Subject: [PATCH net v2 3/3] bonding: 3ad: fix stuck negotiation on recovery
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 14:44:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325134439.3048615-4-louis.scalbert@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325134439.3048615-1-louis.scalbert@6wind.com>
The previous commit introduced a side effect caused by clearing the
SELECTED flag on disabled ports. After all ports in an aggregator go
down, if only a subset of ports comes back up, those ports can no
longer renegotiate LACP unless all aggregator ports come back up.
1. All aggregator ports go down
- The SELECTED flag is cleared on all of them.
2. One port comes back up
- Its SELECTED flag is set again.
- It enters the WAITING state and gets its READY_N flag.
- The remaining ports stay UNSELECTED. Because of that, they cannot
enter the WAITING state and therefore never get READY_N.
- __agg_ports_are_ready() returns 0 because it finds a port without
READY_N.
- As a result, __set_agg_ports_ready() keeps the READY flag cleared on
all ports.
- The port that came back up is therefore not marked READY and cannot
transition to ATTACHED.
- LACP negotiation becomes stuck, and the port cannot be used.
3. All aggregator ports come back up
- They all regain SELECTED and READY_N.
- __agg_ports_are_ready() now returns 1.
- __set_agg_ports_ready() sets READY on all ports.
- They can then transition to ATTACHED.
- Negotiation resumes and the aggregator becomes operational again.
Consider only ports currently in the WAITING mux state for READY_N in
order to avoid __agg_ports_are_ready() to return 0 because of a disabled
port. That matches 802.3ad, which states: "The Selection Logic asserts
Ready TRUE when the values of Ready_N for all ports that are waiting to
attach to a given Aggregator are TRUE.".
Fixes: 655f8919d549 ("bonding: add min links parameter to 802.3ad")
