Netdev drivers are expected to call dev_{uc,mc}_sync() in their
ndo_set_rx_mode method and dev_{uc,mc}_unsync() in their ndo_stop method.
This is mentioned in the kerneldoc for those dev_* functions.
The bonding driver calls dev_{uc,mc}_unsync() during ndo_uninit instead of
ndo_stop. This is ineffective because address lists (dev->{uc,mc}) have
already been emptied in unregister_netdevice_many() before ndo_uninit is
called. This mistake can result in addresses being leftover on former bond
slaves after a bond has been deleted; see test_LAG_cleanup() in the last
patch in this series.
Add unsync calls, via bond_hw_addr_flush(), at their expected location,
bond_close().
Add dev_mc_add() call to bond_open() to match the above change.
v3:
* When adding or deleting a slave, only sync/unsync, add/del addresses if
the bond is up. In other cases, it is taken care of at the right time by
ndo_open/ndo_set_rx_mode/ndo_stop.

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.
