Subject: [PATCH 4.4 06/17] bonding: fix ad_actor_system option setting to default
Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2021 16:27:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211227151316.166037116@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211227151315.962187770@linuxfoundation.org>
From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <ffmancera@riseup.net>
[ Upstream commit 1c15b05baea71a5ff98235783e3e4ad227760876 ]
When 802.3ad bond mode is configured the ad_actor_system option is set to
"00:00:00:00:00:00". But when trying to set the all-zeroes MAC as actors'
system address it was failing with EINVAL.
An all-zeroes ethernet address is valid, only multicast addresses are not
valid values.
Fixes: 171a42c38c6e ("bonding: add netlink support for sys prio, actor sys mac, and port key")
