- *	- Added support for lacp_rate module param.
- *
- * 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Based on discussion on mailing list, changed locking scheme
- *	  to use lock/unlock or lock_bh/unlock_bh appropriately instead
- *	  of lock_irqsave/unlock_irqrestore. The new scheme helps exposing
- *	  hidden bugs and solves system hangs that occurred due to the fact
- *	  that holding lock_irqsave doesn't prevent softirqs from running.
- *	  This also increases total throughput since interrupts are not
- *	  blocked on each transmitted packets or monitor timeout.
- *
- * 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Renamed bond_3ad_link_status_changed() to
- *	  bond_3ad_handle_link_change() for compatibility with TLB.
- *
- * 2003/05/20 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
- *	- Fix long fail over time when releasing last slave of an active
- *	  aggregator - send LACPDU on unbind of slave to tell partner this
- *	  port is no longer aggregatable.
- *
- * 2003/06/25 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com>
- *	- Send LACPDU as highest priority packet to further fix the above

  *
- * v0.1 - first working version.
- * v0.2 - changed stats to be calculated by summing slaves stats.
- *
- * Changes:
- * Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@conectiva.com.br>
- * - fix leaks on failure at bond_init
- *
- * 2000/09/30 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
- *     - added trivial code to release a slave device.
- *     - fixed security bug (CAP_NET_ADMIN not checked)
- *     - implemented MII link monitoring to disable dead links :
- *       All MII capable slaves are checked every <miimon> milliseconds
- *       (100 ms seems good). This value can be changed by passing it to
- *       insmod. A value of zero disables the monitoring (default).
- *     - fixed an infinite loop in bond_xmit_roundrobin() when there's no
- *       good slave.
- *     - made the code hopefully SMP safe
- *
- * 2000/10/03 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
- *     - optimized slave lists based on relevant suggestions from Thomas Davis
- *     - implemented active-backup method to obtain HA with two switches:
- *       stay as long as possible on the same active interface, while we
- *       also monitor the backup one (MII link status) because we want to know
- *       if we are able to switch at any time. ( pass "mode=1" to insmod )
- *     - lots of stress testings because we need it to be more robust than the
- *       wires ! :->
- *
- * 2000/10/09 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
- *     - added up and down delays after link state change.
- *     - optimized the slaves chaining so that when we run forward, we never
- *       repass through the bond itself, but we can find it by searching
- *       backwards. Renders the deletion more difficult, but accelerates the
- *       scan.
- *     - smarter enslaving and releasing.
- *     - finer and more robust SMP locking
- *
- * 2000/10/17 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
- *     - fixed two potential SMP race conditions
- *
- * 2000/10/18 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
- *     - small fixes to the monitoring FSM in case of zero delays
- * 2000/11/01 - Willy Tarreau <willy at meta-x.org>
- *     - fixed first slave not automatically used in trunk mode.
- * 2000/11/10 : spelling of "EtherChannel" corrected.
- * 2000/11/13 : fixed a race condition in case of concurrent accesses to ioctl().
- * 2000/12/16 : fixed improper usage of rtnl_exlock_nowait().
- *
- * 2001/1/3 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
- *     - The bonding driver now simulates MII status monitoring, just like
- *       a normal network device.  It will show that the link is down iff
- *       every slave in the bond shows that their links are down.  If at least
- *       one slave is up, the bond's MII status will appear as up.
- *
- * 2001/2/7 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
- *     - Applications can now query the bond from user space to get
- *       information which may be useful.  They do this by calling
- *       the BOND_INFO_QUERY ioctl.  Once the app knows how many slaves
- *       are in the bond, it can call the BOND_SLAVE_INFO_QUERY ioctl to
- *       get slave specific information (# link failures, etc).  See
- *       <linux/if_bonding.h> for more details.  The structs of interest
- *       are ifbond and ifslave.
- *
- * 2001/4/5 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
- *     - Ported to 2.4 Kernel
- *
- * 2001/5/2 - Jeffrey E. Mast <jeff at mastfamily dot com>
- *     - When a device is detached from a bond, the slave device is no longer
- *       left thinking that is has a master.
