Subject: [PATCH net-2.6 2/3] bonding: Change active slave quietly when bond is down

From: Ben Hutchings <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 18:19:56 +0000

bond_change_active_slave() may be called when a slave is added, even
if the bond has not been brought up yet.  It may then attempt to send
packets, and further it may use mcast_work which is uninitialised
before the bond is brought up.  Add the necessary checks for
netif_running(bond->dev).
