e727149e26 802.3ad: use standard ethhdr instead of ad_header
802.3ad has its own ethhdr-like structure in the form of an ad_header,
which is at the start of both the LACPDU and marker PDU.  Both are
the same from the struct values, both are packed as well.

It's therefore perfectly fine to replace the ad_header by the ethhdr
and to remove its definition.

454d7c9b14 netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-1
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

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.

6146b1a4da bonding: Fix ALB mode to balance traffic on VLANs
The current ALB function that processes incoming ARPs
does not handle traffic for VLANs configured above bonding.  This causes
traffic on those VLANs to all be assigned the same slave.  This patch
corrects that misbehavior by locating the bonding interface nested below
the VLAN interface.

tested an earlier version of this patch and confirmed that it resolved

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.

This patch adds a conditional update of last_rx to the bonding special

ce39a800ea bonding: fix panic when taking bond interface down before removing module
A panic was discovered with bonding when using mode 5 or 6 and trying to
remove the slaves from the bond after the interface was taken down.
When calling 'ifconfig bond0 down' the following happens:

    bond_close()
        bond_alb_deinitialize()
            tlb_deinitialize()
		kfree(bond_info->tx_hashtbl)
                bond_info->tx_hashtbl = NULL

Unfortunately if there are still slaves in the bond, when removing the
module the following happens:

    bonding_exit()
        bond_free_all()
            bond_release_all()
                bond_alb_deinit_slave()
                    tlb_clear_slave()
                        tx_hash_table = BOND_ALB_INFO(bond).tx_hashtbl
			u32 next_index = tx_hash_table[index].next

As you might guess we panic when trying to access a few entries into the
table that no longer exists.

I experimented with several options (like moving the calls to
tlb_deinitialize somewhere else), but it really makes the most sense to
be part of the bond_close routine.  It also didn't seem logical move
tlb_clear_slave around too much, so the simplest option seems to add a
check in tlb_clear_slave to make sure we haven't already wiped the
tx_hashtbl away before searching for all the non-existent hash-table
entries that used to point to the slave as the output interface.

b63365a2d6 net: Fix disjunct computation of netdev features
My change

    commit e2a6b85247
    net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device

didn't do what was intended because the netdev_compute_features
function was designed for conjunctions.  So what happened was that
it would simply take the TSO status of the last constituent device.

This patch extends it to support both conjunctions and disjunctions
under the new name of netdev_increment_features.

It also adds a new function netdev_fix_features which does the
sanity checking that usually occurs upon registration.  This ensures
that the computation doesn't result in an illegal combination
since this checking is absent when the change is initiated via
ethtool.

The two users of netdev_compute_features have been converted.

on ALB/TLB bonds.  The all-node-multicast is an equivalent to IPv4
broadcasts.  DAD probes have to be sent only on the primary so that
we don't get false-positive detections.

f14c4e4e36 bonding: change some __constant_htons() to htons()
Resending since I didn't see any responses from the first try.

Change __constant_htons() to htons() in the bonding driver, it should
only be used for initializers.

db018a5f49 bonding: Don't destroy bonding master when removing slave via sysfs
It is wrong to destroy a bonding master from a context that uses the sysfs
of that bond. When last IPoIB slave is unenslaved from by writing to a
sysfs file (for bond0 this would be /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves)
the driver tries to destroy the bond. This is wrong and can lead to a
lockup or a crash.  This fix lets the bonding master stay and relies on
the user to destroy the bonding master if necessary (i.e. before module
ib_ipoib is unloaded)

This patch affects only bonds of IPoIB slaves. Ethernet slaves stay
unaffected.

f0c76d6177 bonding: refactor mii monitor
Refactor mii monitor.  As with the previous ARP monitor refactor,
the motivation for this is to handle locking rationally (in this case,
removing conditional locking) and generally clean up the code.

	This patch breaks up the monolithic mii monitor into two phases:
an inspection phase, followed by an optional commit phase.  The commit phase
is the only portion that requires RTNL or makes changes to state, and is
only called when inspection finds something to change.

cf508b1211 netdev: Handle ->addr_list_lock just like ->_xmit_lock for lockdep.
The new address list lock needs to handle the same device layering
issues that the _xmit_lock one does.

This integrates work done by Patrick McHardy.
