4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jarod Wilson <jarod@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ea53abfab960909d622ca37bcfb8e1c5378d21cc upstream. Commit 4d2c0cda07448ea6980f00102dc3964eb25e241c set slave->link to BOND_LINK_DOWN for 802.3ad bonds whenever invalid speed/duplex values were read, to fix a problem with slaves getting into weird states, but in the process, broke tracking of link failures, as going straight to BOND_LINK_DOWN when a link is indeed down (cable pulled, switch rebooted) means we broke out of bond_miimon_inspect()'s BOND_LINK_DOWN case because !link_state was already true, we never incremented commit, and never got a chance to call bond_miimon_commit(), where slave->link_failure_count would be incremented. I believe the simple fix here is to mark the slave as BOND_LINK_FAIL, and let bond_miimon_inspect() transition the link from _FAIL to either _UP or _DOWN, and in the latter case, we now get proper incrementing of link_failure_count again.
