This is a lot of subtle changes for one patch, and it's
difficult to read the patch and figure out which of the above points
corresponds to which code change(s). I think this would have been
better as 2 or 3 patches, perhaps without the first blocks that merely
add debug statements.
In general, though, I believe I understand the problems and the
solutions, and the solutions appear sound.
For point 1, what it's doing is introducing an "ATTACHED-ish"
state, ultimately because the standard lacks the concept of "active" or
"inactive" aggregator. From my reading, when the port transitions to
ATTACHED state, 5.4.15 "Mux machine" requires that it set SYNC at that
time.
I understand why we would want to not enable SYNC for a port
that's a member of an aggregator that will not currently send or receive
traffic (is inactive in bonding-speak), but in my opinion we are
violating the standard and really should note that fact, and why we're
doing so, in the code.
Point 2 is similar to point 1 (although here we're not
transitioning from ATTACHED to COLLECTING / COLLECTING_DISTRIBUTING
when the partner's SYNC is true); same comment applies.
Points 3 and 4 look to be independent issues from points 1 and
2, and could be simple independent patches.
