Description of problem: I start two vm guests and add three network devices of virtio-net-pci type in each guest using qemu-kvm, then eth0/eth1/eth2 are created in each guest. After that I create a bond interface in each guest using eth1 and eth2, and connect the two guests using a bridge. At last I run ping6 from one guest to another and wait several seconds, then one of guests' IPv6 neighbour information often failed. # ip -6 neigh show dev bond0 2001:db8:ffff:2::1 FAILED |------------------| |------------------| | eth0 | | eth0 | | | |--eth1--|--tap_client_1--|--tap_server_1--|--eth1--| | | | client--|--bond0 | bridge | bond0--|--server | | |--eth2--|--tap_client_2--|--tap_server_2--|--eth2--| | | | | | |------------------| |------------------| Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL-6.8-20160414.0 ==> kernel-2.6.32-642.el6 How reproducible: often (50%?) Steps to Reproduce: 1. start two vm guests and add at least two network devices in each guest using qemu-kvm. (qemu-kvm command is like this) # /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name server -drive file=/home/server_el6.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk1,media=disk,cache=none,snapshot=off,format=qcow2,aio=native -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio-disk1,id=virtio-disk1,bootindex=0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,script=/etc/br_wan_ifup,downscript=/etc/br_wan_ifdn,ifname=tap_server_0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=virtio-net-pci0,mac=00:7d:73:3c:fe:25 -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,vhost=on,script=/etc/br_lan_ifup,downscript=/etc/br_lan_ifdn,ifname=tap_server_1 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=virtio-net-pci1 -netdev tap,id=hostnet2,vhost=on,script=/etc/br_lan_ifup,downscript=/etc/br_lan_ifdn,ifname=tap_server_2 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet2,id=virtio-net-pci2 -serial file:/home/server_el6.console -serial pty -vnc :13 -qmp tcp:0:11313,server,nowait -smp 2,cores=1,threads=1,sockets=2 -m 4096 2. create a bond interface in each guest using the two network devices 3. connect two vm guests using a bridge 4. run ping6 from one guest to another using bond interfaces Actual results: IPv6 neighbour information often failed. Expected results: IPv6 neighbour information does not fail. Additional info: If I using e1000 device instead of virtio-net-pci when create interface in vm guests, the IPv6 neighbour information is OK.
It always causes errors of netfilter test results, so set urgent.
Bonding in guest is rare. Defer to 6.10. Can you reproduce this on RHEL7?
(In reply to jason wang from comment #4) > Bonding in guest is rare. Defer to 6.10. > > Can you reproduce this on RHEL7? Sorry for being late. I did the same test on rhel6.8, rhel6.9 and rhel7.4, and the result shows that the issue only occurred on rhel6.8. Thanks, Shuang
