This patch adds the necessary basic infrastructure to support
centralized and unified option manipulation API for the bonding. The new
structure bond_option will be used to describe each option with its
dependencies on modes which will be checked automatically thus removing a
lot of duplicated code. Also automatic range checking is added for
some options. Currently the option setting function requires RTNL to
be acquired prior to calling it, since many options already rely on RTNL
it seemed like the best choice to protect all against common race
conditions.
In order to add an option the following steps need to be done:
1. Add an entry BOND_OPT_<option> to bond_options.h so it gets a unique id
and a bit corresponding to the id
2. Add a bond_option entry to the bond_opts[] array in bond_options.c which
describes the option, its dependencies and its manipulation function
3. Add code to export the option through sysfs and/or as a module parameter
(the sysfs export will be made automatically in the future)
The options can have different flags set, currently the following are
supported:
BOND_OPTFLAG_NOSLAVES - require that the bond device has no slaves prior
to setting the option
BOND_OPTFLAG_IFDOWN - require that the bond device is down prior to
setting the option
BOND_OPTFLAG_RAWVAL - don't parse the value but return it raw for the
option to parse
There's a new value structure to describe different types of values
which can have the following flags:
BOND_VALFLAG_DEFAULT - marks the default option (permanent string alias
to this option is "default")
BOND_VALFLAG_MIN - the minimum value that this option can have
BOND_VALFLAG_MAX - the maximum value that this option can have
An example would be nice here, so if we have an option which can have
the values "off"(2), "special"(4, default) and supports a range, say
16 - 32, it should be defined as follows:
"off", 2,
"special", 4, BOND_VALFLAG_DEFAULT,
"rangemin", 16, BOND_VALFLAG_MIN,
"rangemax", 32, BOND_VALFLAG_MAX
So we have the valid intervals: [2, 2], [4, 4], [16, 32]
Also the valid strings: "off" = 2, "special" and "default" = 4
"rangemin" = 16, "rangemax" = 32
BOND_VALFLAG_(MIN|MAX) can be used to specify a valid range for an
option, if MIN is omitted then 0 is considered as a minimum. If an
exact match is found in the values[] table it will be returned,
otherwise the range is tried (if available).
The option parameter passing is done by using a special structure called
bond_opt_value which can take either a string or a value to parse. One
of the bond_opt_init(val|str) macros should be used depending on which
one does the user want to parse (string or value). Then a call to
__bond_opt_set should be done under RTNL.

open/release operations require userspace transitions to keep track
of the open count and to perform any FS-specific setup. However,
for some purely read-only FSs which don't need to perform any setup
at open/release time, we can avoid the performance overhead of
calling into userspace for open/release calls.
This patch adds the necessary support to the fuse kernel modules to prevent
open/release operations from hitting in userspace. When the client returns
ENOSYS, we avoid sending the subsequent release to userspace, and also
remember this so that future opens also don't trigger a userspace
operation.

====================
reciprocal_divide update
This patch is on top of aee636c480 ("bpf: do not use reciprocal
divide") from Eric that sits in net tree. It will not create a merge
conflict, but it depends on this one, so we suggest, if possible, to
merge net into net-next.
We are proposing this change with only small modifications from the
v2 version, namely updating the name of trim to reciprocal_scale
(as commented on by Ben Hutchings and Eric Dumazet, thanks!).
We thought about introducing the reciprocal_divide algorithm in
parallel to the one already used by the kernel but faced organizational
issues, leading us to the conclusion that it is best to just replace
the old one: We could not come up with names for the different
implementations and also with a way to describe the differences to
guide developers which one to choose in which situation. This is
because we cannot specify the correct semantics for the version
which is currently used by the kernel. Altough it seems to not be
causing problems in the kernel, we cannot surely say so in the
case of flex_array for the future. Current usage seems ok, but
future users could run into problems.
Changelog:
v1->v2:
- changed name to prandom_u32_max in p1
- changed name to trim in p2
- reworked code in p3
v2->v3:
- p1 and p3 stays unchanged, only small update in commit
message in p3
- changed name to reciprocal_scale in p2
- fixed kernel doc format
v3->v4:
- pseduo -> pseudo (thanks to Tilman Schmidt)
v4->v5:
- fix pseduo -> pseudo for real now, sorry for the noise

Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide()
were not correct [1][2], which he could also show with BPF code
after divisions are transformed into reciprocal_value() for runtime
invariance which can be passed to reciprocal_divide() later on;
reverse in BPF dump ended up with a different, off-by-one K in
some situations.
This has been fixed by Eric Dumazet in commit aee636c480
("bpf: do not use reciprocal divide"). This follow-up patch
improves reciprocal_value() and reciprocal_divide() to work in
all cases by using Granlund and Montgomery method, so that also
future use is safe and without any non-obvious side-effects.
Known problems with the old implementation were that division by 1
always returned 0 and some off-by-ones when the dividend and divisor
where very large. This seemed to not be problematic with its
current users, as far as we can tell. Eric Dumazet checked for
the slab usage, we cannot surely say so in the case of flex_array.
Still, in order to fix that, we propose an extension from the
original implementation from commit 6a2d7a955d resp. [3][4],
by using the algorithm proposed in "Division by Invariant Integers
Using Multiplication" [5], Torbjörn Granlund and Peter L.
Montgomery, that is, pseudocode for q = n/d where q, n, d is in
u32 universe:
1) Initialization:
int l = ceil(log_2 d)
uword m' = floor((1<<32)*((1<<l)-d)/d)+1
int sh_1 = min(l,1)
int sh_2 = max(l-1,0)
2) For q = n/d, all uword:
uword t = (n*m')>>32
q = (t+((n-t)>>sh_1))>>sh_2
The assembler implementation from Agner Fog [6] also helped a lot
while implementing. We have tested the implementation on x86_64,
ppc64, i686, s390x; on x86_64/haswell we're still half the latency
compared to normal divide.

Many functions have open coded a function that returns a random
number in range [0,N-1]. Under the assumption that we have a PRNG
such as taus113 with being well distributed in [0, ~0U] space,
we can implement such a function as uword t = (n*m')>>32, where
m' is a random number obtained from PRNG, n the right open interval
border and t our resulting random number, with n,m',t in u32 universe.
Lets go with Joe and simply call it prandom_u32_max(), although
technically we have an right open interval endpoint, but that we
have documented. Other users can further be migrated to the new
prandom_u32_max() function later on; for now, we need to make sure
to migrate reciprocal_divide() users for the reciprocal_divide()
follow-up fixup since their function signatures are going to change.

In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
clear/mark/flush requests. But both mark and flush requests require
cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
flush call. This behaviour is really slow.
To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
the kernel-userspace-kernel time. We allow a new directive,
"integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace. If not
directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
backwards compatibility. Additionally, flush requests are performed
lazily when only clear requests exist.

Michal Sekletar added in commit ea02f9411d ("net: introduce
SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS") a facility where user space can enquire
the BPF ancillary instruction set, which is imho a step into
the right direction for letting user space high-level to BPF
optimizers make an informed decision for possibly using these
extensions.
The original rationale was to return through a getsockopt(2)
a bitfield of which instructions are supported and which
are not, as of right now, we just return 0 to indicate a
base support for SKF_AD_PROTOCOL up to SKF_AD_PAY_OFFSET.
Limitations of this approach are that this API which we need
to maintain for a long time can only support a maximum of 32
extensions, and needs to be additionally maintained/updated
when each new extension that comes in.
I thought about this a bit more and what we can do here to
overcome this is to just return SKF_AD_MAX. Since we never
remove any extension since we cannot break user space and
always linearly increase SKF_AD_MAX on each newly added
extension, user space can make a decision on what extensions
are supported in the whole set of extensions and which aren't,
by just checking which of them from the whole set have an
offset < SKF_AD_MAX of the underlying kernel.
Since SKF_AD_MAX must be updated each time we add new ones,
we don't need to introduce an additional enum and got
maintenance for free. At some point in time when
SO_BPF_EXTENSIONS becomes ubiquitous for most kernels, then
an application can simply make use of this and easily be run
on newer or older underlying kernels without needing to be
recompiled, of course. Since that is for 3.14, it's not too
late to do this change.
