The bonding driver is multiqueue enabled, in which each queue represents a slave
to enable optional steering of output frames to given slaves against the default
output policy.  However, it needs to reset the skb->queue_mapping prior to
queuing to the physical device or the physical slave (if it is multiqueue) could
wind up transmitting on an unintended tx queue

Change Notes:
v2) Based on first pass review, updated the patch to restore the origional queue
mapping that was found in bond_select_queue, rather than simply resetting to
zero.  This preserves the value of queue_mapping when it was set on receive in
the forwarding case which is desireable.

v3) Fixed spelling an casting error in skb->cb

v4) fixed to store raw queue_mapping to avoid double decrement

Please dont do that. Use a helper.

For example :

#define bond_queue_mapping(skb) (*(unsigned int *)((skb)->cb))


	skb->queue_mapping = bond_queue_mapping(skb);

Why?  It seems to be reasonably common practice for drivers to access
queue_mapping directly.

Examples can be found in:
ixgbe_xmit_frame
mlx4_en_xmit
qlge_send
igb_xmit_frame_adv
gfar_start_xmit

among others.

Not saying its correct to do so necessecarily, but it seems a helper doesn't buy
us much here, particularly a per-driver helper.  If a helper really should be
used, why not just consistently use skb_get_queue_mapping?

I was speaking of skb->cb access, of course, sorry if you missed my
point ;)

Please take a look at various files using helpers for this.

For example : net/ipv4/igmp.c

#define igmp_skb_size(skb) (*(unsigned int *)((skb)->cb))
