Not at all, I'm really encouraged that this leak is fixed so quickly and neatly.
Now it isn't clear to me why I did not cut the possibility in half,
but I assumed that it was the drivers/net/team, and it wouldn't work
for me without the former.
They say that the assumption is the mother of all blunders :-)
I was lucky to choose the right entry function and the maintainers,
at least I hope so.
(Additionally, I saw that bond_enslave() is Jay and Andy's support, so
I added them to Cc:, if that's not a problem.)

I really couldn't tell.

Now it seems obvious. But I am not that deep into the bond and team drivers
to tell without your help.

This is expert insight. Looks all Greek to me.

This fix worked.
In case you submit a formal temporary patch, please add
Tested-by: Mirsad Goran Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
at your convenience.
The issue doesn't seem exploitable without proper privileges, but it is a nice fix
nevertheless.

Thank you once again for your patch and your quick response!
Please consider Cc:-ing me for testing the official patch in the original environment.
(Though it is a known HW, there might be BIOS update and fw issues.)
Best regards,
