4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d94708a553022bf012fa95af10532a134eeb5a52 ] Commit de77ecd4ef02 ("bonding: improve link-status update in mii-monitoring") moves link status commitment into bond_mii_monitor(), but it still relies on the return value of bond_miimon_inspect() as the hint. We need to return non-zero as long as we propose a link status change.
