From: Haiyang Zhang Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 21:42:58 +0000 (-0800) Subject: staging: hv: Enable sending GARP packet after live migration X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7c161d0b900ea9bd9fc5ea5d3fa9916e9eb0dd88;p=linux-beck.git staging: hv: Enable sending GARP packet after live migration The hv_netvsc gets RNDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_CONNECT event after the VM is live migrated. Adding call to netif_notify_peers() for this event to send GARP (Gratuitous ARP) to notify network peers. Otherwise, the VM's network connection may stop after a live migration. This patch should also be applied to stable kernel 2.6.32 and later.
