Patches 1 - 3 comprise support for NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER notifiers; the first patch adds the define, the second cleans up part of bonding in preparation for the notifier call, and the third adds the notifier call itself. Patch 4 cleans up and improves previously added support for specifying the number of gratuitous ARPs to be issued at failover time for the active-backup mode. Patch 5 permits specifying max_bonds as zero (creating no bond0 device). Also provides an API from net/core to create and destroy files in net_class so that /sys/class/net/bonding_masters will be created. This was previously done by backtracking from the first bonding device's sysfs information (dev->dev.class). Please apply. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, fubar@us.ibm.com
