bonding: Add new layer2+3 hash for xor/802.3ad modes

2007-12-07T20:00:32+00:00

 	Add new hash for balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Originally
 submitted by "Glenn Griffin" ; modified by
 Jay Vosburgh to move setting of hash policy out of line, tweak the
 documentation update and add version update to 3.2.2.

	Glenn's original comment follows:

Included is a patch for a new xmit_hash_policy for the bonding driver
that selects slaves based on MAC and IP information.  This is a middle
ground between what currently exists in the layer2 only policy and the
layer3+4 policy.  This policy strives to be fully 802.3ad compliant by
transmitting every packet of any particular flow over the same link.
As documented the layer3+4 policy is not fully compliant for extreme
cases such as ip fragmentation, so this policy is a nice compromise
for environments that require full compliance but desire more than the
layer2 only policy.

[NET]: Remove references to net-modules.txt.

2007-11-13T05:03:58+00:00

When I removed net-modules.txt because it only contained ancient
information I missed that many Kconfig entries pointed to this ancient
information.

[NET]: Document some simple rules for actions

2007-10-26T09:49:09+00:00

This patch adds documentation on what is expected of an
action which branches away from the action-graph or when it
needs to trample on actins. It also describes what is expected of
users of such actions.
