| Doc Text: |
The bonding method for adding VLAN Identifiers (VIDs) did not always add the VID to a slave VLAN group. When the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER flag was not set on a slave, the bonding module could not add new VIDs to it. This could cause networking problems and the system to be unreachable even if NIC messages did not indicate any problems. This update changes the bond VID add path to always add a new VID to the slaves (if the VID does not exist). This ensures that networking problems no longer occur in this scenario.
