In bond priority testing, we set the primary interface to eth1 and add eth0,1,2 to bond in serial. This is OK in normal times. But when in debug kernel, the bridge port that eth0,1,2 connected would start slowly (enter blocking, forwarding state), which caused the primary interface down for a while after enslaving and active slave changed. Here is a test log from Jakub's debug test[1]. [ 400.399070][ T50] br0: port 1(s0) entered disabled state [ 400.400168][ T50] br0: port 4(s2) entered disabled state [ 400.941504][ T2791] bond0: (slave eth0): making interface the new active one [ 400.942603][ T2791] bond0: (slave eth0): Enslaving as an active interface with an up link [ 400.943633][ T2766] br0: port 1(s0) entered blocking state [ 400.944119][ T2766] br0: port 1(s0) entered forwarding state [ 401.128792][ T2792] bond0: (slave eth1): making interface the new active one [ 401.130771][ T2792] bond0: (slave eth1): Enslaving as an active interface with an up link [ 401.131643][ T69] br0: port 2(s1) entered blocking state [ 401.132067][ T69] br0: port 2(s1) entered forwarding state [ 401.346201][ T2793] bond0: (slave eth2): Enslaving as a backup interface with an up link [ 401.348414][ T50] br0: port 4(s2) entered blocking state [ 401.348857][ T50] br0: port 4(s2) entered forwarding state [ 401.519669][ T250] bond0: (slave eth0): link status definitely down, disabling slave [ 401.526522][ T250] bond0: (slave eth1): link status definitely down, disabling slave [ 401.526986][ T250] bond0: (slave eth2): making interface the new active one [ 401.629470][ T250] bond0: (slave eth0): link status definitely up [ 401.630089][ T250] bond0: (slave eth1): link status definitely up [...] # TEST: prio (active-backup ns_ip6_target primary_reselect 1) [FAIL] # Current active slave is eth2 but not eth1 Fix it by setting active slave to primary slave specifically before testing.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
