Subject: [PATCH, RFC] bonding: prevent outgoing packets on inactive slaves
Applications exist that broadcast/multicast packets on all
devices in the system (e.g. avahi-mdns).
When a device is an inactive slave of a bond in active-backup
mode, its MAC address may be set identical to other divecies in
the bond. The broadcast/multicast packets may then confuse
switches to direct packets to the inactive slave, rather than the
active one.
This patch makes sure the TX queues on inactive slaves are
deactivated.
