bonding: clean muticast addresses when device changes type
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Bonding device forbids slave device of different types under the same
master.

However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its
lifetime.  This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND
or the other way arround.  The change of type requires device level
multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses
depend on the device type.

The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes
type and dev_open() just after that.

In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under
bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER
by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved.

This is how /proc/net/dev_mcast looks like without the patch

5    bond0           1     0     00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05
5    bond0           1     0     01005e000116
5    bond0           1     0     01005e7ffffd
5    bond0           1     0     01005e000001
5    bond0           1     0     333300000001
6    ib0             1     0     00ffffffff12601bffff000000000001ff96ca05
6    ib0             1     0     333300000001
6    ib0             1     0     01005e000001
6    ib0             1     0     01005e7ffffd
6    ib0             1     0     01005e000116
6    ib0             1     0     00ffffffff12401bffff00000000000000000001
6    ib0             1     0     00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001

and this is how it looks like after the patch.
