Subject: Re: [RESEND PATCH v5] net: bonding: Add support for IPV6 ns/na to balance-alb/balance-tlb mode


	I'm getting back to this after the holiday break, and have some
follow up from our prior discussions that I'll paste in below.

	So, presumably then the original issue (with the topology
diagram that's now omitted) can recur 10 seconds later (after a TLB
rebalance)?  If so, I don't understand why this patch is an improvement.

	Does assigning all NS/NA to the curr_active_slave avoid the
inconsistency when a TLB side rebalance occurs?  I believe it should,
but want to confirm.

	As for the RLB functionality (i.e., the balance-alb remote to
local load balance), that is not implemented for IPv6 and this patch is
not providing an implementation of the RLB logic for IPv6, so I'm
unclear why you expect it to work, or what the "mismatch Bond6
specification" is.

	To be clear, implementing RLB for IPv6 would include what this
patch is doing (adjusting the content of NS/NA datagrams), but a
complete implementation requires additional logic that isn't here, e.g.,
adding IPv6 logic to the RLB rebalance code, connecting NS/NA
manipulation to rlb_choose_channel(), and likely other things that don't
come immediately to mind.

	In summary, it sounds to me like the actual bug originally
reported (with the now-omitted diagram) would be resolved by assigning
NS/NA datagrams to the curr_active_slave, and supporting RLB for IPv6 is
a larger project than what's provided by this patch.  Am I understanding
correctly?
