Steinar, can you check whether this fixes the bridge issues you reported on
bugzilla #99081? Not quite sure whether it is the same as yours as you
do not seem to have any such call traces.

It doesn't immediately sound like the same problem; why would promisc change
anything if the problem is the checksumming?

The mdb you provided in the bugzilla ticket misses reports, so it
was unable to parse reports. Which could point to a checksumming
problem.

Enabling promisc probably did not fix the parsing for you, but instead
promisc forces to forward packets upstream on your interface independent
of the mdb. I would assume that even with promisc, your output
from "bridge mdb show" looks rather empty. Can you check?

I don't have any reboots scheduled for this machine right now, but I'll see
what I can do wrt. testing.

Thanks :).
