208What: Compaq touchscreen device emulation
209When: Oct 2007
210Files: drivers/input/tsdev.c
211Why: The code says it was obsolete when it was written in 2001.
212 tslib is a userspace library which does anything tsdev can do and
213 much more besides in userspace where this code belongs. There is no
214 longer any need for tsdev and applications should have converted to
215 use tslib by now.
216 The name "tsdev" is also extremely confusing and lots of people have
217 it loaded when they don't need/use it.

284fail_over_mac
285
286 Specifies whether active-backup mode should set all slaves to
287 the same MAC address (the traditional behavior), or, when
288 enabled, change the bond's MAC address when changing the
289 active interface (i.e., fail over the MAC address itself).
290
291 Fail over MAC is useful for devices that cannot ever alter
292 their MAC address, or for devices that refuse incoming
293 broadcasts with their own source MAC (which interferes with
294 the ARP monitor).
295
296 The down side of fail over MAC is that every device on the
297 network must be updated via gratuitous ARP, vs. just updating
298 a switch or set of switches (which often takes place for any
299 traffic, not just ARP traffic, if the switch snoops incoming
300 traffic to update its tables) for the traditional method. If
301 the gratuitous ARP is lost, communication may be disrupted.
302
303 When fail over MAC is used in conjuction with the mii monitor,
304 devices which assert link up prior to being able to actually
305 transmit and receive are particularly susecptible to loss of
306 the gratuitous ARP, and an appropriate updelay setting may be
307 required.
308
309 A value of 0 disables fail over MAC, and is the default. A
310 value of 1 enables fail over MAC. This option is enabled
311 automatically if the first slave added cannot change its MAC
312 address. This option may be modified via sysfs only when no
313 slaves are present in the bond.
314
315 This option was added in bonding version 3.2.0.
