Subject: [Bugme-new] [Bug 5080] New: bonding related oops on boot


http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5080

           Summary: bonding related oops on boot
    Kernel Version: 2.6.13-rc6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: acme@conectiva.com.br
         Submitter: stefan@avedya.com


Distribution: debian pure64
Hardware Environment: 4 way x86_64
Software Environment: linux 2.6.12, 2.6.13-rc6 
Problem Description:

I have a bond with two slave interfaces, both connected.

On boot, when the bond gets initialized, I get the following oops:

The bond has the following options:
 options bonding mode=6 miimon=100 updelay=15000 max_bonds=2

I know this doesn't appear with 2.6.11.12, and that it did in a 2.6.12, although
I don't know which precisely :(

I'll attach my .config

Steps to reproduce: just boot :p

Yes this is a known problem.  The MAC address manipulations need to
be moved to process context and put under the protection of the RTNL.

Jay, have you had any luck in rewriting this stuff?

Thanks,

	Some; I've been working on it over time since we discussed it
last time, and have gone through a couple of prototypes that didn't work
out.  I think I've got an overall reworking of things (link monitoring,
that yucky ioctl call thing, enslave, deslave, change active, linkwatch)
that will permit the needed locking rearrangement.  If all else stays
calm, I was planning to float some test patches hopefully next week
(among other things, I need to merge up to the current mainline).

	I hadn't seen that particular RTNL assert failure before, but
the s390 qeth driver hits this problem as well because it (like the USB
drivers) can sleep in places that most PCI drivers don't.

Sounds good.

The RTNL assertion failure is due to the CHANGEADDR notification which
was added around the end of May.

Cheers,

FYI, this is still here

Any update on this problem, is the bug still present in 2.6.22+?
Thanks.

Please reopen this bug if it's still present with kernel 2.6.22.
