[Bridge] [PATCH 3.2 01/06] "bridge should send gratuitous ARP to notify peer while a bond, which is a port of this bridge, changes."

[邢庆杰]

We create bond0 and add eth0&eth1 as slaves. Eth0 is active. Then we add
bond0
into br0 as a bridge port. Br0 has ip address. When eth0 is down, after
bond0's
failover eth1 become active. At this moment, we need br0 send a gratuitous
ARP
to notify peer to update ARP table.
