      bonding: send arp requests even if there's no route to them · 28572760
      Veaceslav Falico authored
      Currently we're only sending arp requests if we have a route to the target
      (and, thus, can find out the source ip address).
      
      There are some use cases, however, where we don't want/need to set an ip
      address (or set up a specific route) for bonding to use arp monitoring *for
      traffic generation*. We can easily send arp probes (arp requests with src
      ip == 0) to generate arp broadcast responses from the target ip and use
      them for determining if the target is up.
      
      This, obviously, won't work with arp validation - because we don't have the
      ip address set and, thus, will filter out the responses. So in that case -
      print a warning.
