The packets per slave parameter used by round robin mode does not have a printk debug
message in its set function in bond_options.c. Adding such a function would aid debugging
of round-robin mode and allow the user to more easily verify that the parameter has been
set correctly. I should add that I'm motivated by my own experience here - it's not
obvious from output of tools such as wireshark and ifstat that the parameter is working
correctly, and with the differences in bonding configuration across different distributions,
it would have been comforting to see this output.
