[ofa-general] [PATCH V6 0/9] net/bonding: ADD IPoIB support for the bonding driver

[Moni Shoua]

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.
