Subject: RE: [Bugme-new] [Bug 29712] New: Bonding Driver(version : 3.5.0) - Problem with ARP monitoring in active backup mode

Attached patch resolves the issue. Failover happened back to primary
when it was up again in both the point to point and switch
configuration.

Please let us know if this change can be included.

Thanks,

- Harsha

I can add some more info since I originally looked at the problem.  This
happens on 2.6.38 as well, and on this 2.6.32 kernel with a backported
3.7.0 bonding driver (with the primary_reselect option).  Harsha has a
prototype patch that's being tested, but wanted to log the bug to see
if one of the bonding maintainers had a better solution.

I'll let him respond as I'm now out of the loop...

Thanks,

-Brian
