From b02e3e948de6c11fded1821d89012e24d953da12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venkat Venkatsubra Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2015 07:57:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: Gratuitous ARP gets dropped when first slave added When the first slave is added (such as during bootup) the first gratuitous ARP gets dropped. We don't see this drop during a failover. The packet gets dropped in qdisc (noop_enqueue). The fix is to delay the sending of gratuitous ARPs till the bond dev's carrier is present. It can also be worked around by setting num_grat_arp to more than 1. Signed-off-by: Venkat Venkatsubra Signed-off-by: David S.
