[PATCH] bonding: rlb mode of bond should not alter ARP replies originating via bridge

From: Zheng Li
Date: Mon Nov 12 2012 - 04:52:19 EST


ARP traffic passing through a bridge and out via the bond (when the bond is a
port of the bridge) should not have its source MAC address adjusted by the
receive load balance code in rlb_arp_xmit.
