If all slaves of a balance-rr bond with ARP monitor are enslaved with down link state, bond keeps down state even after slaves go up.
This is caused by bond_enslave() setting curr_active_slave to first slave not taking into account its link state. As bond_loadbalance_arp_mon() uses curr_active_slave to identify whether slave's down->up transition should update bond's link state, bond stays down even if slaves are up (until first slave goes from up to down at least once). Before commit f31c7937 "bonding: start slaves with link down for ARP monitor", this was masked by slaves always starting in UP state with ARP monitor (and MII monitor not relying on curr_active_slave being NULL if there is no slave up).
