Before this change when a bond in mode 2 lost link, all of its slaves
lost link, the bonding device would never recover even after the
expiration of updelay. This change removes the updelay when the bond
currently has no usable links. Conforming to bonding.txt section 13.1
paragraph 4.

Why are you targeting net-next? This looks like something suitable to
the -net tree to me. If, so could you please include a Fixes tag?

Note that we can add new self-tests even via the -net tree.


I could not find a reasonable fixes tag for this, hence why I targeted the net-next tree.
