This patch adds support for slave_changelink to the bonding and uses it
to give the ability to change the queue_id of the enslaved devices via
netlink. It sets slave_maxtype and uses bond_changelink as a prototype for
bond_slave_changelink.
Example/test command after the iproute2 patch:
ip link set eth0 type bond_slave queue_id 10

note: I intend to add a new option flag to indicate it's a slave option
so a new netdev notifier can be called (NETDEV_CHANGESLAVEINFODATA).No need fo that atm.
I believe the bonding is the first user of slave_changelink so I hope
I haven't missed anything. Once this patch is accepted in some form
I'll post the iproute2 one.This patch is looking good to me. Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us>
