---------------
systemd (229-4ubuntu21) xenial; urgency=medium

  * networkd: do not uncoditionally apply NOARP.
  * networkd: fix size of MTUBytes so that it does not overwrites ARP.
  * Fixes regression-updates LP: #1727301

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Setting [Link] MTUBytes= in .network file has a side-effect of
  overflowing and setting NOARP flag. This is not intended behaviour /
  regression.

   * Trying to fix above by setting ARP=on fails to work as tristate is
  incorrectly acted upon by unconditionally adding NOARP flag

   * This is a regression in -updates.

  [Affected Users]

   * Those who use networkd
   
   * Do not use netplan (as that sets mtubytes in the .link files, not in the .network)

   * Specify MTUBytes in .network file (not in the .link file)

  [Test Case]

   * Configure an ethernet device with a .network file alone
   * e.g. Match by mac address and perform DHCP
   * Add [Link] section to the .network file which changes MTUBytes
   * Device brought up using this configuration should not have NOAPR flag in the output of iproute link output

   * Further add ARP=off to that .network file, the link should have NOARP flag
   * Further add ARP=on to that .network file, the link should not have NOARP flag

  A test script is attached, that given an interface can abuse it to
  validate all of the above.

  [Regression Potential]

   * These are upstream fixes for ARP= key that are part of zesty and up

   * Original bug report

  this breaks existing configurations with bonding on upgrading from
  229-4ubuntu19 to 229-4ubuntu20 on xenial

  as bond interfaces are now by default configured without ARP. Hence
  you suddenly lose network connectivity on upgrade. Very bad for a SRU.

  Plus adding "ARP=yes" to the Link section of a .network file does not
  work.

  Before this update, bond interfaces (specifically 802.3ad) were
  defaulting to ARP enabled. After the upgrade, they are created with
  NOARP set on the link.

  pre-upgrade:

  eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP>
  eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP>
  bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>

  post-upgrade:
  eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP>
  eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP>
  bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>
