SubjectDoes bonding interfere with Raw packet binding ?
Date

Hello,

The PF_PACKET protocol family was defined to allow root applications to bind
themselves with network devices without going through all the network stack.

What happens if an application binds itself to a device that is a slave in a
bonding team?

The skb_bond() function in dev.c changes the skb->dev from the slave device
to a master device. It seems that this will block the application from
receiving its packets.

Dying to get some input on this Q.

Thanks,

Tsippy
