[PATCH net-next] bonding: fix wrong port enabling in 802.3ad

From: Flavio Leitner <hidden>
Date: 2011-10-13 17:21:49
Subsystem: bonding driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jay Vosburgh, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The port shouldn't be enabled unless its current MUX
state is DISTRIBUTING which is correctly handled by
ad_mux_machine(), otherwise the packet sent can be
lost because the other end may not be ready.

The issue happens on every port initialization, but
as the ports are expected to move quickly to DISTRIBUTING,
it doesn't cause much problem.  However, it does cause
constant packet loss if the other peer has the port
configured to stay in STANDBY (i.e. SYNC set to OFF).

The comments there suggests it was a workaround for losses
of link events, but I couldn't track the changelog as it
seems to be pretty old.  Thus, as all the link notification
stuff has been improved a lot, maybe this is not an issue
anymore.  At least, I didn't find any problem while
unplugging/plugging cables here.
