Documentation: replace install commands with softdeps

2012-03-30T23:03:15+00:00

Install commands should not be used to specify soft dependencies among
modules. When loading modules it's much better to have a softdep that
modprobe knows what's being done than having to fork/exec another
instance of modprobe to load the other module.

By using a softdep user has also an option to remove the dependencies
when removing the module (and if its refcount dropped to 0)

Documentation: remove references to /etc/modprobe.conf

2012-03-30T23:03:15+00:00

Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
context.

There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
kernels that are being removed.

bonding: document undocumented active_slave sysfs entry.

2011-12-27T01:09:35+00:00

v2, based on Jay's review.

I kept the 'link must be up' part, because this is enforced in the code.

ipv4, ipv6, bonding: Restore control over number of peer notifications

2011-04-29T19:44:11+00:00

For backward compatibility, we should retain the module parameters and
sysfs attributes to control the number of peer notifications
(gratuitous ARPs and unsolicited NAs) sent after bonding failover.
Also, it is possible for failover to take place even though the new
active slave does not have link up, and in that case the peer
notification should be deferred until it does.

Change ipv4 and ipv6 so they do not automatically send peer
notifications on bonding failover.

Change the bonding driver to send separate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
notifications when the link is up, as many times as requested.  Since
it does not directly control which protocols send notifications, make
num_grat_arp and num_unsol_na aliases for a single parameter.  Bump
the bonding version number and update its documentation.

bonding: documentation update: mailing lists.

2011-03-14T22:37:05+00:00

In commit a6c36ee677607b02d8ecc88e8a12785418b88107 ("bonding: change list
contact to netdev@vger.kernel.org"), the mailing list for bonding
developpement was changed from bonding-devel to netdev.

Update the bonding documentation to reflect this change:

- bonding-devel is used for usage discussions (despite the name).
- netdev is used for developpement discussions.

Also remove the reference to the sourceforge bonding page, which is
deprecated.
