[PATCH net-next v14 0/7] bonding: Extend arp_ip_target format to allow for a list of vlan tags.
The current implementation of the arp monitor builds a list of vlan-tags by following the chain of net_devices above the bond. See bond_verify_device_path(). Unfortunately, with some configurations, this is not possible. One example is when an ovs switch is configured above the bond.
This change extends the "arp_ip_target" parameter format to allow for a list of vlan tags to be included for each arp target. This new list of tags is optional and may be omitted to preserve the current format and process of discovering vlans.
The new format for arp_ip_target is: arp_ip_target ipv4-address[vlan-tag...],...
For example: arp_ip_target 10.0.0.1[10/20] arp_ip_target 10.0.0.1[] (used to disable vlan discovery)
Changes since V13 Thanks for the help Paolo: - Changed first argument of bond_option_arp_ip_target_add() to a const. - Changed first argument of bond_arp_target_to_string to a const. - Added compiler time check of size argument to: bond_arp_target_to_string(), BUILD_BUG_ON(size != BOND_OPTION_STRING_MAX_SIZE); - In bond_arp_send_all() I changed the condition for both the allocation and the free calls to be the same to improve the clarity of the code. - Removed extra tab in bond_fill_info(). - Updated update bond_get_size() to reflect the increased payload for the arp_ip_target option. - Corrected indentation and alignment in bond-arp-ip-target.sh.
Changes since V12 Fixed uninitialized variable in bond_option_arp_ip_targets_set() (patch 4) causing a CI failure.
Changes since V11 No Change.
Changes since V10 Thanks Paolo: - 1/7 Changed the layout of struct bond_arp_target to reduce size of the struct. - 3/7 Fixed format 'size-num' -> 'size - num' - 7/7 Updated selftest (bond-arp-ip-target.sh). Removed sleep 10 in check_failure_count(). Added call to tc to verify arp probes are reaching the target interface. Then I verify that the Link Failure counts are not increasing over "time". Arp probes are sent every 100ms, two missed probes will trigger a Link failure. A one second wait between checking counts should be be more than sufficient. This speeds up the execution of the test.
Thanks Nikolay: - 4/7 In bond_option_arp_ip_targets_clear() I changed the definition of empty_target to empty_target = {}. - bond_validate_tags() now verifies input is a multiple of sizeof(struct bond_vlan_tag). Updated VID validity check to use: !tags->vlan_id || tags->vlan_id >= VLAN_VID_MASK) as suggested. - In bond_option_arp_ip_targets_set() removed the redundant length check of target.target_ip. - Added kfree(target.tags) when bond_option_arp_ip_target_add() results in an error. - Removed the caching of struct bond_vlan_tag returned by bond_verify_device_path(), Nikolay pointed out that caching tags prevented the detection of VLAN configuration changes. Added a kfree(tags) for tags allocated in bond_verify_device_path().
Jay, Nikolay and I had a discussion regarding locking when adding, deleting or changing vlan tags. Jay pointed out that user supplied tags that are stashed in the bond configuration and can only be changed via user space this can be done safely in an RCU manner as netlink always operates with RTNL held. If user space provided tags and then replumbs things, it'll be on user space to update the tags in a safe manor.
I was concerned about changing options on a configured bond, I found that attempting to change a bonds configuration (using "ip set") will abort the attempt to make a change if the bond's state is "UP" or has slaves configured. Therefor the configuration and operational side of a bond is separated. I agree with Jay that the existing locking scheme is sufficient.
Change since V9 Fix kdoc build error.
Changes since V8: Moved the #define BOND_MAX_VLAN_TAGS from patch 6 to patch 3. Thanks Simon for catching the bisection break.
Changes since V7: These changes should eliminate the CI failures I have been seeing. 1) patch 2, changed type of bond_opt_value.extra_len to size_t. 2) Patch 4, added bond_validate_tags() to validate the array of bond_vlan_tag provided by the user.
Changes since V6: 1) I made a number of changes to fix the failure seen in the kernel CI. I am still unable to reproduce the this failure, hopefully I have fixed it. These change are in patch #4 to functions: bond_option_arp_ip_targets_clear() and bond_option_arp_ip_targets_set()
Changes since V5: Only the last 2 patches have changed since V5. 1) Fixed sparse warning in bond_fill_info(). 2) Also in bond_fill_info() I resolved data.addr uninitialized when if condition is not met. Thank you Simon for catching this. Note: The change is different that what I shared earlier. 3) Fixed shellcheck warnings in test script: Blocked source warning, Ignored specific unassigned references and exported ALL_TESTS to resolve a reference warning.
Changes since V4: 1)Dropped changes to proc and sysfs APIs to bonding. These APIs do not need to be updated to support new functionality. Netlink and iproute2 have been updated to do the right thing, but the other APIs are more or less frozen in the past.
2)Jakub reported a warning triggered in bond_info_seq_show() during testing. I was unable to reproduce this warning or identify it with code inspection. However, all my changes to bond_info_seq_show() have been dropped as unnecessary (see above). Hopefully this will resolve the issue.
3)Selftest script has been updated based on the results of shellcheck. Two unresolved references that are not possible to resolve are all that remain.
4)A patch was added updating bond_info_fill() to support "ip -d show <bond-device>" command.
The inclusion of a list of vlan tags is optional. The new logic preserves both forward and backward compatibility with the kernel and iproute2 versions.
Changes since V3: 1) Moved the parsing of the extended arp_ip_target out of the kernel and into userspace (ip command). A separate patch to iproute2 to follow shortly. 2) Split up the patch set to make review easier.
Please see iproute changes in a separate posting.
Thank you for your time and reviews.

Replacing the definition of bond_params.arp_targets (__be32 arp_targets[]) with:
struct bond_arp_target { __be32 target_ip; u32 flags; struct bond_vlan_tag *tags; };
To provide storage for a list of vlan tags for each target.
All references to arp_target are change to use the new structure.

Used to record the size of the extra array.
__bond_opt_init() is updated to set extra_len. BOND_OPT_EXTRA_MAXLEN is increased from 16 to 64.
This is needed for the extended arp_ip_target option. The ip command will now pass a variable length value when setting arp_ip_target.

bond_arp_send_all() will pass the vlan tags supplied by the user to bond_arp_send(). If vlan tags have not been supplied the vlans in the path to the target will be discovered by bond_verify_device_path().
bond_uninit() is also updated to free vlan tags when a bond is destroyed.

Sorry, didn't have a chance to catch up until now. I gave this a read through again, and I have mixed feelings about it.
I understand the problem they're trying to solve, which is largely an artifact of the way OVS kind of lives off to the side and does its own thing. And, yes, there are a bunch of other things (tc, ebpf, et al) that can arbitrarily tweak VLAN tags in a packet.
That said, it's kind of a niche use case, and it's adding what feels to me like an awkward API and its related infrastructure that will have to be maintained forever. Bonding already has baggage from things that seemed like a good idea at the time, but ultimately weren't, so I'm reluctant to add something like this for a niche case.