- *
- * 2001/5/16 - Jeffrey E. Mast <jeff at mastfamily dot com>
- *     - memset did not appropriately initialized the bond rw_locks. Used
- *       rwlock_init to initialize to unlocked state to prevent deadlock when
- *       first attempting a lock
- *     - Called SET_MODULE_OWNER for bond device
- *
- * 2001/5/17 - Tim Anderson <tsa at mvista.com>
- *     - 2 paths for releasing for slave release; 1 through ioctl
- *       and 2) through close. Both paths need to release the same way.
- *     - the free slave in bond release is changing slave status before
- *       the free. The netdev_set_master() is intended to change slave state
- *       so it should not be done as part of the release process.
- *     - Simple rule for slave state at release: only the active in A/B and
- *       only one in the trunked case.
- *
- * 2001/6/01 - Tim Anderson <tsa at mvista.com>
- *     - Now call dev_close when releasing a slave so it doesn't screw up
- *       out routing table.
- *
- * 2001/6/01 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
- *     - Added /proc support for getting bond and slave information.
- *       Information is in /proc/net/<bond device>/info.
- *     - Changed the locking when calling bond_close to prevent deadlock.
- *
- * 2001/8/05 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us.ibm.com>
- *     - correct problem where refcnt of slave is not incremented in bond_ioctl
- *       so the system hangs when halting.
- *     - correct locking problem when unable to malloc in bond_enslave.
- *     - adding bond_xmit_xor logic.
- *     - adding multiple bond device support.
- *
- * 2001/8/13 - Erik Habbinga <erik_habbinga at hp dot com>
- *     - correct locking problem with rtnl_exlock_nowait
- *
- * 2001/8/23 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us.ibm.com>
- *     - bzero initial dev_bonds, to correct oops
- *     - convert SIOCDEVPRIVATE to new MII ioctl calls
- *
- * 2001/9/13 - Takao Indoh <indou dot takao at jp dot fujitsu dot com>
- *     - Add the BOND_CHANGE_ACTIVE ioctl implementation
- *
- * 2001/9/14 - Mark Huth <mhuth at mvista dot com>
- *     - Change MII_LINK_READY to not check for end of auto-negotiation,
- *       but only for an up link.
- *
- * 2001/9/20 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
- *     - Add the device field to bonding_t.  Previously the net_device
- *       corresponding to a bond wasn't available from the bonding_t
- *       structure.
- *
- * 2001/9/25 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us.ibm.com>
- *     - add arp_monitor for active backup mode
- *
- * 2001/10/23 - Takao Indoh <indou dot takao at jp dot fujitsu dot com>
- *     - Various memory leak fixes
- *
- * 2001/11/5 - Mark Huth <mark dot huth at mvista dot com>
- *     - Don't take rtnl lock in bond_mii_monitor as it deadlocks under
- *       certain hotswap conditions.
- *       Note:  this same change may be required in bond_arp_monitor ???
- *     - Remove possibility of calling bond_sethwaddr with NULL slave_dev ptr
- *     - Handle hot swap ethernet interface deregistration events to remove
- *       kernel oops following hot swap of enslaved interface
- *
- * 2002/1/2 - Chad N. Tindel <ctindel at ieee dot org>
- *     - Restore original slave flags at release time.
- *
- * 2002/02/18 - Erik Habbinga <erik_habbinga at hp dot com>
- *     - bond_release(): calling kfree on our_slave after call to
- *       bond_restore_slave_flags, not before
- *     - bond_enslave(): saving slave flags into original_flags before
- *       call to netdev_set_master, so the IFF_SLAVE flag doesn't end
- *       up in original_flags
- *
- * 2002/04/05 - Mark Smith <mark.smith at comdev dot cc> and
- *              Steve Mead <steve.mead at comdev dot cc>
- *     - Port Gleb Natapov's multicast support patchs from 2.4.12
- *       to 2.4.18 adding support for multicast.
