bonding: fix curr_active_slave/carrier with loadbalance arp monitoring
Since commit 6fde8f037e60 ("bonding: fix locking in bond_loadbalance_arp_mon()") we can have a stale bond carrier state and stale curr_active_slave when using arp monitoring in loadbalance modes. The reason is that in bond_loadbalance_arp_mon() we can't have do_failover == true but slave_state_changed == false, whenever do_failover is true then slave_state_changed is also true. Then the following piece from bond_loadbalance_arp_mon(): if (slave_state_changed) { bond_slave_state_change(bond); if (BOND_MODE(bond) == BOND_MODE_XOR) bond_update_slave_arr(bond, NULL); } else if (do_failover) { block_netpoll_tx(); bond_select_active_slave(bond); unblock_netpoll_tx(); } will execute only the first branch, always and regardless of do_failover. Since these two events aren't related in such way, we need to decouple and consider them separately. For example this issue could lead to the following result: Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin) *MII Status: down* MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 ARP Polling Interval (ms): 100 ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): 192.168.9.2 Slave Interface: ens12 *MII Status: up* Speed: 10000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 2 Permanent HW addr: 00:0f:53:01:42:2c Slave queue ID: 0 Slave Interface: eth1 *MII Status: up* Speed: Unknown Duplex: Unknown Link Failure Count: 70 Permanent HW addr: 52:54:00:2f:0f:8e Slave queue ID: 0 Since some interfaces are up, then the status of the bond should also be up, but it will never change unless something invokes bond_set_carrier() (i.e. enslave, bond_select_active_slave etc). Now, if I force the calling of bond_select_active_slave via for example changing primary_reselect (it can change in any mode), then the MII status goes to "up" because it calls bond_select_active_slave() which should've been done from bond_loadbalance_arp_mon() itself.
