[Matthew O'Connor]

This is the backported patch I submitted previously.  Hopefully this
time around it won't be too messed up, I'm using Thunderbird instead of
the web interface.  I have applied it successfully and without warnings
against 3.4.46.  It builds, but is otherwise untested beyond what I did
when I originally submitted back in Feb.  This patch applies only to the
3.4 series kernel, although with minor changes it will work for 3.0,
3.2, and 3.7.  If you're interested, I can submit the other patches
shortly.  If this submission still does not conform to standards, please
let me know where I went wrong.  For what it's worth I dropped the patch
contents directly into the email, but I can attach it instead if that
would work better.


[ Upstream commit 567b871e503316b0927e54a3d7c86d50b722d955 ]

bonding: rlb mode of bond should not alter ARP originating via bridge

Do not modify or load balance ARP packets passing through balance-alb
mode (wherein the ARP did not originate locally, and arrived via a bridge).

Modifying pass-through ARP replies causes an incorrect MAC address
to be placed into the ARP packet, rendering peers unable to communicate
with the actual destination from which the ARP reply originated.

Load balancing pass-through ARP requests causes an entry to be
created for the peer in the rlb table, and bond_alb_monitor will
occasionally issue ARP updates to all peers in the table instrucing them
as to which MAC address they should communicate with; this occurs when
some event sets rx_ntt.  In the bridged case, however, the MAC address
used for the update would be the MAC of the slave, not the actual source
MAC of the originating destination.  This would render peers unable to
communicate with the destinations beyond the bridge.
