[PATCH net-next v2] bonding: add a vlan+mac tx hashing option
From: Jarod Wilson
Date: Wed Jan 13 2021 - 21:04:37 EST
This comes from an end-user request, where they're running multiple VMs on
hosts with bonded interfaces connected to some interest switch topologies,
where 802.3ad isn't an option. They're currently running a proprietary
solution that effectively achieves load-balancing of VMs and bandwidth
utilization improvements with a similar form of transmission algorithm.
Basically, each VM has it's own vlan, so it always sends its traffic out
the same interface, unless that interface fails. Traffic gets split
between the interfaces, maintaining a consistent path, with failover still
available if an interface goes down.
This has been rudimetarily tested to provide similar results, suitable for
them to use to move off their current proprietary solution. A patch for
iproute2 is forthcoming as well, to properly support the new mode there as
well.

v2: verified netlink interfaces working, added Documentation, changed
tx hash mode name to vlan+mac for consistency and clarity.

+ vlan+mac
+
+ This policy uses a very rudimentary vland ID and source mac
+ ID hash to load-balance traffic per-vlan, with failover
+ should one leg fail. The intended use case is for a bond
+ shared by multiple virtual machines, all configured to
+ use their own vlan, to give lacp-like functionality
+ without requiring lacp-capable switching hardware.
+
+ The formula for the hash is simply
+
+ hash = (vlan ID) XOR (source MAC)

The default value is layer2. This option was added in bonding
version 2.6.3. In earlier versions of bonding, this parameter
does not exist, and the layer2 policy is the only policy. The
