used an ioctl(2) to
create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
we set up the netpoll. For configfs, this information is not available at
the time of mkdir(2). So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
configfs) disabled by default. The user is expected to set various
attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute. Thus,
netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
_this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself. This design enables
the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created. All this
effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.
(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.
(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
be used from netconsole.
