Why are you looking at bonding to have headache in first place go use team. ;) The commit message was very clear about the intention and the purpose is to avoid list-traversal cost in fast path for modes that use xmit-hash. If you feel something is screwed-up please send a patch to fix it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
