The bond works in mode 4, and performs down/up operations on the bond
that is normally negotiated. The probability of bond-> slave_arr is NULL
Test commands:
ifconfig bond1 down
ifconfig bond1 up
The conflict occurs in the following process:
__dev_open (CPU A)
--bond_open
--queue_delayed_work(bond->wq,&bond->ad_work,0);
--bond_update_slave_arr
--bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info
ad_work(CPU B)
--bond_3ad_state_machine_handler
--ad_agg_selection_logic
ad_work runs on cpu B. In the function ad_agg_selection_logic, all
agg->is_active will be cleared. Before the new active aggregator is
selected on CPU B, bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info failed on CPU A,
bond->slave_arr will be set to NULL. The best aggregator in
ad_agg_selection_logic has not changed, no need to update slave arr.

The described issue is a race condition (in that
ad_agg_selection_logic clears agg->is_active under mode_lock, but
bond_open -> bond_update_slave_arr is inspecting agg->is_active outside
the lock). I don't see how the above change will reliably manage this;
the real issue looks to be that bond_update_slave_arr is committing
changes to the array (via bond_reset_slave_arr) based on a racy
inspection of the active aggregator state while it is in flux.
Also, the description of the issue says "The best aggregator in
ad_agg_selection_logic has not changed, no need to update slave arr,"
but the change above does the opposite, and will set update_slave_arr
when the aggregator has not changed (update_slave_arr remains false at
return of ad_agg_selection_logic).
I believe I understand the described problem, but I don't see
how the patch fixes it. I suspect (but haven't tested) that the proper
fix is to acquire mode_lock in bond_update_slave_arr while calling
bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info to avoid conflict with the state machine.
