Do you mean what happens with vlan device with real_dev is bonding ?
With patches:
1) A is added
bond_enslave()
bond_compute_features()
-> bond_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed (set)
netdev_change_features()
vlan_device_event(event=NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE)
vlan_transfer_features()
-> vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed (still set)
Then B is added
bond_enslave()
bond_compute_features()
-> bond_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is changed (cleared)
netdev_change_features()
vlan_device_event(event=NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE)
vlan_transfer_features()
-> vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is changed (cleared)
2) B is added
bond_enslave()
bond_compute_features()
-> bond_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is changed (cleared)
netdev_change_features()
vlan_device_event(event=NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE)
vlan_transfer_features()
-> vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is changed (cleared)
Then A is added
bond_enslave()
bond_compute_features()
-> bond_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed (cleared)
netdev_change_features()
vlan_device_event(event=NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE)
vlan_transfer_features()
-> vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed (cleared).
Without patches:
1) A is added
bond_enslave()
bond_compute_features()
-> bond_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed (set)
netdev_change_features()
vlan_device_event(event=NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE)
vlan_transfer_features()
-> vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed (cleared)
Then B is added
bond_enslave()
bond_compute_features()
-> bond_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is changed (cleared)
netdev_change_features()
vlan_device_event(event=NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE)
vlan_transfer_features()
-> vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed(cleared)
2) B is added
bond_enslave()
bond_compute_features()
-> bond_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is changed (cleared)
netdev_change_features()
vlan_device_event(event=NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE)
vlan_transfer_features()
-> vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed(cleared)
Then A is added
bond_enslave()
bond_compute_features()
-> bond_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed (cleared)
netdev_change_features()
vlan_device_event(event=NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE)
vlan_transfer_features()
-> vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is not changed (cleared).
Do you mean that the problem is in the first case in the gap between
netdev_change_features() and vlan_device_event() when bond_dev
IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is cleared and vlan_dev IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is
still set?
