Bug Description
[Impact]
lldpctl indicates duplicate LLDP records. While the above issue is only seen on kernels newer than 4.19 (so 19.04+, which implies 18.04.3's kernel), this patch has been backported to the -stable tree.
[Test Case]
On a system with a bonded link, issue:
# lldpctl | grep PortDescr
and it will indicate duplicate records.
After applying the fix, issue the same command and duplicates will be elided.
[Regression Potential]
However, the bond-specific code in lldpctl is only needed on kernels <= 2.6.27 per upstream, which is older than any kernel in any supported Ubuntu. This fix allows future-proofs lldpctl for the eventual HWE impact.
[Original Description]
So I think this commit:
https:/
has been backported to some -stable trees.
This makes lldpd < 1.0.3 duplicate entries. I think given both -stable trees in existing Ubuntu and the HWE stack in 18.04 (even if only 18.04.3), we should backport
https:/
to the source package in 18.04+.
