Subject: [PATCH] bonding: fix error handling if slave is busy (v2)
Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:26:46 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111231152646.6f0f98fc@nehalam.linuxnetplumber.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4EFF3419.4050504@gmail.com>

If slave device already has a receive handler registered, then the
error unwind of bonding device enslave function is broken. 

The following will leave a pointer to freed memory in the slave
device list, causing a later kernel panic.
# modprobe dummy
# ip li add dummy0-1 link dummy0 type macvlan
# modprobe bonding
# echo +dummy0 >/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves

The fix is to detach the slave (which removes it from the list)
in the unwind path.

v2 - need to keep original err_close for other unwind
