Similar with a951bc1e6ba5 ("bonding: correct the MAC address for "follow" fail_over_mac policy"). The fail_over_mac follow mode requires the formerly active slave to swap MAC addresses with the newly active slave during failover. However, the slave's MAC address can be same under certain conditions: 1) ip link set eth0 master bond0 bond0 adopts eth0's MAC address (MAC0). 1) ip link set eth1 master bond0 eth1 is added as a backup with its own MAC (MAC1). 3) ip link set eth0 nomaster eth0 is released and restores its MAC (MAC0). eth1 becomes the active slave, and bond0 assigns MAC0 to eth1. 4) ip link set eth0 master bond0 eth0 is re-added to bond0, but both eth0 and eth1 now have MAC0, breaking the follow policy. To resolve this issue, we need to swap the new active slave’s permanent MAC address with the old one. The new active slave then uses the old dev_addr, ensuring that it matches the bond address. After the fix: 5) ip link set bond0 type bond active_slave eth0 dev_addr is the same, swap old active eth1's MAC (MAC0) with eth0. Swap new active eth0's permanent MAC (MAC0) to eth1. MAC addresses remain unchanged. 6) ip link set bond0 type bond active_slave eth1 dev_addr is the same, swap the old active eth0's MAC (MAC0) with eth1. Swap new active eth1's permanent MAC (MAC1) to eth0. The MAC addresses are now correctly differentiated.
