Thank you for your reply. The last patch does have redundant update
slave arr.Thank you for your correction.
As you said, holding mode_lock in bond_update_slave_arr while
calling bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info can avoid conflictwith the state
machine. I have tested this patch, with ifdown/ifup operations for bond
or slaves.
But bond_update_slave_arr is expected to hold RTNL only and NO
other lock. And it have WARN_ON(lockdep_is_held(&bond->mode_lock)); in
bond_update_slave_arr. I'm not sure that holding mode_lock in
bond_update_slave_arr while calling bond_3ad_get_active_agg_info is a
correct action.
