Howdy,

While I was studying what bond_3ad has under its hood, I realized its coding
style did not follow all Documentation/CodingStyle recommendations. As a tiny
collaboration I did some mods there, in an attempt to make that code stick as
closely as possible with Kernel's coding style. Also, Nicolas Kaiser has kindly
suggested some conditional simplifications integrated in this patch.
Modifications:
        * switched all comments from C99-style to C89-style;
        * replaced MAC_ADDRESS_COMPARE macro for compare_ether_addr();
	* use pr_debug to print info on unexpected status checkings;
        * simplify conditionals:
		(a || (!a && !b)) => (a || !b)
		(!(!a && b)) => (a || !b)

uninitialized_var isn't necessary.  Every case will set retval.

	This comment can just be removed; I think we know what locks are
for.

	I think this should be more verbose than a pr_debug, because
this is an impossible case that should never happen in actual practice,
and, if it does, may break things in odd ways.

	These two do-nothing functions should either

	a) be removed entirely, and their call site replaced with a
comment explaining this variation on the standard (that we don't need
the "Attach_Mux_To_Aggregator" or "Detach_Mux_From_Aggregator" functions
specified in the standard for the "Mux machine state diagram"), or

	b) the comment needs to remain in some form to document this
variation on the standard.

	This won't apply to current net-next-2.6; the "basic_speed"
variable was removed from this function in net-next-2.6 a few weeks ago.

	In any event, the "uninitialized_var" business shouldn't be
necessary if the function is arranged reasonably, e.g.,

{
	u32 bandwidth;

	if (aggregator->num_of_ports) {
		switch (...) {
		case AD_LINK_SPEED_WHATEVER:
			bandwidth = something;
			break;
		default:
			pr_warn or WARN(1, ...);
			bandwidth = 0;

My preference is to return early and reduce indentation.

It can make things like pr_<foo> or WARN more likely to
fit on a single.

{
	int bandwidth;

	if (!aggregator->num_of_ports)
		return 0;

	switch (...) {
	case FOO:
		bandwidth = bar;
		break;
	...
	}

	return bandwidth;
}

Those comments were stripped from the function bodies because they already are
present in their leading comment blocks. Leaving them there sounded to me just
like echoing the very same thing twice.

However, each one of those functions is just called once from ad_mux_machine(),
so it might be a better idea (and easy) to wipe them away -- following your
suggestion a); or we can just leave them there, turning them into inline
functions instead. What approach do you prefer?

All other notes and suggestions you provide me will be accomplished soon.

Thanks for keep providing valuable feedback.

Cheers!
