I see. I'm not 100% that this is expected to work without leaking the
driver's queues though. The driver is allowed to do allocations in
its rx_queue_setup() function that are being freed via
rx_queue_release() later. But rx_queue_release() is only called if you
reconfigure the
device with 0 queues. From what I understand there is no other way to
reconfigure a device to use another mempool.

But ... even that wouldn't work with the bonding driver right now: the
bonding master only configures the slaves during startup. I can put
that on my todo list.

Coming back to your original problem: changing the MTU for the bond
does work through rte_eth_dev_set_mtu() for slaves supporting that. In
any other case you could (re-)configure rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len (and
jumbo_frame / enable_scatter accordingly). This does work without a
call to rte_eth_rx_queue_setup().

Hope this helps,
Jan
