[net-next,v5,2/2] bonding: Simplify the xmit function for modes that use xmit_hash

Commit Message

Earlier change to use usable slave array for TLB mode had an additional
performance advantage. So extending the same logic to all other modes
that use xmit-hash for slave selection (viz 802.3AD, and XOR modes).
Also consolidating this with the earlier TLB change.

The main idea is to build the usable slaves array in the control path
and use that array for slave selection during xmit operation.

Measured performance in a setup with a bond of 4x1G NICs with 200
instances of netperf for the modes involved (3ad, xor, tlb)
cmd: netperf -t TCP_RR -H <TargetHost> -l 60 -s 5

Mode        TPS-Before   TPS-After

802.3ad   : 468,694      493,101
TLB (lb=0): 392,583      392,965
XOR       : 475,696      484,517

v1:
  (a) If bond_update_slave_arr() fails to allocate memory, it will overwrite
      the slave that need to be removed.
  (b) Freeing of array will assign NULL (to handle bond->down to bond->up
      transition gracefully.
  (c) Change from pr_debug() to pr_err() if bond_update_slave_arr() returns
      failure.
  (d) XOR: bond_update_slave_arr() will consider mii-mon, arp-mon cases and
      will populate the array even if these parameters are not used.
  (e) 3AD: Should handle the ad_agg_selection_logic correctly.
v2:
  (a) Removed rcu_read_{un}lock() calls from array manipulation code.
  (b) Slave link-events now refresh array for all these modes.
  (c) Moved free-array call from bond_close() to bond_uninit().
v3:
  (a) Fixed null pointer dereference.
  (b) Removed bond->lock lockdep dependency.
v4:
  (a) Made to changes to comply with Nikolay's locking changes
  (b) Added a work-queue to refresh slave-array when RTNL is not held
  (c) Array refresh happens ONLY with RTNL now.
  (d) alloc changed from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL
v5:
  (a) Consolidated all delayed slave-array updates at one place in
      3ad_state_machine_handler()

Hi Mahesh,

So again when we don't have an active slave aggregator in 3ad mode we'll
start printing error messages here and re-scheduling until an active one
appears which could be a very long time, we'll be in a rtnl acquire/release
cycle every jiffy until we have a new active aggregator.

We'll continue to transmit packets in 3ad mode as the old slave array will
remain in place even though there isn't an active slave aggregator any more
which is wrong.
