[Linux-ha-dev] ping vs. ping_group

[David Lee]

I've recently had a look inside "ping.c" and "ping_group.c".  It wasn't a
great surprise to find some commonality.  I guess one was derived from
other.  It means that we've got considerable code duplication, potential
unnecessary divergence and potential "one-but-miss-the-other" bugfixes).

Might it be worth attempting to merge them into a more-or-less common
codebase?  If you think this is worth investigating, then it's probably
something I could look at, low priority, in the coming months.
