[PATCH net-next v2 4/4] bonding/balance-alb: put all slaves into promisc

From: Jarod Wilson
Date: Fri May 21 2021 - 09:28:35 EST


Unlike most other modes with a primary interface, ALB mode bonding can
receive on all slaves. That includes traffic destined for a non-local MAC
behind a bridge on top of the bond. Such traffic gets dropped if the
interface isn't in promiscuous mode. Therefore, it would seem to make
sense to put all slaves into promisc.
