The patch in question here is in net-next; the commit is: commit 567b871e503316b0927e54a3d7c86d50b722d955 Author: zheng.li <zheng.x.li@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 27 23:57:04 2012 +0000 bonding: rlb mode of bond should not alter ARP originating via bridge The additional change in the backport from Matthew O'Connor (to add ether_addr_equal_64bits) appears to still be necessary for 3.4.46. Alternatively, the patch could utilize ether_addr_equal instead, to minimize the change set. Greg, do you have a preference there? Submissions for stable from networking normally go through Davem; I can check the patch and repost it to netdev against 3.4.46 if everybody is ok with that. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, fubar@xxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
