The bond slave list may change when the monitor is running, the slave list is no longer protected by bond->lock, only protected by rtnl lock(), so we have 3 ways to modify it: 1.add bond_master_upper_dev_link() and bond_upper_dev_unlink() in bond->lock, but it is unsafe to call call_netdevice_notifiers() in write lock. 2.remove unused bond->lock for monitor function, only use the existing rtnl lock(). 3.use rcu_read_lock() to protect it, of course, it will transform bond_for_each_slave to bond_for_each_slave_rcu() and performance is better, but in slow path, it is ignored. so I remove the bond->lock and move the rtnl lock to protect the whole monitor function.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to igb, igbvf, i40e, ixgbe and ixgbevf. Dan Carpenter provides a patch for igbvf to fix a bug found by a static checker. If the new MTU is very large, then "new_mtu + ETH_HLEN + ETH_FCS_LEN" can wrap and the check on the next line can underflow. Wei Yongjun provides 2 patches, the first against igbvf adds a missing iounmap() before the return from igbvf_probe(). The second against i40e, removes the include <linux/version.h> because it is not needed. Carolyn provides a patch for igb to fix a call to set the master/slave mode for all m88 generation 2 PHY's and removes the call for I210 devices which do not need it. Stefan Assmann provides a patch for igb to fix an issue which was broke by: commit fa44f2f1 Author: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@intel.com> Date: Thu Jan 17 01:03:06 2013 -0800 igb: Enable SR-IOV configuration via PCI sysfs interface which breaks the reloading of igb when VFs are assigned to a guest, in several ways. Jacob provides a patch for ixgbe and ixgbevf. First, against ixgbe, cleans up ixgbe_enumerate_functions to reduce code complexity. The second, against ixgbevf, adds support for ethtool's get_coalesce and set_coalesce command for the ixgbevf driver. Yijing Wang provides a patch for ixgbe to use pcie_capability_read_word() to simplify the code. Emil provides a ixgbe patch to fix an issue where the logic used to detect changes in rx-usecs was incorrect and was masked by the call to ixgbe_update_rsc(). Don provides 2 patches for ixgbevf. First creates a new function to set PSRTYPE. The second bumps the ixgbevf driver version. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

I initial build non irq safe version of net_get_random_once because I would liked to have the freedom to defer even the extraction process of get_random_bytes until the nonblocking pool is fully seeded. I don't think this is a good idea anymore and thus this patch makes net_get_random_once irq safe. Now someone using net_get_random_once does not need to care from where it is called. Cc: David S.

The transition from markov state "3 => lost packets within a burst period" to "1 => successfully transmitted packets within a gap period" has no *additional* loss event. The loss already happen for transition from 1 -> 3, this additional loss will make things go wild. E.g. transition probabilities: p13: 10% p31: 100% Expected: Ploss = p13 / (p13 + p31) Ploss = ~9.09% ... but it isn't. Even worse: we get a double loss - each time. So simple don't return true to indicate loss, rather break and return false.

This function previously had the same check as used by the ixgbe_pcie_from_parent. As the hardcode is due to the device having an internal switch, this function should simply use the call from ixgbe_pcie_from_parent.

Antonio Quartulli says: ==================== this is another set of changes intended for net-next/linux-3.13. (probably our last pull request for this cycle) Patches 1 and 2 reshape two of our main data structures in a way that they can easily be extended in the future to accommodate new routing protocols. Patches from 3 to 9 improve our routing protocol API and its users so that all the protocol-related code is not mixed up with the other components anymore. Patch 10 limits the local Translation Table maximum size to a value such that it can be fully transfered over the air if needed. This value depends on fragmentation being enabled or not and on the mtu values. Patch 11 makes batman-adv send a uevent in case of soft-interface destruction while a "bat-Gateway" was configured (this informs userspace about the GW not being available anymore). Patches 13 and 14 enable the TT component to detect non-mesh client flag changes at runtime (till now those flags where set upon client detection and were not changed anymore). Patch 16 is a generalisation of our user-to-kernel space communication (and viceversa) used to exchange ICMP packets to send/received to/from the mesh network. Now it can easily accommodate new ICMP packet types without breaking the existing userspace API anymore. Remaining patches are minor changes and cleanups. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Defer the generation of the first hash secret for the ipv4 fragmentation cache as late as possible. ip4_frags.rnd gets initial seeded by inet_frags_init and regulary reseeded by inet_frag_secret_rebuild. Either we call ipqhashfn directly from ip_fragment.c in which case we initialize the secret directly. If we first get called by inet_frag_secret_rebuild we install a new secret by a manual call to get_random_bytes. This secret will be overwritten as soon as the first call to ipqhashfn happens. This is safe because we won't race while publishing the new secrets with anyone else. Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: "David S.

Instead of handling icmp packets only up to length of icmp_packet_rr, the code should handle any icmp length size. Therefore the length truncating is moved to when the packet is actually sent to userspace (this does not support lengths longer than icmp_packet_rr yet). Longer packets are forwarded without truncating. This patch also cleans up some parts where the icmp header struct could be used instead of other icmp_packet(_rr) structs to make the code more readable.

Flags covered by TT_SYNC_MASK are kept in sync among the nodes in the network and therefore they have to be considered while computing the global/local table CRC. In this way a generic originator is able to understand if its table contains the correct flags or not. Bits from 4 to 7 in the TT flags fields are now reserved for "synchronized" flags only. This allows future developers to add more flags of this type without breaking compatibility. It's important to note that not all the remote TT flags are synchronised. This comes from the fact that some flags are used to inject an information once only.

Some flags (i.e. the WIFI flag) may change after that the related client has already been announced. However it is useful to informa the rest of the network about this change. Add a runtime-flag-switch detection mechanism and re-announce the related TT entry to advertise the new flag value. This mechanism can be easily exploited by future flags that may need the same treatment.

Upcoming changes need to perform other checks on the incoming net_device struct. To avoid performing dev_get_by_index() for each and every check, it is better to move it outside of is_wifi_iface() and search the netdev object once only.
