Quote from Documentation/networking/bonding.txt:
"Note that when a bonding interface has no active links, the
driver will immediately reuse the first link that goes up, even if the
updelay parameter has been specified (the updelay is ignored in this
case). If there are slave interfaces waiting for the updelay timeout
to expire, the interface that first went into that state will be
immediately reused. This reduces down time of the network if the
value of updelay has been overestimated, and since this occurs only in
cases with no connectivity, there is no additional penalty for
ignoring the updelay."
This patch actually changes the behaviour in this way.

Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list
that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006).
Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now
copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the
zero entry at the end. With this change we can now have
all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero
since there will be no addresses after it.
Changes are based in part on code fragment provided in kernel:

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

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.

The thing that gets it right is when I unplug the cable and then I put it back

just fine. Here is dmesg log with bonding DEBUG messages turned on:

The current active slave is set by calling bond_select_active_slave() function
from bond_miimon_commit() function when the slave (eth1) link goes to state up.
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.

The un-refactored code checked the link speed and duplex of

The 802.3ad and balance-alb/tlb modes utilize the speed and

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.

This patch implements alternative aggregator selection policies
for 802.3ad. The existing policy, now termed "stable," selects the active
aggregator by greatest bandwidth, and only reselects a new aggregator
if the active aggregator is entirely disabled (no more ports or all ports
down).
This patch adds two new policies: bandwidth and count, selecting
the active aggregator by total bandwidth (like the stable policy) or by
the number of ports in the aggregator, respectively. These two policies
also differ from the stable policy in that they will reselect the active
aggregator when availability-related changes occur in the bond (e.g.,
link state change).
This permits "gang failover" within 802.3ad, allowing redundant
aggregators along parallel paths to always maintain the "best" aggregator
as the active aggregator (rather than having to wait for the active to
entirely fail).
This patch also updates the driver version to 3.5.0.

This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices,
especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses
configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko.
- Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the
IPv6-specific routines. Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds
are supported.
- Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited
IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event.
Default is 1.
- Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions:
ndisc_build_skb()
ndisc_send_skb()
These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to
add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends
shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically
__ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order.
- Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond
support to 3.4.0.
On failover, this new code will generate one packet:
- An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch
learn that the address has moved to the new slave.
Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good
behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.
