====================
Make DSA work with bonding's ARP monitor
Since commit 2b86cb8299 ("net: dsa: declare lockless TX feature for
slave ports") in v5.7, DSA breaks the ARP monitoring logic from the
bonding driver, fact which was pointed out by Brian Hutchinson who uses
a linux-5.10.y stable kernel.
Initially I got lured by other similar hacks introduced for other
NETIF_F_LLTX drivers, which, inspired by the bonding documentation,
update the trans_start of their TX queues by hand.
However Jakub pointed out that this simply isn't a proper solution, and
after coming to think more about it, I agree, and it doesn't work
properly with DSA nor is it maintainable for the future changes I plan
for it (multiple DSA masters in a LAG).
I've tested these changes using a DSA-based setup and a veth-based
setup, using the active-backup mode and ARP monitoring, with and without
arp_validate.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
