bond_3ad_sta...hine_handler(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so, bestie — welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for bond_3ad_state_machine_handler (the header shows it as the truncated bond_3ad_sta...hine_handler(9), and yes, that ellipsis is literally there 😭). This one is all about handling state machines timeout 💅.

bond_3ad_state_machine_handler — handle state machines timeout ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void bond_3ad_state_machine_handler (struct work_struct *work );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• work — the work context to fetch the bonding struct to work on from 💖

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so the state-machine handling concept in this module is: every tick, check which state machine should operate any function 👀. The execution order is round robin 🔁, so when there's an interaction between state machines, the reply of one to each other might be delayed until the next tick 😭. That's the vibe — delayed reply, not forgotten, bestie.

This function also completes the initialization when agg_select_timer times out ⏰. It selects an aggregator for the ports that are yet not related to any aggregator, and it selects the active aggregator for a bond. slay 💅.
