I noticed that you took some time back in late 2009 to 'consolidate' the
split format-strings present in the bonding driver at the time and I've
decided I'm fine to leave them the way they are. The main point of my
patch was to change the output and I would like to get that included.
Here is my updated patch...
Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 v2] bonding: reduce noise during init
Many are using sysfs to configure bonding rather than module options, so
there is no need for bonding to throw this warning in normal cases.
Keep the message around when debugging is enabled as it might be useful
for someone desperate enough to enable debugging, but eliminate it
otherwise.

When a bond contains a device where one name is the subset of another
(eth1 and eth10, for example), one cannot properly set the primary
device or the currently active device.
This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya. I also verified
the problem and tested that this fix resolves it.
V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I
refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a
bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need
the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string
from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used.
I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would
modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before
forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave.
V3: Actually sending the proper patch....

After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
their skbs. There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
course, and need to be fixed up. This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags

There is no software fallback implemented for SCTP or FCoE checksumming,
and so it should not be passed on by software devices like bridge or bonding.
For VLAN devices, this is different. First, the driver for underlying device
should be prepared to get offloaded packets even when the feature is disabled
(especially if it advertises it in vlan_features). Second, devices under
VLANs do not get replaced without tearing down the VLAN first.
This fixes a mess I accidentally introduced while converting bonding to
ndo_fix_features.
NETIF_F_SOFT_FEATURES are removed from BOND_VLAN_FEATURES because they
are unused as of commit 712ae51afd.

This adds support for a configuring the minimum number of links that
must be active before asserting carrier. It is similar to the Cisco
EtherChannel min-links feature. This allows setting the minimum number
of member ports that must be up (link-up state) before marking the
bond device as up (carrier on). This is useful for situations where
higher level services such as clustering want to ensure a minimum
number of low bandwidth links are active before switchover.

1) the setting of NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED in bond_del_vlan() is
useless since commit b2a103e6 because bond_fix_features() now
sets NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED whenever the last slave is being
removed.

These is also a bug, that if you modify lacp_rate via sysfs,
and add new slaves in bonding, new slaves won't use the latest lacp_rate,
since ad_bond_info->lacp_fast is initialized only once,
in bond_3ad_initialize().
Since both struct bond_params and ad_bond_info have lacp_fast,
they are duplicate and need extra synchronization.
bond_3ad_bind_slave() can use bond_params->lacp_fast to initialize port.
So we can just remove lacp_fast from struct ad_bond_info.

The bonding driver is multiqueue enabled, in which each queue represents a slave
to enable optional steering of output frames to given slaves against the default
output policy. However, it needs to reset the skb->queue_mapping prior to
queuing to the physical device or the physical slave (if it is multiqueue) could
wind up transmitting on an unintended tx queue
Change Notes:
v2) Based on first pass review, updated the patch to restore the origional queue
mapping that was found in bond_select_queue, rather than simply resetting to
zero. This preserves the value of queue_mapping when it was set on receive in
the forwarding case which is desireable.
v3) Fixed spelling an casting error in skb->cb
v4) fixed to store raw queue_mapping to avoid double decrement
v5) Eric D requested that ->cb access be wrapped in a macro.

It occurs because we are able to change the slave configuarion of a bond while
the bond interface is down. The bonding driver initializes some data structures
only after its ndo_open routine is called. Among them is the initalization of
the alb tx and rx hash locks. So if we add or remove a slave without first
opening the bond master device, we run the risk of trying to lock/unlock a
spinlock that has garbage for data in it, which results in our above softlock.
Note that sometimes this works, because in many cases an unlocked spinlock has
the raw_lock parameter initialized to zero (meaning that the kzalloc of the
net_device private data is equivalent to calling spin_lock_init), but thats not
true in all cases, and we aren't guaranteed that condition, so we need to pass
the relevant spinlocks through the spin_lock_init function.
Fix it by moving the spin_lock_init calls for the tx and rx hashtable locks to
the ndo_init path, so they are ready for use by the bond_store_slaves path.
Change notes:
v2) Based on conversation with Jay and Nicolas it seems that the ability to
enslave devices while the bond master is down should be safe to do. As such
this is an outlier bug, and so instead we'll just initalize the errant spinlocks
in the init path rather than the open path, solving the problem. We'll also
remove the warnings about the bond being down during enslave operations, since
it should be safe
v3) Fix spelling error

V3: rename NETDEV_ENSLAVE to NETDEV_JOIN
Currently we do nothing when we enslave a net device which is running netconsole.
Neil pointed out that we may get weird results in such case, so let's disable
netpoll on the device being enslaved. I think it is too harsh to prevent
the device being ensalved if it is running netconsole.
By the way, this patch also removes the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN from netconsole
netdev notifier, because netpoll will check if the device is running or not
and we don't handle NETDEV_PRE_UP neither.
This patch is based on net-next-2.6.

For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and
sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications
(gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover.
Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new
active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer
notification should be deferred until it does.
Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer
notifications on bonding failover.
Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested. Since
it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make
num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter. Bump
the bonding version number and update its documentation.

device goes thru bond_handle_frame. So there's no need to go back into

original ptype handlers into "bonding receive probes". These functions
are called from bond_handle_frame and they are registered per-mode.
Note that vlan packets are also handled because they are always untagged
thanks to vlan_untag()

this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is
configurable per device using ethtool.
Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does
not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device
indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by
default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum
is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done
anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case
the no cache copy is probably not beneficial.
This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with
1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86.
No-cache copy disabled:
672703 tps, 97.13% utilization
50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41
No-cache copy enabled:
702113 tps, 96.16% utilization,
50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955
Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the
effects more dramatically:
No-cache copy disabled:
79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization
50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76
No-cache copy enabled:
83856 tps, 34.81% utilization
50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88
Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile).
This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is
consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide
the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload
stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

This prevents possible race between bond_enslave and bond_handle_frame
as reported by Nicolas by moving rx_handler register/unregister.
slave->bond is added to hold pointer to master bonding sructure. That
way dev->master is no longer used in bond_handler_frame.
Also, this removes "BUG: scheduling while atomic" message
