a549952ad3 bonding: introduce primary_reselect option
In some cases there is not desirable to switch back to primary interface when
it's link recovers and rather stay with currently active one. We need to avoid
packetloss as much as we can in some cases. This is solved by introducing
primary_reselect option. Note that enslaved primary slave is set as current
active no matter what.

Patch modified by Jay Vosburgh as follows: fixed bug in action
after change of option setting via sysfs, revised the documentation
update, and bumped the bonding version number.

583e3f34eb be2net: Bug fix to properly update ethtool tx-checksumming after ethtool -K <ifname> tx off
This is a fix for a bug which was a result of wrong use of checksum offload flag.
The status of tx-checksumming was not changed from on to off
after a 'ethtool -K <ifname> tx off' operation.
Use the proper checksum offload flag NETIF_F_HW_CSUM instead of
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM.
Patch is against net-2.6 tree.

In order to support functions such as vlan tag stripping when SR-IOV is
enabled any given packet must match at least one filter.  However in the
case of promiscous mode being enabled on the PF the traffic routed to it
may not match any filters and is just sent to the PF by default.  In order
to make certain that this traffic is processed we can set all bits in the
UTA registers to create a pseudo promiscous mode filter that accepts all
packets.

66466797c7 sky2: irqname based on pci address
This is based on Michal Schmidt fix for skge.

Most network drivers request their IRQ when the interface is activated.
sky2 does it in ->probe() instead, because it can work with two-port
cards where the two net_devices use the same IRQ. This works fine most
of the time, except in some situations when the interface gets renamed.
Consider this example:

1. modprobe sky2
   The card is detected as eth0 and requests IRQ 17. Directory
   /proc/irq/17/eth0 is created.
2. There is an udev rule which says this interface should be called
   eth1, so udev renames eth0 -> eth1.
3. modprobe 8139too
   The Realtek card is detected as eth0. It will be using IRQ 17 too.
4. ip link set eth0 up
   Now 8139too requests IRQ 17.

The result is:
WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:590 proc_register ...
proc_dir_entry '17/eth0' already registered

The fix is for sky2 to name the irq based on the pci device, as is done
by some other devices DRM, infiniband, ...  ie. sky2@pci:0000:00:00

415e69e657 skge: use unique IRQ name
Most network drivers request their IRQ when the interface is activated.
skge does it in ->probe() instead, because it can work with two-port
cards where the two net_devices use the same IRQ. This works fine most
of the time, except in some situations when the interface gets renamed.
Consider this example:

1. modprobe skge
   The card is detected as eth0 and requests IRQ 17. Directory
   /proc/irq/17/eth0 is created.
2. There is an udev rule which says this interface should be called
   eth1, so udev renames eth0 -> eth1.
3. modprobe 8139too
   The Realtek card is detected as eth0. It will be using IRQ 17 too.
4. ip link set eth0 up
   Now 8139too requests IRQ 17.

The result is:
WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:590 proc_register ...
proc_dir_entry '17/eth0' already registered
...
And "ls /proc/irq/17" shows two subdirectories, both called eth0.

Fix it by using a unique name for skge's IRQ, based on the PCI address.
The naming from the example then looks like this:
$ grep skge /proc/interrupts
 17:        169   IO-APIC-fasteoi   skge@pci:0000:00:0a.0, eth0

irqbalance daemon will have to be taught to recognize "skge@" as an
Ethernet interrupt. This will be a one-liner addition in classify.c. I
will send a patch to irqbalance if this change is accepted.
