From e4c2365d41bdd867c069e4f6e19206eaa91c0633 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolay Aleksandrov Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 17:45:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: bridge: when suppression is enabled exclude RARP packets [ Upstream commit 0353b4a96b7a9f60fe20d1b3ebd4931a4085f91c ] Recently we had an interop issue where RARP packets got suppressed with bridge neigh suppression enabled, but the check in the code was meant to suppress GARP. Exclude RARP packets from it which would allow some VMWare setups to work, to quote the report: "Those RARP packets usually get generated by vMware to notify physical switches when vMotion occurs. vMware may use random sip/tip or just use sip=tip=0. So the RARP packet sometimes get properly flooded by the vtep and other times get dropped by the logic" Reported-by: Amer Abdalamer Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S.
