Need to rework how bonding devices are initialized to make it more
amenable to creating bonding devices via netlink.

Stephen Hemminger 373500db92 bonding: network device names are case sensative
The bonding device acts unlike all other Linux network device functions
in that it ignores case of device names. The developer must have come
from windows!

Cleanup the management of names and use standard routines where possible.
Flag places where bonding device still doesn't work right with network
namespaces.

Stephen Hemminger 6d7ab43ccc bonding: elminate bad refcount code

Sysfs does proper refcounting, and it is okay to remove a bond device

Stephen Hemminger 9e71626c1c bonding: fix destructor
It is not safe to use a network device destructor that is a function in
the module, since it can be called after module is unloaded if sysfs
handle is open.

When eventually using netlink, the device cleanup code needs to be done
via uninit function.

Pablo Neira Ayuso dd7669a92c netfilter: conntrack: optional reliable conntrack event delivery
This patch improves ctnetlink event reliability if one broadcast
listener has set the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option.

The logic is the following: if an event delivery fails, we keep
the undelivered events in the missed event cache. Once the next
packet arrives, we add the new events (if any) to the missed
events in the cache and we try a new delivery, and so on. Thus,
if ctnetlink fails to deliver an event, we try to deliver them
once we see a new packet. Therefore, we may lose state
transitions but the userspace process gets in sync at some point.

At worst case, if no events were delivered to userspace, we make
sure that destroy events are successfully delivered. Basically,
if ctnetlink fails to deliver the destroy event, we remove the
conntrack entry from the hashes and we insert them in the dying
list, which contains inactive entries. Then, the conntrack timer
is added with an extra grace timeout of random32() % 15 seconds
to trigger the event again (this grace timeout is tunable via
/proc). The use of a limited random timeout value allows
distributing the "destroy" resends, thus, avoiding accumulating
lots "destroy" events at the same time. Event delivery may
re-order but we can identify them by means of the tuple plus
the conntrack ID.

The maximum number of conntrack entries (active or inactive) is
still handled by nf_conntrack_max. Thus, we may start dropping
packets at some point if we accumulate a lot of inactive conntrack
entries that did not successfully report the destroy event to
userspace.

During my stress tests consisting of setting a very small buffer
of 2048 bytes for conntrackd and the NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket
flag, and generating lots of very small connections, I noticed
very few destroy entries on the fly waiting to be resend.

A simple way to test this patch consist of creating a lot of
entries, set a very small Netlink buffer in conntrackd (+ a patch
which is not in the git tree to set the BROADCAST_ERROR flag)
and invoke `conntrack -F'.

For expectations, no changes are introduced in this patch.
Currently, event delivery is only done for new expectations (no
events from expectation expiration, removal and confirmation).
In that case, they need a per-expectation event cache to implement
the same idea that is exposed in this patch.

This patch can be useful to provide reliable flow-accouting. We
still have to add a new conntrack extension to store the creation
and destroy time.

Pablo Neira Ayuso a0891aa6a6 netfilter: conntrack: move event caching to conntrack extension infrastructure
This patch reworks the per-cpu event caching to use the conntrack
extension infrastructure.

The main drawback is that we consume more memory per conntrack
if event delivery is enabled. This patch is required by the
reliable event delivery that follows to this patch.

BTW, this patch allows you to enable/disable event delivery via
/proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_events in runtime, although
you can still disable event caching as compilation option.

Patrick McHardy 65cb9fda32 netfilter: nf_conntrack: use mod_timer_pending() for conntrack refresh
Use mod_timer_pending() instead of atomic sequence of del_timer()/
add_timer(). mod_timer_pending() does not rearm an inactive timer,
so we don't need the conntrack lock anymore to make sure we don't
accidentally rearm a timer of a conntrack which is in the process
of being destroyed.

With this change, we don't need to take the global lock anymore at all,
counter updates can be performed under the per-conntrack lock.

John Dykstra 746e6ad23c [PATCH] net core: Some interface flags not returned by SIOCGIFFLAGS
Commit b00055aacd " [NET] core: add
RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values.  Its
documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user
space via SIOCGIFFLAGS.  However, this does not work because the new
flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width.

Change the documentation to match the code's behavior.  Also change
the source to explicitly show the truncation.  This _should_ have no
effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86
code.

A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user
space.  However, since this has been broken for three years with no
one complaining, there doesn't seem much need.  They are still
accessible via netlink.

Stephen Hemminger 130aa61a77 bonding: fix multiple module load problem
Some users still load bond module multiple times to create bonding
devices.  This accidentally was broken by a later patch about
the time sysfs was fixed.  According to Jay, it was broken
by:
   commit b8a9787edd
   Author: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>
   Date:   Fri Jun 13 18:12:04 2008 -0700

     bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zero

Note: sysfs and procfs still produce WARN() messages when this is done
so the sysfs method is the recommended API.

Timo Teras 5ef12d98a1 neigh: fix state transition INCOMPLETE->FAILED via Netlink request
The current code errors out the INCOMPLETE neigh entry skb queue only from
the timer if maximum probes have been attempted and there has been no reply.
This also causes the transtion to FAILED state.

However, the neigh entry can be also updated via Netlink to inform that the
address is unavailable.  Currently, neigh_update() just stops the timers and
leaves the pending skb's unreleased. This results that the clean up code in
the timer callback is never called, preventing also proper garbage collection.

This fixes neigh_update() to process the pending skb queue immediately if
INCOMPLETE -> FAILED state transtion occurs due to a Netlink request.
