My mistake, you've sent it to the right place. About the nature of the patch: - Enabling bridgeport on adaptors on which bridgeport is already used by somebody else will break somebody else's operation. - Therefore, system administrator must only enable bridgeport on adaptors on which nobody else tries to use it (without coordinating with them). - Making bridge_reflect_promisc enabled by default makes it impossible. - Therefore, bridge_reflect_promisc must not be enabled by default. (Those who enable bridge_reflect_promisc blindly on all adaptors will break their users' setup, and will have to deal with the consequences.)
