      bonding: add an option to specify a delay between peer notifications · 07a4ddec
      Vincent Bernat authored
      Currently, gratuitous ARP/ND packets are sent every `miimon'
      milliseconds. This commit allows a user to specify a custom delay
      through a new option, `peer_notif_delay'.
      
      Like for `updelay' and `downdelay', this delay should be a multiple of
      `miimon' to avoid managing an additional work queue. The configuration
      logic is copied from `updelay' and `downdelay'. However, the default
      value cannot be set using a module parameter: Netlink or sysfs should
      be used to configure this feature.
      
      When setting `miimon' to 100 and `peer_notif_delay' to 500, we can
      observe the 500 ms delay is respected:
      
          20:30:19.354693 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
          20:30:19.874892 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
          20:30:20.394919 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
          20:30:20.914963 ARP, Request who-has 203.0.113.10 tell 203.0.113.10, length 28
      
      In bond_mii_monitor(), I have tried to keep the lock logic readable.
      The change is due to the fact we cannot rely on a notification to
      lower the value of `bond->send_peer_notif' as `NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS' is
      only triggered once every N times, while we need to decrement the
      counter each time.
      
      iproute2 also needs to be updated to be able to specify this new
      attribute through `ip link'.

      net: ethernet: sun: remove redundant assignment to variable err · 2368a870
      Colin Ian King authored
      The variable err is being assigned with a value that is never
      read and it is being updated in the next statement with a new value.
      The assignment is redundant and can be removed.
