From ce39a800ea87c655de49af021c8b20ee323cb40d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Gospodarek Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:41:16 -0700 Subject: bonding: fix panic when taking bond interface down before removing module A panic was discovered with bonding when using mode 5 or 6 and trying to remove the slaves from the bond after the interface was taken down. When calling 'ifconfig bond0 down' the following happens: bond_close() bond_alb_deinitialize() tlb_deinitialize() kfree(bond_info->tx_hashtbl) bond_info->tx_hashtbl = NULL Unfortunately if there are still slaves in the bond, when removing the module the following happens: bonding_exit() bond_free_all() bond_release_all() bond_alb_deinit_slave() tlb_clear_slave() tx_hash_table = BOND_ALB_INFO(bond).tx_hashtbl u32 next_index = tx_hash_table[index].next As you might guess we panic when trying to access a few entries into the table that no longer exists. I experimented with several options (like moving the calls to tlb_deinitialize somewhere else), but it really makes the most sense to be part of the bond_close routine. It also didn't seem logical move tlb_clear_slave around too much, so the simplest option seems to add a check in tlb_clear_slave to make sure we haven't already wiped the tx_hashtbl away before searching for all the non-existent hash-table entries that used to point to the slave as the output interface.
