Potential and may? Have you seen it happen and have a trace?

How exactly would that happen? Queues get properly disabled before ndo_stop
is called.

I don't see how bond_close() can be called in parallel with bond_start_xmit.
Tx queues are disabled and there's a synchronize_rcu() before the device's
ndo_stop is called.
