net: bonding: Fix transmit load balancing in balance-alb mode if specified by sysfs
Commit cbf5ecb30560 ("net: bonding: Fix transmit load balancing in balance-alb mode") tried to fix transmit dynamic load balancing in balance-alb mode, which wasn't working after commit 8b426dc54cf4 ("bonding: remove hardcoded value"). It turned out that my previous patch only fixed the case when balance-alb was specified as bonding module parameter, and not when balance-alb mode was set using /sys/class/net/*/bonding/mode (the most common usage). In the latter case, tlb_dynamic_lb was set up according to the default mode of the bonding interface, which happens to be balance-rr. This additional patch addresses this issue by setting up tlb_dynamic_lb to 1 if "mode" is set to balance-alb through the sysfs interface. I didn't add code to change tlb_balance_lb back to the default value for other modes, because "mode" is usually set up only once during initialization, and it's not worthwhile to change the static variable bonding_defaults in bond_main.c to a global variable just for this purpose. Commit 8b426dc54cf4 also changes the value of tlb_dynamic_lb for balance-tlb mode if it is set up using the sysfs interface. I didn't change that behavior, because the value of tlb_balance_lb can be changed using the sysfs interface for balance-tlb, and I didn't like changing the default value back and forth for balance-tlb. As for balance-alb, /sys/class/net/*/bonding/tlb_balance_lb cannot be written to. However, I think balance-alb with tlb_dynamic_lb set to 0 is not an intended usage, so there is little use making it writable at this moment.
