Patch to fix sch_teql
The sch_teql module, which can be used to load balance over a set of underlying
interfaces, stopped working after 2.6.30 and has been broken in all kernels
since then.
The problem is that the transmit routine relies on being able to access the
destination address in the skb in order to do ARP resolution once it has
decided which underlying interface it is going to transmit through.
In 2.6.31 the IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag was introduced, and set by default for
all interfaces, which causes the destination address to be release before the
transmit routine for the interface is called.
The solution (implemented in the attached patch) is to clear that flag for teql
interfaces.
