            Bug ID: 194749
           Summary: kernel bonding does not work in a network nameservice
                    in versions above 3.10.0-229.20.1
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: > 3.10.0-229.20.1
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocking
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: stephen@networkplumber.org
          Reporter: dan@polter.net
        Regression: No

bond interface is being used in active/standby mode with two physical NICs
inside a network nameservice to provide switchpath redundancy.

netns is instantiated post-boot with the following:

ip netns add vntp
ip link set p4p1 netns vntp
ip link set p4p2 netns vntp
ip link set bond0 netns vntp
ip netns exec vntp ip link set lo up
ip netns exec vntp ip link set p4p1 up
ip netns exec vntp ip link set p4p2 up
ip netns exec vntp ip link set bond0 up
ip netns exec vntp ifenslave bond0 p4p1 p4p2
This is due to the following commit:

commit f9399814927ad9bb995a6e109c2a5f9d8a848209

    bonding: Don't allow bond devices to change network namespaces.

    Like bridge, bonding as netdevice doesn't cross netns boundaries.

    Bonding ports and bonding itself live in same netns.

NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL was introduced for loopback device which
is created for each netns, it is not clear why we need to add it to bond
and bridge...
