    net/core: add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event · c1da4ac7
    Or Gerlitz authored
    Add NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER event to be used in a successive patch
    by bonding to announce fail-over for the active-backup mode through the
    netdev events notifier chain mechanism. Such an event can be of use for the
    RDMA CM (communication manager) to let native RDMA ULPs (eg NFS-RDMA, iSER)
    always be aligned with the IP stack, in the sense that they use the same
    ports/links as the stack does. More usages can be done to allow monitoring
    tools based on netlink events being aware to bonding fail-over.
