    bonding: Inactive slaves should keep inactive flag's value · 7db8df02

    bond_open is not setting the inactive flag correctly for some modes (alb and
    tlb), resulting in error behavior if the bond has been administratively set
    down and then back up. This effect should not occur when slaves are added while
    the bond is up; it's something that only happens after a down/up bounce of the
    bond.
    
    For example, in bond tlb or alb mode, domu send some ARP request which go out
    from dom0 bond's active slave, then the ARP broadcast request packets go back to
    inactive slave from switch, because the inactive slave's inactive flag is zero,
    kernel will receive the packets and pass them to bridge that cause dom0's bridge
    map domu's MAC address to port of bond, bridge should map domu's MAC to port of
    vif.
