Subject: [PATCHv2 net 1/2] bonding: set random address only when slaves already exist
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 02:43:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250910024336.400253-1-liuhangbin@gmail.com> (raw)

After commit 5c3bf6cba791 ("bonding: assign random address if device
address is same as bond"), bonding will erroneously randomize the MAC
address of the first interface added to the bond if fail_over_mac =
follow.

Correct this by additionally testing for the bond being empty before
randomizing the MAC.

Fixes: 5c3bf6cba791 ("bonding: assign random address if device address is same as bond")
