Our set was already sent to the bond-devel list on 6/7 and since we didn't get any negative feedback, we would like to make it public. Applies on 2.4.22-rc1. Assumes patch set 1 was already accepted. 1 - Distinguish between modes that use a primary slave from those that don't, and propagate settings accordingly; Consolidate change_active opeartions and add reselect_active and find_best opeartions. 2 - Change monitoring function use the above functionality. 3 - Modes that don't use primary don't use the above functionality. 4 - Decouple promiscuous handling from the multicast mode setting. 5 - Add support for changing HW address and MTU with proper unwind. 6 - Same thing for ALB/TLB modes. 7 - Consolidate procfs code, add CHANGENAME handler 8 - Enhance netdev notification handling. Add comment block and bump version. The things that didn't go in are Jay's IP settings and flags propagation since later dicussions on bond-devel list proved them to be unnecessary. -- | Shmulik Hen Advanced Network Services | | Israel Design Center, Jerusalem | | LAN Access Division, Platform Networking | | Intel Communications Group, Intel corp. |
