Subject: Re: [PATCH] bonding: check for assigned mac before adopting the slaves mac address


From: David Strand <dpstrand@...il.com>

Restore the check for an unassigned mac address before adopting the
first slaves as it's own. The change in behavior was introduced by:

commit c20811a79e671a6a1fe86a8c1afe04aca8a7f085
Author: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@...hat.com>