- *
- * 2002/06/10 - Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com>
- *     - corrected uninitialized pointer (ifr.ifr_data) in bond_check_dev_link;
- *       actually changed function to use MIIPHY, then MIIREG, and finally
- *       ETHTOOL to determine the link status
- *     - fixed bad ifr_data pointer assignments in bond_ioctl
- *     - corrected mode 1 being reported as active-backup in bond_get_info;
- *       also added text to distinguish type of load balancing (rr or xor)
- *     - change arp_ip_target module param from "1-12s" (array of 12 ptrs)
- *       to "s" (a single ptr)
- *
- * 2002/08/30 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- *     - Removed acquisition of xmit_lock in set_multicast_list; caused
- *       deadlock on SMP (lock is held by caller).
- *     - Revamped SIOCGMIIPHY, SIOCGMIIREG portion of bond_check_dev_link().
- *
- * 2002/09/18 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- *     - Fixed up bond_check_dev_link() (and callers): removed some magic
- *	 numbers, banished local MII_ defines, wrapped ioctl calls to
- *	 prevent EFAULT errors
- *
- * 2002/9/30 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- *     - make sure the ip target matches the arp_target before saving the
- *	 hw address.
- *
- * 2002/9/30 - Dan Eisner <eisner at 2robots dot com>
- *     - make sure my_ip is set before taking down the link, since
- *	 not all switches respond if the source ip is not set.
- *
- * 2002/10/8 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us dot ibm dot com>
- *     - read in the local ip address when enslaving a device
- *     - add primary support
- *     - make sure 2*arp_interval has passed when a new device
- *       is brought on-line before taking it down.
- *
- * 2002/09/11 - Philippe De Muyter <phdm at macqel dot be>
- *     - Added bond_xmit_broadcast logic.
- *     - Added bond_mode() support function.
- *
- * 2002/10/26 - Laurent Deniel <laurent.deniel at free.fr>
- *     - allow to register multicast addresses only on active slave
- *       (useful in active-backup mode)
- *     - add multicast module parameter
- *     - fix deletion of multicast groups after unloading module
- *
- * 2002/11/06 - Kameshwara Rayaprolu <kameshwara.rao * wipro_com>
- *     - Changes to prevent panic from closing the device twice; if we close
- *       the device in bond_release, we must set the original_flags to down
- *       so it won't be closed again by the network layer.
- *
- * 2002/11/07 - Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com>
- *     - Fix arp_target_hw_addr memory leak
- *     - Created activebackup_arp_monitor function to handle arp monitoring
- *       in active backup mode - the bond_arp_monitor had several problems...
- *       such as allowing slaves to tx arps sequentially without any delay
- *       for a response
- *     - Renamed bond_arp_monitor to loadbalance_arp_monitor and re-wrote
- *       this function to just handle arp monitoring in load-balancing mode;
- *       it is a lot more compact now
- *     - Changes to ensure one and only one slave transmits in active-backup
- *       mode
- *     - Robustesize parameters; warn users about bad combinations of
- *       parameters; also if miimon is specified and a network driver does
- *       not support MII or ETHTOOL, inform the user of this
- *     - Changes to support link_failure_count when in arp monitoring mode
- *     - Fix up/down delay reported in /proc
- *     - Added version; log version; make version available from "modinfo -d"
- *     - Fixed problem in bond_check_dev_link - if the first IOCTL (SIOCGMIIPH)
- *	 failed, the ETHTOOL ioctl never got a chance
- *
- * 2002/11/16 - Laurent Deniel <laurent.deniel at free.fr>
- *     - fix multicast handling in activebackup_arp_monitor
- *     - remove one unnecessary and confusing curr_active_slave == slave test
- *	 in activebackup_arp_monitor
- *
- *  2002/11/17 - Laurent Deniel <laurent.deniel at free.fr>
- *     - fix bond_slave_info_query when slave_id = num_slaves
- *
- *  2002/11/19 - Janice Girouard <girouard at us dot ibm dot com>
- *     - correct ifr_data reference.  Update ifr_data reference
- *       to mii_ioctl_data struct values to avoid confusion.
- *
- *  2002/11/22 - Bert Barbe <bert.barbe at oracle dot com>
- *      - Add support for multiple arp_ip_target
- *
- *  2002/12/13 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- *	- Changed to allow text strings for mode and multicast, e.g.,
- *	  insmod bonding mode=active-backup.  The numbers still work.
