bond_3ad_update_lacp_rate(9)

💅 bond_3ad_update_lacp_rate(9) — from the Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so first things first, bestie: the manual name is bond_3ad_update_lacp_rate(9) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual — that's the vibe. this is a kernel function page, section 9, and it's all about changing the LACP rate. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

bond_3ad_update_lacp_rate — literally just "change the lacp rate" 💫 no cap, that's the whole job.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void bond_3ad_update_lacp_rate (struct bonding *bond );

it returns void (so, nothing, she gives nothing back and that's iconic), and it takes exactly one argument. periodt.

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• bond — the bonding struct 🫶 that's it, that's the parameter. it's your struct bonding * and she's the main character of this whole function.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — when you modify the lacp_rate parameter via sysfs, this function goes in and updates actor_oper_port_state of each port. every single one. she's thorough like that 💅

and the important bit, do not skip this: it holds bond->mode_lock, so we can modify port->actor_oper_port_state — no matter whether bond is up or down. up? down? doesn't matter, the lock's got it covered 🔥

bestie pls note: the bond->mode_lock hold is the whole reason this is safe regardless of the bond's up/down state, so don't go thinking you can skip it 🙈
