[PATCH net v2] bonding: hold ops lock around get_link

From: Stanislav Fomichev
Date: Thu Apr 10 2025 - 12:11:42 EST


syzbot reports a case of ethtool_ops->get_link being called without
ops lock:

ethtool_op_get_link+0x15/0x60 net/ethtool/ioctl.c:63
bond_check_dev_link+0x1fb/0x4b0 drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:864

ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:245

Commit 04efcee6ef8d ("net: hold instance lock during NETDEV_CHANGE")
changed to lockless __linkwatch_sync_dev in ethtool_op_get_link.
All paths except bonding are coming via locked ioctl. Add necessary
locking to bonding.
