Ben Hutchings 7c89943236 bonding, ipv4, ipv6, vlan: Handle NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER like NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
It is undesirable for the bonding driver to be poking into higher
level protocols, and notifiers provide a way to avoid that.  This does
mean removing the ability to configure reptitition of gratuitous ARPs
and unsolicited NAs.

Amerigo Wang bd33acc3cc bonding: move procfs code into bond_procfs.c
V2: Move #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS into bonding.h, as suggested by David.

bond_main.c is bloating, separate the procfs code out,
move them to bond_procfs.c

Taku Izumi f073c7ca29 bonding: add the debugfs facility to the bonding driver
This patch provides the debugfs facility to the bonding driver.
The "bonding" directory is created in the debugfs root and directories of
each bonding interface (like bond0, bond1...) are created in that.

 # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug

 # ls /sys/kernel/debug/bonding
 bond0  bond1

Brian Haley 305d552acc bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failover
This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices,
especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses
configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko.

- Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the
   IPv6-specific routines.  Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds
   are supported.

- Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited
   IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event.
   Default is 1.

- Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions:

   ndisc_build_skb()
   ndisc_send_skb()

   These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to
   add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends
   shouldn't be asked to do this.  These two routines are basically
   __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order.

- Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond
   support to 3.4.0.

On failover, this new code will generate one packet:

- An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch
   learn that the address has moved to the new slave.

Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good
behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.

Mitch Williams b76cdba9cd [PATCH] bonding: add sysfs functionality to bonding (large)
This large patch adds sysfs functionality to the channel bonding module.
Bonds can be added, removed, and reconfigured at runtime without having
to reload the module.  Multiple bonds with different configurations are
easily configured, and ifenslave is no longer required to configure bonds.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
