This problem might have > been fixed already. Can you test a more recent kernel? I can add some more info since I originally looked at the problem. This happens on 2.6.38 as well, and on this 2.6.32 kernel with a backported 3.7.0 bonding driver (with the primary_reselect option). Harsha has a prototype patch that's being tested, but wanted to log the bug to see if one of the bonding maintainers had a better solution. I'll let him respond as I'm now out of the loop...
