The commit 14af9963ba1e ("bonding: Support macvlans on top of tlb/rlb mode
bonds") aims to enable the use of macvlans on top of rlb bond mode. However,
the current rlb bond mode only handles ARP packets to update remote neighbor
entries. This causes an issue when a macvlan is on top of the bond, and
remote devices send packets to the macvlan using the bond's MAC address
as the destination. After delivering the packets to the macvlan, the macvlan
will rejects them as the MAC address is incorrect. Consequently, this commit
makes macvlan over bond non-functional.
To address this problem, one potential solution is to check for the presence
of a macvlan port on the bond device using netif_is_macvlan_port(bond->dev)
and return NULL in the rlb_arp_xmit() function. However, this approach
doesn't fully resolve the situation when a VLAN exists between the bond and
macvlan.
So let's just do a partial revert for commit 14af9963ba1e in rlb_arp_xmit().
As the comment said, Don't modify or load balance ARPs that do not originate
locally.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
