2005-08-23[PATCH] bonding: inherit zero-copy flags of slavesArthur Kepner
This change allows a bonding device to inherit the "zero-copy" features of its slave devices. It was inspired by a couple of previous postings on this topic: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bonding-devel&m=111924607327794&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bonding-devel&m=111925242706297&w=2 and it's largely a combination of the patches that appear in those emails.

2005-06-26bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hashJay Vosburgh
Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Default mode (what we have now: xor of MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port information for hashing to select peer. Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode; modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode. Jason's original comment is as follows: The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows: - alternate hashing policy support for mode 2 * Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification of different hashing policies for mode 2. The original mode 2 policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2(). * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34() This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco, Foundry and IBM, which are explained in Foundry documentation found at: http://www.foundrynet.com/services/documentation/sribcg/Trunking.html#112750 Signed-off-by: Jason Gabler <jygabler@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>
2005-06-26bonding: gratuitous ARPJay Vosburgh
Add support for generating gratuitous ARPs in bonding active-backup mode when failovers occur. Includes support for VLAN tagging the ARPs as needed. Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>

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!
