Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] bonding: 3ad: Receive packets in COLLECTING state
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 19:19:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111171947.2816258-1-idosch@nvidia.com> (raw)

When coupled control is disabled, a port in COLLECTING state is supposed
to receive packets, but it does not. The bond only delivers packets from
slaves whose 'inactive' flag is cleared, whereas
bond_set_slave_rx_enabled_flags() only clears 'rx_disabled'.

Fix by clearing 'inactive' as well.

Notes:
    Targeting at net-next since this never worked.
    
    Known issues that this patch does not address:
    
    1. Changing 'all_slaves_active' from 1 to 0 while a port is in
       COLLECTING state sets its 'inactive' flag and the port stops
       receiving until the next mux state transition. This is not new,
       COLLECTING is a transient state and the option is off by default, so I
       do not think it is worth handling.
    
    2. The 'inactive' flag shares a bitfield with other slave flags. The
       802.3ad state machine writes them under the mode lock, while the
       'all_slaves_active' handler writes 'inactive' under RTNL only. This is
       not new.
