[PATCH net-next 0/4] bonding: final set of netlink patches

[Scott Feldman]

The following series implements the last set of bonding netlink attributes
for 802.3ad mode:

	lacp_rate
	ad_select
	ad_info, nest of:
		ad_aggregator
		ad_num_ports
		ad_actor_key
		ad_partner_key
		ad_partner_mac

The last patch adds an additional netlink attribute, active_slaves, which
is a nested list of ifindices for current active slaves.  We're using this
list to enable/disable hashing of ports in a hardware LAG implementation.
In the same way bonding driver includes/excludes ports for 802.3ad egress
hashing, hardware ports are included/excluded from egress hashing by
hardware based on port active status.  Yes, data path offloaded to
hardware, control path remains in kernel via bonding driver.

Scott Feldman (4):
      bonding: add lacp_rate attribute netlink support
      bonding: add ad_select attribute netlink support
      bonding: add ad_info attribute netlink support
      bonding: add active_slaves attribute
