            Bug ID: 99191
           Summary: ARP monitoring with bonding module uses interface
                    alias for ARP request
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: All
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: shemminger@linux-foundation.org
          Reporter: lessani@gmail.com
        Regression: No

When using arp_ip_target combined with arp_validate to verify the connectivity
status of a bond, the wrong IP address is used as the source of the request if
multiple IP aliases are assigned to the bond0.

Example 1.

bond0   - 10.0.0.5/24 (WAN)
bond0:1 - 10.0.1.5/24 (LAN)
arp_validate - all
arp_ip_target - 10.0.0.1

Expected result: ARP, Request who-has 10.0.0.1 tell 10.0.0.5

Actual result:   ARP, Request who-has 10.0.0.1 tell 10.0.1.5

Issue:           The Layer 3 switch responsible for replying to the ARP request
does not have the local interface of 10.0.1.5 configured, so the ARP request
goes unanswered.

-

My expectation is that the bonding driver would use the primary IP on the bond0
interface, not a secondary IP. The solution being to be able to specify which
IP the ARP should originate from in a scenario where bondX has multiple IPs
assigned.

Mangling the packet in/out using arptables does not achieve the desired effect.
