bonding: 3ad: implement proper RCU rules for port->aggregator

2026-05-23T11:09:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit c4f050ce06c56cfb5993268af4a5cb66ed1cd04e ] syzbot found a data-race in bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info / bond_3ad_state_machine_handler [1] which hints at lack of proper RCU implementation. Add __rcu qualifier to port->aggregator, and add proper RCU API.

bonding: support aggregator selection based on port priority

2025-09-09T08:56:02+00:00

Add a new ad_select policy 'port_priority' that uses the per-port actor priority values (set via ad_actor_port_prio) to determine aggregator selection. This allows administrators to influence which ports are preferred for aggregation by assigning different priority values, providing more flexible load balancing control in LACP configurations.

bonding: add support for per-port LACP actor priority

2025-09-09T08:56:02+00:00

Introduce a new netlink attribute 'actor_port_prio' to allow setting the LACP actor port priority on a per-slave basis. This extends the existing bonding infrastructure to support more granular control over LACP negotiations. The priority value is embedded in LACPDU packets and will be used by subsequent patches to influence aggregator selection policies.

bonding: Add independent control state machine

2024-02-06T12:17:54+00:00

Add support for the independent control state machine per IEEE 802.1AX-2008 5.4.15 in addition to the existing implementation of the coupled control state machine. Introduces two new states, AD_MUX_COLLECTING and AD_MUX_DISTRIBUTING in the LACP MUX state machine for separated handling of an initial Collecting state before the Collecting and Distributing state. This enables a port to be in a state where it can receive incoming packets while not still distributing. This is useful for reducing packet loss when a port begins distributing before its partner is able to collect. Added new functions such as bond_set_slave_tx_disabled_flags and bond_set_slave_rx_enabled_flags to precisely manage the port's collecting and distributing states. Previously, there was no dedicated method to disable TX while keeping RX enabled, which this patch addresses. Note that the regular flow process in the kernel's bonding driver remains unaffected by this patch. The extension requires explicit opt-in by the user (in order to ensure no disruptions for existing setups) via netlink support using the new bonding parameter coupled_control. The default value for coupled_control is set to 1 so as to preserve existing behaviour.
