So here you are checking for any suitable slave from slave number
slave_agg_no+1 and till the last slave. Ok.

Some nitpicks, though not critical - slave_agg_no will always get
decremented, even if it's negative. It's ok though harder to
read/understand. The triple cascaded ifs can be omited, from (used the same
code):

if (agg && (agg->aggregator_identifier == agg_id)) {
	if (--slave_agg_no < 0) {
		if (SLAVE_IS_OK(slave)) {
			do_something();
			goto out;
		}
	}
}

to (again, used the same code):

if (!agg || agg->aggregator_identifier != agg_id)
	continue;

if (--slave_agg_no >= 0)
	continue;

if (SLAVE_IS_OK(slave)) {
	do_something();
	goto out;
}


Which is a lot easier to read/understand. Though, again, there are small
nitpicks and I'm ok with your approach.

Ok, so if the first approach fails - you loop through *all* the slaves
again, checking the slaves already checked by the first loop - i.e. the
slaves from slave number slave_agg_no and till the last slave.

It's suboptimal, but still should work. You can optimize this by storing a
'first ok slave' in the first loop, and if the first loop fails to find any
slave *after* slave_agg_no, you can use that first_ok_slave (if found) to
send. This way you'll drop the second loop entirely. It's the way that I've
done in my patch - pls consult my function :) :

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/277701/

bond_for_each_slave(bond, slave, iter) {
         agg = SLAVE_AD_INFO(slave).port.aggregator;
         if (!agg || agg->aggregator_identifier != agg_id)
                 continue;

         if (slave_agg_no >= 0) {
                 if (!first_ok_slave && SLAVE_IS_OK(slave))
                         first_ok_slave = slave;
                 slave_agg_no--;
                 continue;
         }

         if (SLAVE_IS_OK(slave)) {
                 res = bond_dev_queue_xmit(bond, skb, slave->dev);
                 goto out;
         }
}

...

if (first_ok_slave)
	res = bond_dev_queue_xmit(bond, skb, first_ok_slave->dev);
