[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-common v2 1/1] fix #7153: iproute2: consider bonds as physical bridge ports

[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-common v2 1/1] fix #7153: iproute2: consider bonds as physical bridge ports

[Stefan Hanreich]

The new check did not consider bonds, since ip_link_is_physical only
returns true for physical interfaces - but not bonds. Add a new
function to check for bonds explicitly and use it when checking for
bridge ports in activate_bridge_vlan.

This bug caused VMs with network devices with VLAN tags, on
non-vlan-aware bridges, to not get started / migrated.

[Stoiko Ivanov]

As I ran into this issue today - I took the time to check this out a bit
closer.

It fixes the issue of bond's vanishing from the bridge behind a vlan-vnet
on a  non-vlan-aware bridge.

one opinionated nit inline:

not sure if a bond is a "physical" bridge-port, and not sure if this might
cause confusion in the future - maybe non_guest_bridge_port?,
egress_bridge_port?

but as it's just a cosmetic fix (if an improvement at all)- the patch as is
is fine! consider this:

quite a few people running into this issue in the forums / support
already :/

would be nice to have this at least on test soon?
