From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Moni Shoua Subject: [PATCH V6 0/9] net/bonding: ADD IPoIB support for the bonding driver Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 17:27:44 +0200 Message-ID: <46F7D770.4090500@voltaire.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: OpenFabrics General To: Roland Dreier , Jay Vosburgh , netdev@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from fwil.voltaire.com ([193.47.165.2]:59896 "EHLO exil.voltaire.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-FAIL) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1754662AbXIXP1x (ORCPT ); Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:27:53 -0400 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org This patch series is the sixth version (see below link to V5) of the suggested changes to the bonding driver so it would be able to support non ARPHRD_ETHER netdevices for its High-Availability (active-backup) mode. Patches 1-8 were originally submitted in V5 and patch 9 is an addition by Jay. Major changes from the previous version: ---------------------------------------- 1. Remove the patches to net/core. Bonding will use the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN notification instead of NETDEV_CHANGE+IFF_SLAVE_DETACH. This reduces the amount of patches from 11 to 9.
