[PATCH 0/8] bonding support v2

[Thomas Graf <tgraf redhat com>]

This is the second iteration of initial bonding support in NM with
all comments addressed (I hope).

Requires libnl-3.2.1

Details
  o both master and slaves require a ifcfg file:
     o master:
         TYPE=bond
         DEVICE=bond3
         BONDING_OPTS="mode=..."
     o slaves:
         TYPE=Ethernet
         MASTER=bond3

  o both master and slaves will have their own connection, creation
    of a new master connection of type "bond" trigger creation of
    virtual in-kernel interface if it does not exist yet.

  o activation of slaves is postponed until a connection is present
    with matching DEVICE= config

  o slave connections are enforced to not have any ip configuration or
    that ip configuration is disabled.

  o upon activation of slave, slave is enslaved to master using libnl3
    or if kernel does not support it yet, using ioctl()

  o There is no NMDeviceBond, NMDeviceEthernet is reused since a bond
    is basically an ethernet device. Good idea?

  o "master" property of all slaves return "bond0", "bond3", ...

Several bits are still missing:

  o Setting of bonding parameters is not implemented yet.
  o The bond connection does not wait with ip config until all
    slaves have activated yet. Not sure how to implement this
    properly yet.
  o "slaves" property still missing
  o Naming of slave connections to display their relationship to
    a slave.


Thomas Graf (8):
  bonding: settings parser for ifcfg plugin + NMSettingBond class
  connection: Add nm_connection_is_type()
  bonding: kernel bonding device creation
  bonding: Detect virtual bonding devices and create an ethernet device
  bonding: Implement bonding slaves
  bonding: Postpone auto-activation of a slave until master is present
  bonding: Enslave/release bonding slaves in activation/deactivation
  bonding: Do not fall back to DHCP if no ip config is present if
    connection is a bond
