Subject: [PATCH net v5 3/4] bonding: 3ad: fix mux port state on oper down
Date: Wed,  6 May 2026 18:11:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506161144.465485-4-louis.scalbert@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506161144.465485-1-louis.scalbert@6wind.com>

When the bonding interface has carrier down due to the absence of
usable slaves and a slave transitions from down to up, the bonding
interface briefly goes carrier up, then down again, and finally up
once LACP negotiates collecting and distributing on the port.

When lacp_strict mode is on, the interface should not transition to
carrier up until LACP negotiation is complete.

This happens because the actor and partner port states remain in
Collecting_Distributing when the port goes down. When the port
comes back up, it temporarily remains in this state until LACP
renegotiation occurs.

Previously this was mostly cosmetic, but since the bonding carrier
state may depend on the LACP negotiation state, it causes the
interface to flap.

Move an operationally down port to the Mux WAITING state and clear the
Synchronization, Collecting, and Distributing states, in accordance with
the 802.1AX Mux state machine diagram.
