Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] bonding: 3ad: fix carrier when no valid slaves
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 14:18:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316131838.3257889-2-louis.scalbert@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316131838.3257889-1-louis.scalbert@6wind.com>
When an 802.3ad (LACP) bonding interface has no slaves in the
collecting/distributing state, the bonding master may still report
carrier as up. In this situation, no slave is actually able to transmit
or receive traffic.
As a result, upper-layer daemons consider the interface operational
while traffic is effectively blackholed.
Fix this by asserting carrier only when at least 'min_links' slaves are
in the collecting/distributing state (or collecting only if the
coupled_control default behavior is disabled).
Fixes: 655f8919d549 ("bonding: add min links parameter to 802.3ad")
