Bonding: fix zero address hole bug in arp_ip_target list

2009-04-27T17:37:05Z

upstream commit: 5a31bec014449dc9ca994e4c1dbf2802b7ca458a Fix a zero address hole bug in the bonding arp_ip_target list that was causing the bond to ignore ARP replies (bugz 13006). Instead of just setting the array entry to zero, we now copy any additional entries down one slot, putting the zero entry at the end. With this change we can now have all the loops that walk the array stop when they hit a zero since there will be no addresses after it. Changes are based in part on code fragment provided in kernel: bugzilla 13006: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13006 by Steve Howard Signed-off-by: Brian Haley Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh Signed-off-by: David S.

The NAPI poll parameter netdev_budget is not documented in kernel-docs. Since it may have a substantial effect on at least some network loads, it should be. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
