As stated in the bonding doc, trans_start must be set manually for drivers
using NETIF_F_LLTX:
 Drivers that use NETIF_F_LLTX flag must also update
 netdev_queue->trans_start. If they do not, then the ARP monitor will
 immediately fail any slaves using that driver, and those slaves will stay
 down.

May I ask for a backport to stable of this patch?

It's now in Linus tree: a31d27fbed5d ("tun: fix bonding active backup with arp
monitoring"):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a31d27fbed5d

I didn't put a Fixes tag in the original submission because the bug is there
before git ages.
Maybe "Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")" would have been a better choice.


Regards,
Nicolas
