I've been further educated on a use case, where a bridge sits on top of a bond, with multiple vnetX interfaces attached to virtual machines, also acting as ports of the bridge. Each leg of the bond goes to a different switch, but there is NO mlag/vpc in play, the bonding driver has to handle traffic that loops back appropriately to avoid breaking transmission. Rather than adding some sort of mac filtering to balance-xor mode, we switched to using balance-alb, which already does some of this, and with the tweaks provided in this series, empirically seems to behave as desired in actual operation.
v2 attempts to support srcmac-only hashing via a modparam instead of by adding yet another hashing mode, as well as cleaning up and clarifying commit messages.
Jarod Wilson (4): bonding: add pure source-mac-based tx hashing option bonding/balance-lb: don't rewrite bridged non-local MACs bonding/balance-alb: don't tx balance multicast traffic either bonding/balance-alb: put all slaves into promisc
