I think I didn't get an answer. The commit introducing the regression
says:
Bonding driver changes the skb->dev to the bonding-master before
passing the packet to stack for further processing. This, however
does not make sense for the link-local packets and it loses "the
link info" once its skb->dev is changed to bonding-master. This
patch changes this behavior for link-local packets by not changing
the skb->dev to the bonding-master and maintaining it as it is,
i.e. the link on which the packet arrived.
Li, do you have a test case for this? Which family are you using? When
using AF_PACKET, the information was retrievable by enabling the
PACKET_ORIGDEV option.
