    bonding:update speed/duplex for NETDEV_CHANGE · 98f41f69

    Zheng Liang(lzheng@redhat.com) found a bug that if we config bonding with
    arp monitor, sometimes bonding driver cannot get the speed and duplex from
    its slaves, it will assume them to be 100Mb/sec and Full, please see
    /proc/net/bonding/bond0.
    But there is no such problem when uses miimon.
    
    (Take igb for example)
    I find that the reason is that after dev_open() in bond_enslave(),
    bond_update_speed_duplex() will call igb_get_settings()
    , but in that function,
    it runs ethtool_cmd_speed_set(ecmd, -1); ecmd->duplex = -1;
    because igb get an error value of status.
    So even dev_open() is called, but the device is not really ready to get its
    settings.
    
    Maybe it is safe for us to call igb_get_settings() only after
    this message shows up, that is "igb: p4p1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex,
    Flow Control: RX".
    
    So I prefer to update the speed and duplex for a slave when reseices
    NETDEV_CHANGE/NETDEV_UP event.
    
    Changelog
    V2:
    1 remove the "fake 100/Full" logic in bond_update_speed_duplex(),
      set speed and duplex to -1 when it gets error value of speed and duplex.
    2 delete the warning in bond_enslave() if bond_update_speed_duplex() returns
      error.
    3 make bond_info_show_slave() handle bad values of speed and duplex.
