2011-03-02bonding/vlan: Avoid mangled NAs on slaves without VLAN tag insertionBen Hutchings
This is related to commit f88a4a9b65a6f3422b81be995535d0e69df11bb8 upstream, but the bug cannot be properly fixed without the other changes to VLAN tagging in 2.6.37. bond_na_send() attempts to insert a VLAN tag in between building and sending packets of the respective formats. If the slave does not implement hardware VLAN tag insertion then vlan_put_tag() will mangle the network-layer header because the Ethernet header is not present at this point (unlike in bond_arp_send()).

2008-12-09bonding: fix compile error if debug enabledHolger Eitzenberger
This is what I get if debug is enabled: drivers/net/bonding/bond_ipv6.c: In function 'bond_na_send': drivers/net/bonding/bond_ipv6.c:75: error: 'slave' undeclared (first use in this function) drivers/net/bonding/bond_ipv6.c:75: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once drivers/net/bonding/bond_ipv6.c:75: error: for each function it appears in.) This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Holger Eitzenberger <holger@eitzenberger.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-11-06bonding: send IPv6 neighbor advertisement on failoverBrian Haley
This patch adds better IPv6 failover support for bonding devices, especially when in active-backup mode and there are only IPv6 addresses configured, as reported by Alex Sidorenko. - Creates a new file, net/drivers/bonding/bond_ipv6.c, for the IPv6-specific routines. Both regular bonds and VLANs over bonds are supported. - Adds a new tunable, num_unsol_na, to limit the number of unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisements that are sent on a failover event. Default is 1. - Creates two new IPv6 neighbor discovery functions: ndisc_build_skb() ndisc_send_skb() These were required to support VLANs since we have to be able to add the VLAN id to the skb since ndisc_send_na() and friends shouldn't be asked to do this. These two routines are basically __ndisc_send() split into two pieces, in a slightly different order. - Updates Documentation/networking/bonding.txt and bumps the rev of bond support to 3.4.0. On failover, this new code will generate one packet: - An unsolicited IPv6 Neighbor Advertisement, which helps the switch learn that the address has moved to the new slave. Testing has shown that sending just the NA results in pretty good behavior when in active-back mode, I saw no lost ping packets for example.
