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.

Description RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 08:50:57 UTC 
This bug has been copied from bug #772317 and has been proposed
to be backported to 6.2 z-stream (EUS).
Comment 6 Zhenjie Chen 2012-06-12 10:43:35 UTC 
I think this patch doesn't fix the bug and introduces a regression bug.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=794647

Comment 7 Neil Horman 2012-06-12 11:00:11 UTC 
you also need to pull back commit 3ef3cd0b54f305977f07b3ee8067f72ad96d2acd
from the 6.3 tree to avoid this

verified on kernel 2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64

Step A:
[root@hp-nehalem-02 ~]#  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[root@hp-nehalem-02 ~]#  modprobe bonding mode=1 miimon=100
normal, no Call Trace

Step B:
[root@hp-nehalem-02 ~]#  modprobe bonding mode=1 miimon=100
[root@hp-nehalem-02 ~]# ifconfig bond0 up
[root@hp-nehalem-02 ~]# ifenslave bond0 eth0
[root@hp-nehalem-02 ~]# brctl addbr br0
[root@hp-nehalem-02 ~]# brctl addif br0 bond0
normal, no Call Trace

[root@hp-nehalem-02 ~]# ethtool -k bond0 |grep large
large-receive-offload: off
right, bond0's lro auto be set  off
