bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work properly in bridge -try4.3
[PATCH net-next] bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work properly in bridge -try4.3 (updated) changes v4.2 -> v4.3 - memcpy the address always, not just in case it differs from master->dev_addr - compare_ether_addr_64bits() is not used so there is no direct need to make new header file (I think it would be good to have bond stuff in separate file anyway). changes v4.1 -> v4.2 - use skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST compare rather then comparing skb dest addr against skb->dev->dev_addr The problem is described in following bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487763 Basically here's what's going on. In every mode, bonding interface uses the same mac address for all enslaved devices (except fail_over_mac). Only balance-alb will simultaneously use multiple MAC addresses across different slaves. When you put this kind of bond device into a bridge it will only add one of mac adresses into a hash list of mac addresses, say X. This mac address is marked as local. But this bonding interface also has mac address Y. Now then packet arrives with destination address Y, this address is not marked as local and the packed looks like it needs to be forwarded. This packet is then lost which is wrong. Notice that interfaces can be added and removed from bond while it is in bridge. *** When the multiple addresses for bridge port approach failed to solve this issue due to STP I started to think other way to solve this. I returned to previous solution but tweaked one. This patch solves the situation in the bonding without touching bridge code. For every incoming frame to bonding the destination address is compared to current address of the slave device from which tha packet came. If these two match destination address is replaced by mac address of the master. This address is known by bridge so it is delivered properly. Note that the comparsion is not made directly, it's used skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST instead. This is "set" previously in eth_type_trans(). I experimentally tried that this works as good as searching through the slave list (v4 of this patch).
