Public bug reported: Bonding module v3.7.0 (kernel 2.6.38.x) has been modified to send IGMP joins not only in round-robin mode, as was in 2.6.36, see: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c?v=2.6.36#L1183
but also in primary-backup. http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c?v=2.6.38#L1193 Unfortunately, check for resend_igmp was missed until 3.0: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c?v=3.0#L1189 Current (2.6.38.7) code leads to continuous igmp flood, regardless of resend_igmp value (as documentation says: " A value of 0 prevents the IGMP membership report from being issued in response to the failover event.") version_signature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.46-server 2.6.38.7 ** Affects: linux-lts-backport-natty (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821873 Title: bonding module ignores resend_igmp parameter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-backport-natty/+bug/821873/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
