    net: allow vlan traffic to be received under bond · 2425717b

    The following configuration used to work as I expected. At least
    we could use the fcoe interfaces to do MPIO and the bond0 iface
    to do load balancing or failover.
    
           ---eth2.228-fcoe
           |
    eth2 -----|
              |
              |---- bond0
              |
    eth3 -----|
           |
           ---eth3.228-fcoe
    
    This worked because of a change we added to allow inactive slaves
    to rx 'exact' matches. This functionality was kept intact with the
    rx_handler mechanism. However now the vlan interface attached to the
    active slave never receives traffic because the bonding rx_handler
    updates the skb->dev and goto's another_round. Previously, the
    vlan_do_receive() logic was called before the bonding rx_handler.
    
    Now by the time vlan_do_receive calls vlan_find_dev() the
    skb->dev is set to bond0 and it is clear no vlan is attached
    to this iface. The vlan lookup fails.
    
    This patch moves the VLAN check above the rx_handler. A VLAN
    tagged frame is now routed to the eth2.228-fcoe iface in the
    above schematic. Untagged frames continue to the bond0 as
    normal. This case also remains intact,
    
    eth2 --> bond0 --> vlan.228
    
    Here the skb is VLAN tagged but the vlan lookup fails on eth2
    causing the bonding rx_handler to be called. On the second
    pass the vlan lookup is on the bond0 iface and completes as
    expected.
    
    Putting a VLAN.228 on both the bond0 and eth2 device will
    result in eth2.228 receiving the skb. I don't think this is
    completely unexpected and was the result prior to the rx_handler
    result.
    
    Note, the same setup is also used for other storage traffic that
    MPIO is used with eg. iSCSI and similar setups can be contrived
    without storage protocols.
