[PATCH 4.9 03/30] bonding: fix active-backup transition

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3f3c278c94dd994fe0d9f21679ae19b9c0a55292 upstream.

Earlier patch c4adfc822bf5 ("bonding: make speed, duplex setting
consistent with link state") made an attempt to keep slave state
consistent with speed and duplex settings. Unfortunately link-state
transition is used to change the active link especially when used
in conjunction with mii-mon. The above mentioned patch broke that
logic. Also when speed and duplex settings for a link are updated
during a link-event, the link-status should not be changed to
invoke correct transition logic.

This patch fixes this issue by moving the link-state update outside
of the bond_update_speed_duplex() fn and to the places where this fn
is called and update link-state selectively.

Fixes: c4adfc822bf5 ("bonding: make speed, duplex setting consistent
with link state")
