This patch fixes a subtle PACKET_ORIGDEV regression which was a side effect of fixes introduced by:6a9e461f6fbonding: pass link-local packets to bonding master also. ... to:b89f04c61ebonding: deliver link-local packets with skb->dev set to link that packets arrived on While6a9e461f6frestored pre-b89f04c61efe presence of link-local packets on bonding masters (which is required e.g. by linux bridges participating in spanning tree or needed for lab-like setups created with group_fwd_mask) it also caused the originating device information to be lost due to cloning. Maciej Żenczykowski proposed another solution that doesn't require packet cloning and retains original device information - instead of returning RX_HANDLER_PASS for all link-local packets it's now limited only to packets from inactive slaves. At the same time, packets passed to bonding masters retain correct information about the originating device and PACKET_ORIGDEV can be used to determine it. This elegantly solves all issues so far: - link-local packets that were removed from bonding masters - LLDP daemons being forced to explicitly bind to slave interfaces - PACKET_ORIGDEV having no effect on bond interfaces Fixes:6a9e461f6f(bonding: pass link-local packets to bonding master also.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
