Patches 1-10 were originally submitted in V4 and patch 11 is an addition by Jay. Jay, The bonding patches you acked remain unchanged while I guess I sitll need to get an official ack by Roland for the IPoIB patches. Is it OK with you to push the entire series to the networking tree? Roland has already agreed to do so. Major changes from the previous version: ---------------------------------------- 1. Style changes 2. IPoIB - notify slave detach on vlan delete 3. Add function to net/core for slave detach instead of having it only in ib/ipoib 4. IPoIB - handle ib device and bonding device the same way in neigh_cleanup function Links to earlier discussion: ---------------------------- 1. A discussion in netdev about bonding support for IPoIB. http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2006/11/30/46 2. V4 series http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2007-August/039825.html
