Subject: [PATCH net v4 2/2] bonding: fix u32 overflow in compute_gap()
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 13:55:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820-bond_overflow-v4-2-805ba0d3efb6@kylinos.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820-bond_overflow-v4-0-805ba0d3efb6@kylinos.cn>

From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@kylinos.cn>

The TLB load-tracking fields tx_bytes, load_history, load, and
unbalanced_load are all u32. At sustained throughput above ~3.2 Gbit/s
over the 10-second rebalance interval the byte counters wrap, causing
compute_gap() to produce incorrect gap values and mis-select slaves.
Such speeds are common on modern NICs under heavy traffic.

Widen these fields to u64. Use u64_stats_sync to protect the per-cpu
unbalanced_load_stats against tearing on 32-bit architectures, and
div_u64() for the 64-bit divisions. The tx_bytes and load_history
are protected in spin_lock. Also protect the slave load writing in
bond_alb_monitor() with spin_lock in case of tear on 32-bit.

Rework compute_gap() to use u64 arithmetic throughout. Return 0 when the
speed is unknown or the slave is already overloaded.

Detected by AI code review.
