[PATCH net-next v8 2/7] bonding: Adding extra_len field to struct bond_opt_value.

From: David Wilder <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-28 22:19:32
Subsystem: bonding driver, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Jay Vosburgh, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Used to record the size of the extra array.

__bond_opt_init() is updated to set extra_len.
BOND_OPT_EXTRA_MAXLEN is increased from 16 to 64.

This is needed for the extended  arp_ip_target option.
The ip command will now pass a variable length value when
setting arp_ip_target.
