Subject: [PATCHv2 net-next] bonding: report duplicate MAC address in all situations
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 03:39:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250225033914.18617-1-liuhangbin@gmail.com> (raw)

Normally, a bond uses the MAC address of the first added slave as the bond’s
MAC address. And the bond will set active slave’s MAC address to bond’s
address if fail_over_mac is set to none (0) or follow (2).

When the first slave is removed, the bond will still use the removed slave’s
MAC address, which can lead to a duplicate MAC address and potentially cause
issues with the switch. To avoid confusion, let's warn the user in all
situations, including when fail_over_mac is set to 2 or not in active-backup
mode.
