By the nature of static globals, the array used to be initialized to all 0. At present, it's full of random data, which that gets interpreted as arp_target values, when none have actually been specified.

The fix: just zero out arp_target at init time. While we're in here, init arp_all_targets_value in the right place.

No, it's not part of the fix, it just irked me. The extra line is completely unnecessary, less lines is good. Possibly shouldn't have folded it into this fix, will respin and submit the cleanup another time, if necessary.
u16 ad_actor_sys_prio = 0; u16 ad_user_port_key = 0; - __be32 arp_target[BOND_MAX_ARP_TARGETS]; + __be32 arp_target[BOND_MAX_ARP_TARGETS] = { 0 };this is the only change required to avoid reported error.
Absolutely correct. -- Jarod Wilson jarod@xxxxxxxxxx
