From 6a9e461f6fe4434e6172304b69774daff9a3ac4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahesh Bandewar Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 14:39:42 -0700 Subject: bonding: pass link-local packets to bonding master also. Commit b89f04c61efe ("bonding: deliver link-local packets with skb->dev set to link that packets arrived on") changed the behavior of how link-local-multicast packets are processed. The change in the behavior broke some legacy use cases where these packets are expected to arrive on bonding master device also. This patch passes the packet to the stack with the link it arrived on as well as passes to the bonding-master device to preserve the legacy use case.
