You'll find that it's gone in 2.6.24-rc3. In any case, the code
was racy but it's too unlikely (and the fix too intrusive) to be
worth fixing in 2.6.23 at this stage.

There seems to be rough consensus that the kernel currently has too many

This seems to have been forgotten earlier. Right now it was possible

Hi all,
I sent this mail yesterday, but it did not be delivered. So I resend it.
I am sorry if you receive duplicate mails.

I posted this 2 weeks ago on the bonding-devel list, but didn't

Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
