+
+READ MEMORY BARRIERS VS LOAD SPECULATION
+----------------------------------------
+
+Many CPUs speculate with loads: that is they see that they will need to load an
+item from memory, and they find a time where they're not using the bus for any
+other loads, and so do the load in advance - even though they haven't actually
+got to that point in the instruction execution flow yet.  This permits the
+actual load instruction to potentially complete immediately because the CPU
+already has the value to hand.
+
+It may turn out that the CPU didn't actually need the value - perhaps because a
+branch circumvented the load - in which case it can discard the value or just
+cache it for later use.
+
+Consider:
+

+3.4 Configuring Bonding Manually via Sysfs
+------------------------------------------
+
+	Starting with version 3.0, Channel Bonding may be configured
+via the sysfs interface.  This interface allows dynamic configuration
+of all bonds in the system without unloading the module.  It also
+allows for adding and removing bonds at runtime.  Ifenslave is no
+longer required, though it is still supported.
+
+	Use of the sysfs interface allows you to use multiple bonds
+with different configurations without having to reload the module.
+It also allows you to use multiple, differently configured bonds when
+bonding is compiled into the kernel.
+
+	You must have the sysfs filesystem mounted to configure
+bonding this way.  The examples in this document assume that you
+are using the standard mount point for sysfs, e.g. /sys.  If your
+sysfs filesystem is mounted elsewhere, you will need to adjust the
+example paths accordingly.
+
+Creating and Destroying Bonds
+-----------------------------
+To add a new bond foo:
+# echo +foo > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
+
+To remove an existing bond bar:
+# echo -bar > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
+
+To show all existing bonds:
+# cat /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
+
+NOTE: due to 4K size limitation of sysfs files, this list may be
+truncated if you have more than a few hundred bonds.  This is unlikely
+to occur under normal operating conditions.
+
+Adding and Removing Slaves
+--------------------------
+	Interfaces may be enslaved to a bond using the file
+/sys/class/net/<bond>/bonding/slaves.  The semantics for this file
+are the same as for the bonding_masters file.
+
+To enslave interface eth0 to bond bond0:
+# ifconfig bond0 up
+# echo +eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
+
+To free slave eth0 from bond bond0:
+# echo -eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
+
+	NOTE: The bond must be up before slaves can be added.  All
+slaves are freed when the interface is brought down.
+
+	When an interface is enslaved to a bond, symlinks between the
+two are created in the sysfs filesystem.  In this case, you would get
+/sys/class/net/bond0/slave_eth0 pointing to /sys/class/net/eth0, and
+/sys/class/net/eth0/master pointing to /sys/class/net/bond0.
+
+	This means that you can tell quickly whether or not an
+interface is enslaved by looking for the master symlink.  Thus:
+# echo -eth0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/master/bonding/slaves
+will free eth0 from whatever bond it is enslaved to, regardless of
+the name of the bond interface.
+
+Changing a Bond's Configuration
+-------------------------------
+	Each bond may be configured individually by manipulating the
+files located in /sys/class/net/<bond name>/bonding
+
+	The names of these files correspond directly with the command-
+line parameters described elsewhere in in this file, and, with the
+exception of arp_ip_target, they accept the same values.  To see the
+current setting, simply cat the appropriate file.
+
+	A few examples will be given here; for specific usage
+guidelines for each parameter, see the appropriate section in this
+document.
+
+To configure bond0 for balance-alb mode:
+# ifconfig bond0 down
+# echo 6 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
+ - or -
+# echo balance-alb > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
+	NOTE: The bond interface must be down before the mode can be
+changed.
+
+To enable MII monitoring on bond0 with a 1 second interval:
+# echo 1000 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon
+	NOTE: If ARP monitoring is enabled, it will disabled when MII
+monitoring is enabled, and vice-versa.
+
+To add ARP targets:
+# echo +192.168.0.100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target
+# echo +192.168.0.101 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target
+	NOTE:  up to 10 target addresses may be specified.
+
+To remove an ARP target:
+# echo -192.168.0.100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/arp_ip_target
+
+Example Configuration
+---------------------
+	We begin with the same example that is shown in section 3.3,
+executed with sysfs, and without using ifenslave.
+
+	To make a simple bond of two e100 devices (presumed to be eth0
+and eth1), and have it persist across reboots, edit the appropriate
+file (/etc/init.d/boot.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.local), and add the
+following:
+
+modprobe bonding
+modprobe e100
+echo balance-alb > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
+ifconfig bond0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
+echo 100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon
+echo +eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
+echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
+
+	To add a second bond, with two e1000 interfaces in
+active-backup mode, using ARP monitoring, add the following lines to
+your init script:
+
+modprobe e1000
+echo +bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
+echo active-backup > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/mode
+ifconfig bond1 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
+echo +192.168.2.100 /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/arp_ip_target
+echo 2000 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/arp_interval
+echo +eth2 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/slaves
+echo +eth3 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/slaves
