Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 0/3] bonding,ipv4,ipv6,vlan: Use notifiers to
 trigger advertisements on failover

It is undesirable for the bonding driver to be poking into higher
level protocols, and notifiers provide a way to avoid that.

Ian added NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS to trigger gratuitous ARP on VM migration.
We should extend that to unsolicited NAs and propagate it through VLANs,
then treat bonding failover in the same way.

Ben.

Ben Hutchings (3):
  ipv6: Send unsolicited neighbour advertisements when notified
  vlan: Propagate NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS notifier
  bonding,ipv4,ipv6,vlan: Handle NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER like
    NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS
