Subject: [PATCH] net: deliver skbs on inactive slaves to exact matches
Date: Thu, 06 May 2010 10:24:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100506172438.26339.93520.stgit@jf-dev2-dcblab> (raw)

Currently, the accelerated receive path for VLAN's will
drop packets if the real device is an inactive slave and
is not one of the special pkts tested for in
skb_bond_should_drop().  This behavior is different then
the non-accelerated path and for pkts over a bonded vlan.

For example,

vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx

will be dropped in the vlan path and not delivered to any
packet handlers.  However,

bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx

will be delivered to handlers that match the exact dev,
because the VLAN path checks the real_dev which is not a
slave and netif_recv_skb() doesn't drop frames but only
delivers them to exact matches.

This patch adds a pkt_type PACKET_DROP which is now used
to identify skbs that would previously been dropped and
allows the skb to continue to skb_netif_recv().  Here we
add logic to check for PACKET_DROP and if so only deliver
to handlers that match exactly.  IMHO this is more
consistent and gives pkt handlers a way to identify skbs
that come from inactive slaves.

This allows a third case to function which is important for
doing multipath with FCoE traffic while LAN traffic bonded,

bond0 -> ethx
          |
vlanx -> --

Here the vlan is not in bond0 but the FCoE handler can still
receive the skb.  Previously these skbs were dropped.

I have tested the following 4 configurations in failover modes
and load balancing modes and have not seen any duplicate packets
or unexpected bahavior.

# bond0 -> ethx

# vlanx -> bond0 -> ethx

# bond0 -> vlanx -> ethx

# bond0 -> ethx
            |
  vlanx -> --

Also this removes the PACKET_FASTROUTE define which was not being
used.
