net: bonding: update the slave array for broadcast mode

2026-06-01T15:39:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit e0caeb24f538c3c9c94f471882ceeb43d9dc2739 ] This patch fixes ce7a381697cb ("net: bonding: add broadcast_neighbor option for 802.3ad"). Before this commit, on the broadcast mode, all devices were traversed using the bond_for_each_slave_rcu. This patch supports traversing devices by using all_slaves. Therefore, we need to update the slave array when enslave or release slave.

bonding: fix NULL pointer dereference in actor_port_prio setting

2026-06-01T15:39:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 067bf016e99ad72aa4ff869d6dec1fd62a9c6202 ] Liang reported an issue where setting a slave’s actor_port_prio to predefined values such as 0, 255, or 65535 would cause a system crash. The problem occurs because in bond_opt_parse(), when the provided value matches a predefined table entry, the function returns that table entry, which does not contain slave information. Later, in bond_option_actor_port_prio_set(), calling bond_slave_get_rtnl() leads to a NULL pointer dereference. Since actor_port_prio is defined as a u16 and initialized to the default value of 255 in ad_initialize_port(), there is no need for the bond_actor_port_prio_tbl. Using the BOND_OPTFLAG_RAWVAL flag is sufficient.

net: bonding: add broadcast_neighbor option for 802.3ad

2026-06-01T15:39:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit ce7a381697cb3958ffe0b45e5028ac69444e9288 ] Stacking technology is a type of technology used to expand ports on Ethernet switches. It is widely used as a common access method in large-scale Internet data center architectures. Years of practice have proved that stacking technology has advantages and disadvantages in high-reliability network architecture scenarios. For instance, in stacking networking arch, conventional switch system upgrades require multiple stacked devices to restart at the same time. Therefore, it is inevitable that the business will be interrupted for a while. It is for this reason that "no-stacking" in data centers has become a trend. Additionally, when the stacking link connecting the switches fails or is abnormal, the stack will split. Although it is not common, it still happens in actual operation. The problem is that after the split, it is equivalent to two switches with the same configuration appearing in the network, causing network configuration conflicts and ultimately interrupting the services carried by the stacking system. To improve network stability, "non-stacking" solutions have been increasingly adopted, particularly by public cloud providers and tech companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Didi. "non-stacking" is a method of mimicing switch stacking that convinces a LACP peer, bonding in this case, connected to a set of "non-stacked" switches that all of its ports are connected to a single switch (i.e., LACP aggregator), as if those switches were stacked. This enables the LACP peer's ports to aggregate together, and requires (a) special switch configuration, described in the linked article, and (b) modifications to the bonding 802.3ad (LACP) mode to send all ARP/ND packets across all ports of the active aggregator. Note that, with multiple aggregators, the current broadcast mode logic will send only packets to the selected aggregator(s). +-----------+ +-----------+ | switch1 | | switch2 | +-----------+ +-----------+ ^ ^ | | +-----------------+ | bond4 lacp | +-----------------+ | | | NIC1 | NIC2 +-----------------+ | server | +-----------------+ - https://www.ruijie.com/fr-fr/support/tech-gallery/de-stack-data-center-network-architecture/ Cc: Jay Vosburgh Cc: "David S.

bonding: 802.3ad replace MAC_ADDRESS_EQUAL with __agg_has_partner

2026-06-01T15:39:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4440873f3655325f849366d75382aa05d09b5575 ] Replace macro MAC_ADDRESS_EQUAL() for null_mac_addr checking with inline function__agg_has_partner(). When MAC_ADDRESS_EQUAL() is verifiying aggregator's partner mac addr with null_mac_addr, means that seeing if aggregator has a valid partner or not. Using __agg_has_partner() makes it more clear to understand. In ad_port_selection_logic(), since aggregator->partner_system and port->partner_oper.system has been compared first as a prerequisite, it is safe to replace the upcoming MAC_ADDRESS_EQUAL() for null_mac_addr checking with __agg_has_partner(). Delete null_mac_addr, which is not required anymore in bond_3ad.c, since all references to it are gone.
