From 5c2a9644d05e98b3c06b073351cd363ff91b22e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 22:51:47 +0200 Subject: bonding: update documentation section after dev->trans_start removal Drivers that use LLTX need to update trans_start of the netdev_queue. (Most drivers don't use LLTX; stack does this update if .ndo_start_xmit returned TX_OK). Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S.

The ARP monitor relies on the device driver itself to verify that traffic is flowing. In particular, the driver must keep up to -date the last receive time, dev->last_rx, and transmit start time, -dev->trans_start. If these are not updated by the driver, then the +date the last receive time, dev->last_rx. Drivers that use NETIF_F_LLTX +flag must also update netdev_queue->trans_start. If they do not, then the ARP monitor will immediately fail any slaves using that driver, and those slaves will stay down. If networking monitoring (tcpdump, etc) shows the ARP requests and replies on the network, then it may be that -- cgit v1.2.3
