When a bond in balance-slb is created, the ports are enabled or disabled
based on carrier and link state. If the link/carrier goes down, the port
becomes disabled and we must make sure the MAC tables of the switches
are updated properly so the traffic is redirected.
In order to solve this, we send a GARP or RARP broadcast packet on the
bond. This fix cover 3 different balance-slb scenarios.
Scenario 1: The bond in balance-slb mode has IPv4 address configured and
some ports connected. Here the bond is acting like active-backup as the
packets will always have as source MAC the address of the bond
interface. When a port goes down, NetworkManager will send a GARP
broadcast announcing the address configured on the bond with the MAC
address configured on the port.
Scenario 2: The bond in balance-slb mode is connected to a bridge and has
some ports connected. The bridge has IPv4 configured. When a port goes
down, NetworkManager will send a GARP broadcast announcing the address
configured on the bridge with the MAC address configured on the port.
Scenario 3: The bond in balance-slb mode is connected to a bridge and
has some ports connected. The bridge does not have IP configuration and
therefore everything is L2. When a port goes down, NetworkManager will
query the FDB table and filter the entries by the ones belonging to the
bridge and the bond ifindexes. Then, it will send a RARP broadcast
announcing every learned MAC address from FDB.

G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_CAST() can trigger a "-Wcast-align":

Avoid that by using _NM_G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE_CAST().
This can only be done for our internal usages. The public headers
of libnm are not changed.
Currently "src/" mostly contains the source code of the daemon.
I say mostly, because that is not true, there are also the device,
settings, wwan, ppp plugins, the initrd generator, the pppd and dhcp
helper, and probably more.
Also we have source code under libnm-core/, libnm/, clients/, and
shared/ directories. That is all confusing.
We should have one "src" directory, that contains subdirectories. Those
subdirectories should contain individual parts (libraries or
applications), that possibly have dependencies on other subdirectories.
There should be a flat hierarchy of directories under src/, which
contains individual modules.
As the name "src/" is already taken, that prevents any sensible
restructuring of the code.
As a first step, move "src/" to "src/core/". This gives space to
reorganize the code better by moving individual components into "src/".
For inspiration, look at systemd's "src/" directory.
