Please advise if there is any update here, and if not how we can go about
getting an update to the driver to rectify the issue.

	As it happens, I've been looking at this today, and have a
couple of questions about your configuration:

	- Is there an IP address on the same subnet as the arp_ip_target
configured directly on the bond, or on a VLAN logically above the bond?

	- Is the "arp_ip_target" address reachable via an interface
other than the bond (or VLAN above it)?  This can be checked via "ip
route get [arp_ip_target]", i.e., if the target address for bond0 is
1.2.3.4, the command "ip route get 1.2.3.4" will return something like

1.2.3.4 dev bond0 src [...]

	If an interface other than bond0 (or a VLAN above it) is listed,
then there's a path to the arp_ip_target that doesn't go through the
bond.

	The ARP monitor logic can only handle a limited set of
configurations, so if your configuration is outside of that it can
misbehave in some ways.
