bonding: fix PACKET_ORIGDEV regression
[ Upstream commit 3c963a3306eada999be5ebf4f293dfa3d3945487 ]
This patch fixes a subtle PACKET_ORIGDEV regression which was a side
effect of fixes introduced by:
6a9e461f6fe4 bonding: pass link-local packets to bonding master also.
... to:
b89f04c61efe bonding: deliver link-local packets with skb->dev set to link that packets arrived on
While 6a9e461f6fe4 restored 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: 6a9e461f6fe4 (bonding: pass link-local packets to bonding master also.)
