bonding: fix devconf_all NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled

2026-08-03T09:15:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1c975de3343cdef506f2eecc833cc1f14b0401c4 ] When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the devconf_all is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before addrconf_init() is called which initializes it. bond_send_validate(), however, will still call bond_ns_send_all() even ipv6 is indeed disabled. It will lead to NULL derefence of net->ipv6.devconf_all in ip6_pol_route().

bonding: 3ad: fix mux port state on oper down

2026-07-24T14:03:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 807afc7544b865d4d09068a415fd5b71bf5665cc ] When the bonding interface has carrier down due to the absence of usable slaves and a slave transitions from down to up, the bonding interface briefly goes carrier up, then down again, and finally up once LACP negotiates collecting and distributing on the port. When lacp_strict mode is on, the interface should not transition to carrier up until LACP negotiation is complete. This happens because the actor and partner port states remain in Collecting_Distributing when the port goes down. When the port comes back up, it temporarily remains in this state until LACP renegotiation occurs. Previously this was mostly cosmetic, but since the bonding carrier state may depend on the LACP negotiation state, it causes the interface to flap. According to IEEE 802.3ad-2000 and IEEE 802.1ax-2014, Collecting and Distributing should be reset when a port goes down: - In the Receive state machine, port_enabled == FALSE causes a transition to the PORT_DISABLED state, which is expected to clear Partner_Oper_Port_State.Synchronization. - In the Mux state machine, Partner_Oper_Port_State.Synchronization == FALSE causes a transition to the ATTACHED state, which disables Collecting and Distributing. However, Partner_Oper_Port_State.Synchronization is not cleared in the PORT_DISABLED state. Clear Partner_Oper_Port_State.Synchronization in the Receive PORT_DISABLED state.

Functions like ipgre_header(), ip6gre_header(),all use netdev_priv(dev) to access their device-specific private data. When called with the bond device, netdev_priv() returns the bond's private data (struct bonding) instead of the expected type (e.g. struct ip_tunnel), leading to garbage values being read and kernel crashes. Fix this by introducing bond_header_ops with wrapper functions that delegate to the active slave's header_ops using the slave's own device. This ensures netdev_priv() in the slave's header functions always receives the correct device. The fix is placed in the bonding driver rather than individual device drivers, as the root cause is bond blindly inheriting header_ops from the slave without considering that these callbacks expect a specific netdev_priv() layout. The type confusion can be observed by adding a printk in ipgre_header() and running the following commands: ip link add dummy0 type dummy ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev dummy0 ip link set dummy0 up ip link add gre1 type gre local 10.0.0.1 ip link add bond1 type bond mode active-backup ip link set gre1 master bond1 ip link set gre1 up ip link set bond1 up ip addr add fe80::1/64 dev bond1 Fixes: 1284cd3a2b74 ("bonding: two small fixes for IPoIB support") Suggested-by: Jay Vosburgh Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Jiayuan Chen Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260306021508.222062-1-jiayuan.chen@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: Wentao Guan Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

bonding: fix xfrm offload feature setup on active-backup mode

2026-07-24T14:02:38+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5b66169f6be4847008c0aea50885ff0632151479 ] The active-backup bonding mode supports XFRM ESP offload. However, when a bond is added using command like `ip link add bond0 type bond mode 1 miimon 100`, the `ethtool -k` command shows that the XFRM ESP offload is disabled. This occurs because, in bond_newlink(), we change bond link first and register bond device later. So the XFRM feature update in bond_option_mode_set() is not called as the bond device is not yet registered, leading to the offload feature not being set successfully. To resolve this issue, we can modify the code order in bond_newlink() to ensure that the bond device is registered first before changing the bond link parameters. This change will allow the XFRM ESP offload feature to be correctly enabled.

We use similar helper netdev_for_each_lower_dev() in netdev_compute_master_upper_features() to iterate the slave device, as there is not need to get the private data. No functional change intended.

bonding: Correctly support GSO ESP offload

[ Upstream commit 9e6c4e6b605c1fa3e24f74ee0b641e95f090188a ] The referenced fix is incomplete. It correctly computes bond_dev->gso_partial_features across slaves, but unfortunately netdev_fix_features discards gso_partial_features from the feature set if NETIF_F_GSO_PARTIAL isn't set in bond_dev->features.
