Package: ifenslave
Version: 2.9
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Bonding driver 3.7.1 and later supports an option called
"tlb_dynamic_lb" for "balance-tlb" mode, but there is no support for
setting it in the /etc/network/interfaces file. This patch adds support
for that.
With this patch, adding "bond-tlb_dynamic_lb 0" to the interfaces file
correctly shows "bond0: Setting dynamic-lb to off (0)" in logs, and
correctly sets the value of
"/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/tlb_dynamic_lb".
