CVE-2026-52975: bonding: 3ad: implement proper RCU rules for port->aggregator

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bonding: 3ad: implement proper RCU rules for port->aggregator

syzbot found a data-race in bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info /
bond_3ad_state_machine_handler [1] which hints at lack of proper
RCU implementation.

Add __rcu qualifier to port->aggregator, and add proper RCU API.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
