RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

patch to make ethtool run before adding interface to bond
Description of problem:
I'm trying to set up bonding in mode 4 with one e1000e card and one bnx2 card. The bnx2 card starts up default without RX flow control, and the e1000e card with rx flow control. This makes the two cards get different aggregator id in the bond, and no balancing happens.
It is not possible to set pause options from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 etc.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.0
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to set lacp bonding with one e1000e and one bnx2-interface.
Actual results:
# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.5.0 (November 4, 2008)
Bonding Mode: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation
Transmit Hash Policy: layer2 (0)
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 100
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0
802.3ad info
LACP rate: slow
Aggregator selection policy (ad_select): stable
Active Aggregator Info:
Aggregator ID: 1
Number of ports: 1

Expected results:

Additional info:
Attached is a patch to make ethtool run before the interface is added to the bond. This patch also makes it possible to add pause options form network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.
Example:
DEVICE=eth3
HWADDR=d8:d3:.......
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
SLAVE=yes
MASTER=bond0
ETHTOOL_OPTS="autneg on -A rx on tx off"
The change is backwards compatible and should not break anything. Please include it in the next release.
Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
