Louis Scalbert 015e32e264 bonding: 3ad: fix mux port state on oper down
[ Upstream commit 807afc7544 ]

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.

According to IEEE 802.3ad-2000 and IEEE 802.1ax-2014, Collecting and
Distributing should be reset when a port goes down:
- In the Receive state machine, port_enabled == FALSE causes a
  transition to the PORT_DISABLED state, which is expected to clear
  Partner_Oper_Port_State.Synchronization.
- In the Mux state machine, Partner_Oper_Port_State.Synchronization ==
  FALSE causes a transition to the ATTACHED state, which disables
  Collecting and Distributing.

However, Partner_Oper_Port_State.Synchronization is not cleared in the
PORT_DISABLED state.

Clear Partner_Oper_Port_State.Synchronization in the Receive
PORT_DISABLED state.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