- *	  One change: an invalid choice will cause module load failure,
- *	  rather than the previous behavior of just picking one.
- *	- Minor cleanups; got rid of dup ctype stuff, atoi function
- *
- * 2003/02/07 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- *	- Added use_carrier module parameter that causes miimon to
- *	  use netif_carrier_ok() test instead of MII/ETHTOOL ioctls.
- *	- Minor cleanups; consolidated ioctl calls to one function.
- *
- * 2003/02/07 - Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com>
- *	- Fix bond_mii_monitor() logic error that could result in
- *	  bonding round-robin mode ignoring links after failover/recovery
- *
- * 2003/03/17 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- *	- kmalloc fix (GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC) reported by
- *	  Shmulik dot Hen at intel.com.
- *	- Based on discussion on mailing list, changed use of
- *	  update_slave_cnt(), created wrapper functions for adding/removing
- *	  slaves, changed bond_xmit_xor() to check slave_cnt instead of
- *	  checking slave and slave->dev (which only worked by accident).
- *	- Misc code cleanup: get arp_send() prototype from header file,
- *	  add max_bonds to bonding.txt.
- *
- * 2003/03/18 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
- *		Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Make sure only bond_attach_slave() and bond_detach_slave() can
- *	  manipulate the slave list, including slave_cnt, even when in
- *	  bond_release_all().
- *	- Fixed hang in bond_release() with traffic running:
- *	  netdev_set_master() must not be called from within the bond lock.
- *
- * 2003/03/18 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and

- *
- * 2003/03/18 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
- *	- Added support for getting slave's speed and duplex via ethtool.
- *	  Needed for 802.3ad and other future modes.
- *
- * 2003/03/18 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
- *		Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Enable support of modes that need to use the unique mac address of
- *	  each slave.
- *	  * bond_enslave(): Moved setting the slave's mac address, and
- *	    openning it, from the application to the driver. This breaks
- *	    backward comaptibility with old versions of ifenslave that open
- *	     the slave before enalsving it !!!.
- *	  * bond_release(): The driver also takes care of closing the slave
- *	    and restoring its original mac address.
- *	- Removed the code that restores all base driver's flags.
- *	  Flags are automatically restored once all undo stages are done
- *	  properly.
- *	- Block possibility of enslaving before the master is up. This
- *	  prevents putting the system in an unstable state.
- *
- * 2003/03/18 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>,
- *		Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
- *		Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Added support for IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation mode.
- *
- * 2003/05/01 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
- *	- Added ABI version control to restore compatibility between
- *	  new/old ifenslave and new/old bonding.
- *
- * 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Fixed bug in bond_release_all(): save old value of curr_active_slave
- *	  before setting it to NULL.
- *	- Changed driver versioning scheme to include version number instead
- *	  of release date (that is already in another field). There are 3
- *	  fields X.Y.Z where:
- *		X - Major version - big behavior changes
- *		Y - Minor version - addition of features
- *		Z - Extra version - minor changes and bug fixes
- *	  The current version is 1.0.0 as a base line.
- *
- * 2003/05/01 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and
- *		Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
- *	- Added support for lacp_rate module param.
- *	- Code beautification and style changes (mainly in comments).
- *	  new version - 1.0.1
- *
- * 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Based on discussion on mailing list, changed locking scheme
- *	  to use lock/unlock or lock_bh/unlock_bh appropriately instead
- *	  of lock_irqsave/unlock_irqrestore. The new scheme helps exposing
- *	  hidden bugs and solves system hangs that occurred due to the fact
- *	  that holding lock_irqsave doesn't prevent softirqs from running.
- *	  This also increases total throughput since interrupts are not
- *	  blocked on each transmitted packets or monitor timeout.
- *	  new version - 2.0.0
- *
- * 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Added support for Transmit load balancing mode.
- *	- Concentrate all assignments of curr_active_slave to a single point
- *	  so specific modes can take actions when the primary adapter is
- *	  changed.
- *	- Take the updelay parameter into consideration during bond_enslave
- *	  since some adapters loose their link during setting the device.
- *	- Renamed bond_3ad_link_status_changed() to
- *	  bond_3ad_handle_link_change() for compatibility with TLB.
