Boot-test *with the same parameters as before* gave me the following
trace[1], which is inevitable in case of mode 1 bonding. So that you've
either ignored this warning or didn't actually test mode 1, even though
your last patchset was reverted because of a regression in the same mode.
How was this tested?
And btw - net-next is closed.
