[PATCH 4.14 01/70] bonding: fix event handling for stacked bonds

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Apr 24 2019 - 13:26:12 EST


From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 92480b3977fd3884649d404cbbaf839b70035699 ]

When a bond is enslaved to another bond, bond_netdev_event() only
handles the event as if the bond is a master, and skips treating the
bond as a slave.

This leads to a refcount leak on the slave, since we don't remove the
adjacency to its master and the master holds a reference on the slave.

Reproducer:
ip link add bondL type bond
ip link add bondU type bond
ip link set bondL master bondU
ip link del bondL

No "Fixes:" tag, this code is older than git history.