- *	  new version - 2.1.0
- *
- * 2003/05/01 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com>
- *	- Added support for Adaptive load balancing mode which is
- *	  equivalent to Transmit load balancing + Receive load balancing.
- *	  new version - 2.2.0
- *
- * 2003/05/15 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- *	- Applied fix to activebackup_arp_monitor posted to bonding-devel
- *	  by Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com>.  Fixes ARP
- *	  monitor endless failover bug.  Version to 2.2.10
- *
- * 2003/05/20 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
- *	- Fixed bug in ABI version control - Don't commit to a specific
- *	  ABI version if receiving unsupported ioctl commands.
- *
- * 2003/05/22 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>
- *	- Fix ifenslave -c causing bond to loose existing routes;
- *	  added bond_set_mac_address() that doesn't require the
- *	  bond to be down.
- *	- In conjunction with fix for ifenslave -c, in
- *	  bond_change_active(), changing to the already active slave
- *	  is no longer an error (it successfully does nothing).
- *
- * 2003/06/30 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>

- *	       Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
- *	- Propagating master's settings: Distinguish between modes that
- *	  use a primary slave from those that don't, and propagate settings
- *	  accordingly; Consolidate change_active opeartions and add
- *	  reselect_active and find_best opeartions; Decouple promiscuous
- *	  handling from the multicast mode setting; Add support for changing
- *	  HW address and MTU with proper unwind; Consolidate procfs code,

- *	  o Remove dead code and unnecessary checks.
- *	  o Consolidate starting/stopping timers.
- *	  o Consolidate handling of primary module param throughout the code.
- *	  o Removed multicast module param support - all settings are done
- *	    according to mode.
- *	  o Slave list iteration - bond is no longer part of the list,
- *	    added cyclic list iteration macros.
- *	  o Consolidate error handling in all xmit functions.

- * 2003/12/30 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
- *	- Fixed: Cannot remove and re-enslave the original active slave.
- *	- Fixed: Releasing the original active slave causes mac address
- *		 duplication.

- *	  Set version to 2.6.0.
- * 2004/10/29 - Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams at intel dot com>
- *      - Fixed bug when unloading module while using 802.3ad.  If
- *        spinlock debugging is turned on, this causes a stack dump.
- *        Solution is to move call to dev_remove_pack outside of the
- *        spinlock.
- *        Set version to 2.6.1.
- * 2005/06/05 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>

- * 	  Includes support for VLAN tagging all bonding-generated ARPs
- * 	  as needed.  Set version to 2.6.2.
- * 2005/06/08 - Jason Gabler <jygabler at lbl dot gov>
- *	- alternate hashing policy support for mode 2
- *	  * Added kernel parameter "xmit_hash_policy" to allow the selection
- *	    of different hashing policies for mode 2.  The original mode 2
- *	    policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2().
- *	  * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34()
- *	- Modified by Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> to also support mode 4.
- *	  Set version to 2.6.3.
- * 2005/09/26 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>
- *	- Removed backwards compatibility for old ifenslaves.  Version 2.6.4.
- * 2005/09/27 - Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams at intel dot com>
- *	- Radheka Godse <radheka.godse at intel dot com>
- *	- Split out bond creation code to allow for sysfs interface.
- *	- Removed static declaration on some functions and data items.
- *	- Added sysfs support, including capability to add/remove/change
- *	   any bond at runtime.
- *
- *	- Miscellaneous:
- *	- Added bonding: <bondname>: prefix to sysfs log messages
- *	- Added arp_ip_targets to /proc entry
- *	- Allow ARP target table to have empty entries
- *	- trivial fix: added missing modes description to modinfo
- *	- Corrected bug in ALB init where kmalloc is called inside
- *	  a held lock
- *	- Corrected behavior to maintain bond link when changing
- *	  from arp monitor to miimon and vice versa
- *	- Added missing bonding: <bondname>: prefix to alb, ad log messages
- *	- Fixed stack dump warnings seen if changing between miimon
- *	  and arp monitoring when the bond interface is down.
- *	- Fixed stack dump warnings seen when enslaving an e100
- *	  driver
- *	- Set version to 3.0.0
