Jay Vosburgh/Olaf Kirch's "don't drop non-VLAN traffic" patch
Did this make it into a more recent upstream kernel? This doesn't seem to be important enough to fix just on its own, so mark it DEFER. Any reason why this fix hasn't made it into the kernel yet? Especially Given the length of time this BUG has been open and triviality of the patch? I personally found this problem wasted a large amount of my time under RedHat Enterprise 4 as it broke a machine that was working with VLAN's under a bonding interface under Enterprise 3 and there was no obvious reason as no errors were logged and the bonded interface just ate non VLAN packets. Shouldn't this BUG be logged against RedHat Enterprise 4 as maybe it would get a little more priority? Any reason why this fix hasn't made it into the kernel yet?

Shouldn't this BUG be logged against RedHat Enterprise 4 as maybe it would get a little more priority? Fedora Legacy is just doing security updates. There may be a slightly higher chance of the bug fix going in (but don't count on it) if the patch is includes in RHEL patches. The best way to see this fixed from Red Hat is to have a paying RHEL4 customer call support and get an issue started with them. Legacy may fix this issue, but it would wait until there is a security flaw in the kernel that needs to be fixed. John W. Linville of Red Hat has proposed a patch for this issue for RHEL 4's kernel as attachment #121717 [details] in Bug 174671 comment #2. When we next go in to build a FC2 kernel for a security problem, this is a patch we could put in also. This problem may be present in FC1's and FC3's kernel as well. (Incidentally, John Linville's patch (attachment #121717 [details]) looks like exactly the same patch that Bryan Wann submitted here (attachment 116185 [details]).) Fedora Core 2 is now completely unmaintained. These bugs can't be fixed in that version. If the issue still persists in current Fedora Core, please reopen. Thank you, and sorry about this. |
