Re: [PATCH] bonding: reset queue mapping prior to transmission to physical device (v5)

From: Jay Vosburgh <hidden>

Neil Horman [off-list ref] wrote:
The bonding driver is multiqueue enabled, in which each queue represents a slave
to enable optional steering of output frames to given slaves against the default
output policy.  However, it needs to reset the skb->queue_mapping prior to
queuing to the physical device or the physical slave (if it is multiqueue) could
wind up transmitting on an unintended tx queue

Change Notes:
v2) Based on first pass review, updated the patch to restore the origional queue
mapping that was found in bond_select_queue, rather than simply resetting to
zero.  This preserves the value of queue_mapping when it was set on receive in
the forwarding case which is desireable.

v3) Fixed spelling an casting error in skb->cb

v4) fixed to store raw queue_mapping to avoid double decrement

v5) Eric D requested that ->cb access be wrapped in a macro.
	Shouldn't the change log go below the "---" so it doesn't end up
in the git commit log?

	In any event, I looked for ways into bond_dev_queue_xmit without
first passing through bond_select_queue (lest stale cb[] data intrude),
and I don't see any, so I think this is ok.
