net/bonding: Delay sending of gratuitous ARP to avoid failure
Delay sending a gratuitous_arp when LINK_STATE_LINKWATCH_PENDING bit in dev->state field is on. This improves the chances for the arp packet to be transmitted. Signed-off-by: Moni Shoua <monis at voltaire.com> Acked-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
