We build vlan on top of bonding interface, which vlan offload is off, bond mode is 802.3ad (LACP) and xmit_hash_policy is BOND_XMIT_POLICY_ENCAP34. Because vlan tx offload is off, vlan tci is cleared and skb push the vlan header in validate_xmit_vlan() while sending from vlan devices. Then in bond_xmit_hash, __skb_flow_dissect() fails to get information from protocol headers encapsulated within vlan, because 'nhoff' is points to IP header, so bond hashing is based on layer 2 info, which fails to distribute packets across slaves. This patch always enable bonding's vlan tx offload, pass the vlan packets to the slave devices with vlan tci, let them to handle vlan implementation.

I can see that bonding driver uses dev_queue_xmit() to pass packets to slave links, but I can't see where in the path it does software fallback for devices without HW VLAN tagging. Generally drivers that don't ever do VLAN offload also ignore vlan_tci presence. Am I missing something here? Best Regards, Michał Mirosław
