I compiled 10.6 kernel 4.19.152 with your MR patch and tested on our setup. I can confirm no more regression issue is found on both network setup we use (bonding and non-bonding). As for the NET_SWITCHDEV we have this enabled in our production machine from kernel compiled in 10.3 with this patch. And its been running for 2 months or so without any issue. Please consider merging this patch and release it as part of Debian 10.7 release. Cheers, Vasudev
