From b59f9f74c4c0a569398f08c34a877f1b7b457496 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jay Vosburgh Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:12:03 -0700 Subject: bonding: Rework / fix multiple gratuitous ARP support Support for sending multiple gratuitous ARPs during failovers was added by commit: commit 7893b2491a2d5f716540ac5643d78d37a7f6628b Author: Moni Shoua Date: Sat May 17 21:10:12 2008 -0700 bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes over This change modifies that support to remove duplicated code, add support for ARP monitor (the original only supported miimon), clear the grat ARP counter in bond_close (lest a later "ifconfig up" immediately start spewing ARPs), and add documentation for the module parameter. Also updated driver version to 3.3.0.
