[PATCH v2] bonding: move IPv6 support into a separate kernel module
From: Brian Haley
Date: Wed Feb 25 2009 - 15:44:56 EST
[Possible fix v2 for bonding IPv6 regression reported by Andrey Borzenkov, added
automatic loading of bonding_ipv6]
This patch moves the IPv6 bonding code into a separate kernel module
called bonding_ipv6 if either bonding or IPv6 are built as modules.
If both are built into the kernel then this is as well. Bonding_ipv6.ko
registers an "send_unsol_na" function pointer for the unsolicited
advertisement function to be called on a failover - the default action
is to do nothing. The notifier callbacks are now registered in this
module and not in the base bonding module.
Also, have the IPv6 address notifier request that the bonding_ipv6
module be loaded when an IFF_MASTER device is first brought-up.
This avoids users from having to do this explicitly with modprobe.
