The problem was introduced by the commit 1d3ee88ae0
(bonding: add netlink attributes to slave link dev).
The bond_set_active_slave() and bond_set_backup_slave()
will use rtmsg_ifinfo to send slave's states, so these
two functions should be called in RTNL.
In 802.3ad mode, acquiring RTNL for the __enable_port and
__disable_port cases is difficult, as those calls generally
already hold the state machine lock, and cannot unconditionally
call rtnl_lock because either they already hold RTNL (for calls
via bond_3ad_unbind_slave) or due to the potential for deadlock
with bond_3ad_adapter_speed_changed, bond_3ad_adapter_duplex_changed,
bond_3ad_link_change, or bond_3ad_update_lacp_rate. All four of
those are called with RTNL held, and acquire the state machine lock
second. The calling contexts for __enable_port and __disable_port
already hold the state machine lock, and may or may not need RTNL.
According to the Jay's opinion, I don't think it is a problem that
the slave don't send notify message synchronously when the status
changed, normally the state machine is running every 100 ms, send
the notify message at the end of the state machine if the slave's
state changed should be better.
I fix the problem through these steps:
1). add a new function bond_set_slave_state() which could change
the slave's state and call rtmsg_ifinfo() according to the input
parameters called notify.
2). Add a new slave parameter which called should_notify, if the slave's state
changed and don't notify yet, the parameter will be set to 1, and then if
the slave's state changed again, the param will be set to 0, it indicate that
the slave's state has been restored, no need to notify any one.
3). the __enable_port and __disable_port should not call rtmsg_ifinfo
in the state machine lock, any change in the state of slave could
set a flag in the slave, it will indicated that an rtmsg_ifinfo
should be called at the end of the state machine.
