bonding: select current active slave when enslaving device for mode tlb and alb
I've hit an issue on my system when I've been using RealTek RTL8139D cards in bonding interface in mode balancing-alb. When I enslave a card, the current active slave (bond->curr_active_slave) is not set and the link is therefore not functional. ---- # cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.5.0 (November 4, 2008) Bonding Mode: adaptive load balancing Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: None MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth1 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:1f:1f:01:2f:22 ---- The thing that gets it right is when I unplug the cable and then I put it back into the NIC. Then the current active slave is set to eth1 and link is working just fine. Here is dmesg log with bonding DEBUG messages turned on: ---- ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): bond0: link is not ready event_dev: bond0, event: 1 IFF_MASTER event_dev: bond0, event: 8 IFF_MASTER bond_ioctl: master=bond0, cmd=35216 slave_dev=cac5d800: slave_dev->name=eth1: eth1: !

I also tested this on other machine with Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T NIC and there all works fine. The thing is that this adapter is down and goes up after few seconds after it is enslaved. This patch calls bond_select_active_slave() in bond_enslave() function for modes alb and tlb and makes sure that the current active slave is set up properly even when the slave state is already up. Tested on both systems, works fine. Notice: The same problem can maybe also occrur in mode 8023AD but I'm unable to test that. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
