This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bonding: fix xfrm state handling when clearing active slave to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bonding-fix-xfrm-state-handling-when-clearing-active.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 45a8d6fede4c2e585299af019ade1a8fc080d4d9 Author: Nikolay Aleksandrov <razor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 16 14:48:13 2024 +0300 bonding: fix xfrm state handling when clearing active slave [ Upstream commit c4c5c5d2ef40a9f67a9241dc5422eac9ffe19547 ] If the active slave is cleared manually the xfrm state is not flushed. This leads to xfrm add/del imbalance and adding the same state multiple times. For example when the device cannot handle anymore states we get: [ 1169.884811] bond0: (slave eni0np1): bond_ipsec_add_sa_all: failed to add SA because it's filled with the same state after multiple active slave clearings. This change also has a few nice side effects: user-space gets a notification for the change, the old device gets its mac address and promisc/mcast adjusted properly.
