This patch implements transparent fail over from synthetic NIC to SR-IOV virtual function NIC in Hyper-V environment. It is a better alternative to using bonding as is done now. Instead, the receive and transmit fail over is done internally inside the driver. Using bonding driver has lots of issues because it depends on the script being run early enough in the boot process and with sufficient information to make the association. This patch moves all that functionality into the kernel. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
