Subject: [Bugme-new] [Bug 5519] New: Bonding Driver Marks itself as not VLAN Capable


http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5519

           Summary: Bonding Driver Marks itself as not VLAN Capable
    Kernel Version: 2.6.14
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: jgarzik@pobox.com
         Submitter: steve@wormley.com


Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:2.6.13(last tested)
Distribution: SLES 9
Hardware Environment: Dual Opteron
Software Environment: n/a
Problem Description: VLAN driver cannot configure bonding device.

After ifenslave of a VLAN capable device to a bonding device, the bonding device
still marks itself as not VLAN capable.

This appears to be a problem with the bond_dev->features flags being cleared by
the VLAN Capabilities code which bond_compute_features then wipes out by using
bond->bond_features.

I added:
        bond->bond_features = bond_dev->features;
before
        bond_compute_features(bond);

in bond_main.c bond_enslave() to fix this issue for me.

Bug in bond_compute_features(bond), I think. 
At function start the 'features' variable sets to 'bond->bond_features' value. 
[line 1617] int features = bond->bond_features; 
Then it compute something. 
But at function end this computed features are going to 'bond_dev->features' 
not to 'bond->bond_features'. 
[line 1636] bond_dev->features = features; 
 
I don't know where the right fix must be at the start or at the end of 
function.
