Re: [PATCH 3/3] bonding: send ARP requests on interfaces other than the primary for tlb/alb

This patch sends ARP request on the correct destination output interface
rather than always sending them on the primary interface.  I've also
added some bits to make sure that the source and destination address in
the ARP header are correct since simply changing the source MAC and
output interface will not be that helpful.

Hmm, you use compare_ether_addr_64bits(), implying a fix ETH_ALEN (6 bytes) address, then
you memcpy( ..., ..., bond->dev->addr_len);
Why not use ETH_ALEN to help compiler ?
Also add a space after a comma
