====================
bonding: add more netlink attributes
v2:
Addressed v1 review comments. In particular, Jay's concern about
current sysfs ordering limitations carrying over to iproute. Netlink
attributes are processed in a priority order in
bond_netlink.c:bond_changelink(). Lower priority attributes can't undo
higher priority attributes when attempting to set both with iproute
command. For example, this command will fail:
ip link add bond1 type bond mode active-backup miimon 10 arp_interval 10
Because we're trying to create a new bond to use incompatible miimon
and ARP interval attributes. However, if attributes are applied
one-at-a-time, previously applied attributes can be overridden:
ip link add bond1 type bond mode active-backup miimon 10
ip link set dev bond1 type bond arp_interval 10
These two commands succeed. The bond is first created to use miimon.
Next, the bond is converted to use ARP interval, which undoes miimon.
v1:
Following Jiri Pirko's lead, add more bonding netlink attributes. Sending
matching iproute2 patch separately. sysfs access to attributes is
retained.
