[PATCH net v5 2/3] bonding: 802.3ad: fix no transmission of LACPDUs

From: Jonathan Toppins
Date: Fri Aug 19 2022 - 11:15:54 EST


This is caused by the global variable ad_ticks_per_sec being zero as
demonstrated by the reproducer script discussed below. This causes
all timer values in __ad_timer_to_ticks to be zero, resulting
in the periodic timer to never fire.

To reproduce:
Run the script in
`tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/bonding/bond-break-lacpdu-tx.sh` which
puts bonding into a state where it never transmits LACPDUs.

line 44: ip link add fbond type bond mode 4 miimon 200 \
xmit_hash_policy 1 ad_actor_sys_prio 65535 lacp_rate fast
setting bond param: ad_actor_sys_prio
given:
params.ad_actor_system = 0
call stack:
bond_option_ad_actor_sys_prio()
-> bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings()
-> set ad.system.sys_priority = bond->params.ad_actor_sys_prio
-> ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr; because
params.ad_actor_system == 0
results:
ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr

line 48: ip link set fbond address 52:54:00:3B:7C:A6
setting bond MAC addr
call stack:
bond->dev->dev_addr = new_mac

line 52: ip link set fbond type bond ad_actor_sys_prio 65535
setting bond param: ad_actor_sys_prio
given:
params.ad_actor_system = 0
call stack:
bond_option_ad_actor_sys_prio()
-> bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings()
-> set ad.system.sys_priority = bond->params.ad_actor_sys_prio
-> ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr; because
params.ad_actor_system == 0
results:
ad.system.sys_mac_addr = bond->dev->dev_addr

line 60: ip link set veth1-bond down master fbond
given:
params.ad_actor_system = 0
params.mode = BOND_MODE_8023AD
ad.system.sys_mac_addr == bond->dev->dev_addr
call stack:
bond_enslave
-> bond_3ad_initialize(); because first slave
-> if ad.system.sys_mac_addr != bond->dev->dev_addr
return
results:
Nothing is run in bond_3ad_initialize() because dev_addr equals
sys_mac_addr leaving the global ad_ticks_per_sec zero as it is
never initialized anywhere else.

The if check around the contents of bond_3ad_initialize() is no longer
needed due to commit 5ee14e6d336f ("bonding: 3ad: apply ad_actor settings
changes immediately") which sets ad.system.sys_mac_addr if any one of
the bonding parameters whos set function calls
bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings(). This is because if
ad.system.sys_mac_addr is zero it will be set to the current bond mac
address, this causes the if check to never be true.

Fixes: 5ee14e6d336f ("bonding: 3ad: apply ad_actor settings changes immediately")

Notes:
v2:
* split this fix from the reproducer
v3:
* rebased to latest net/master
v4:
* instead of setting ad_ticks_per_sec remove the if statement around the
body of the function of bond_3ad_initialize().
v5:
* no changes
