Since commit 6fde8f037e ("bonding: fix locking in
bond_loadbalance_arp_mon()") we can have a stale bond carrier state and
stale curr_active_slave when using arp monitoring in loadbalance modes. The
reason is that in bond_loadbalance_arp_mon() we can't have
do_failover == true but slave_state_changed == false, whenever do_failover
is true then slave_state_changed is also true. Then the following piece
from bond_loadbalance_arp_mon():
if (slave_state_changed) {
bond_slave_state_change(bond);
if (BOND_MODE(bond) == BOND_MODE_XOR)
bond_update_slave_arr(bond, NULL);
} else if (do_failover) {
block_netpoll_tx();
bond_select_active_slave(bond);
unblock_netpoll_tx();
}
will execute only the first branch, always and regardless of do_failover.
Since these two events aren't related in such way, we need to decouple and
consider them separately.
For example this issue could lead to the following result:
Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin)
*MII Status: down*
MII Polling Interval (ms): 0
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0
ARP Polling Interval (ms): 100
ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): 192.168.9.2
Slave Interface: ens12
*MII Status: up*
Speed: 10000 Mbps
Duplex: full
Link Failure Count: 2
Permanent HW addr: 00:0f:53:01:42:2c
Slave queue ID: 0
Slave Interface: eth1
*MII Status: up*
Speed: Unknown
Duplex: Unknown
Link Failure Count: 70
Permanent HW addr: 52:54:00:2f:0f:8e
Slave queue ID: 0
Since some interfaces are up, then the status of the bond should also be
up, but it will never change unless something invokes bond_set_carrier()
(i.e. enslave, bond_select_active_slave etc). Now, if I force the
calling of bond_select_active_slave via for example changing
primary_reselect (it can change in any mode), then the MII status goes to
"up" because it calls bond_select_active_slave() which should've been done
from bond_loadbalance_arp_mon() itself.
