Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 0/6] bonding: Patchset for rcu use in bonding

Hi:

The Patch Set convert the xmit of 3ad and alb mode to use rcu lock.
restructure and add more rcu list function.
add rtnl lock to protect bonding_store_xmit_hash().
remove read lock in bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv().

I test the patch well and no problems found till now.

v1: add 1 patch named remove the no effect lock for bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv().
    get the advice from Nikolay Aleksandrov, and modify some mistake in the code.

v2: accept the Nikolay Aleksandrov's advise, modify the patch 05/06.
    the new bond_for_each_slave_from will not use bond->slave_cnt and int cnt any more,
    it test well.
    move the rcu_dereference call of curr_active_slave after the lock avoid 
    a race condition with the slave removal. 

v3: according to the advise of Veaceslav Falico and David S. Miller, modify the patch 01/06 and patch 05/06.
    add rcu protect for read bond->slave_list.
    simplify the bond_for_each_slave_from() and  bond_for_each_slave_from_rcu()

v4: thanks for Veaceslav Falico's patient guidance, fix the problem of patch 01/06 and
patch 05/06.
    restructure the bond_first_slave_rcu().
    restructure the bond_for_each_slave() and bond_for_each_slave_rcu().
