dd957c57c5 net/bonding: Optionally allow ethernet slaves to keep own MAC
Update the "don't change MAC of slaves" functionality added in
previous changes to be a generic option, rather than something tied to
IB devices, as it's occasionally useful for regular ethernet devices as
well.

	Adds "fail_over_mac" option (which is automatically enabled for IB
slaves), applicable only to active-backup mode.

	Includes documentation update.

	Updates bonding driver version to 3.2.0.

d90a162a4e net/bonding: Destroy bonding master when last slave is gone
When bonding enslaves non Ethernet devices it takes pointers to functions
in the module that owns the slaves. In this case it becomes unsafe
to keep the bonding master registered after last slave was unenslaved
because we don't know if the pointers are still valid.  Destroying the bond when slave_cnt is zero
ensures that these functions be used anymore.

6b1bf09650 net/bonding: Enable IP multicast for bonding IPoIB devices
Allow to enslave devices when the bonding device is not up. Over the discussion
held at the previous post this seemed to be the most clean way to go, where it
is not expected to cause instabilities.

Normally, the bonding driver is UP before any enslavement takes place.
Once a netdevice is UP, the network stack acts to have it join some multicast groups
(eg the all-hosts 224.0.0.1). Now, since ether_setup() have set the bonding device
type to be ARPHRD_ETHER and address len to be ETHER_ALEN, the net core code
computes a wrong multicast link address. This is b/c ip_eth_mc_map() is called
where for multicast joins taking place after the enslavement another ip_xxx_mc_map()
is called (eg ip_ib_mc_map() when the bond type is ARPHRD_INFINIBAND)

2ab82852a2 net/bonding: Enable bonding to enslave netdevices not supporting set_mac_address()
This patch allows for enslaving netdevices which do not support
the set_mac_address() function. In that case the bond mac address is the one
of the active slave, where remote peers are notified on the mac address
(neighbour) change by Gratuitous ARP sent by bonding when fail-over occurs
(this is already done by the bonding code).

872254dd6b net/bonding: Enable bonding to enslave non ARPHRD_ETHER
This patch changes some of the bond netdevice attributes and functions
to be that of the active slave for the case of the enslaved device not being
of ARPHRD_ETHER type. Basically it overrides those setting done by ether_setup(),
which are netdevice **type** dependent and hence might be not appropriate for
devices of other types. It also enforces mutual exclusion on bonding slaves
from dissimilar ether types, as was concluded over the v1 discussion.

IPoIB (see Documentation/infiniband/ipoib.txt) MAC address is made of a 3 bytes
IB QP (Queue Pair) number and 16 bytes IB port GID (Global ID) of the port this
IPoIB device is bounded to. The QP is a resource created by the IB HW and the
GID is an identifier burned into the HCA (i have omitted here some details which
are not important for the bonding RFC).

200d1713b4 IB/ipoib: Verify address handle validity on send
When the bonding device senses a carrier loss of its active slave it replaces
that slave with a new one. In between the times when the carrier of an IPoIB
device goes down and ipoib_neigh is destroyed, it is possible that the
bonding driver will send a packet on a new slave that uses an old ipoib_neigh.
This patch detects and prevents this from happenning.

732a2170f4 IB/ipoib: Bound the net device to the ipoib_neigh structue
IPoIB uses a two layer neighboring scheme, such that for each struct neighbour
whose device is an ipoib one, there is a struct ipoib_neigh buddy which is
created on demand at the tx flow by an ipoib_neigh_alloc(skb->dst->neighbour)
call.

When using the bonding driver, neighbours are created by the net stack on behalf
of the bonding (master) device. On the tx flow the bonding code gets an skb such
that skb->dev points to the master device, it changes this skb to point on the
slave device and calls the slave hard_start_xmit function.

Under this scheme, ipoib_neigh_destructor assumption that for each struct
neighbour it gets, n->dev is an ipoib device and hence netdev_priv(n->dev)
can be casted to struct ipoib_dev_priv is buggy.

To fix it, this patch adds a dev field to struct ipoib_neigh which is used
instead of the struct neighbour dev one, when n->dev->flags has the
IFF_MASTER bit set.
