Merge branch 'bond_neigh_parms'
Veaceslav Falico says: ==================== Recent patches revealed an old bug, which was there for quite awhile. It's related to vlan on top of bonding and ndo_neigh_setup(). When vlan device is initiated, it calls its real_dev->ndo_neigh_setup(), and in case of bonding - it will modify neigh_parms->neigh_setup to point to bond_neigh_init, while neigh_parms are of vlan's dev. This way, when neigh_parms->neigh_setup() of vlan's dev is called, the bonding function will be called, which expects the dev to be struct bonding, but will receive a vlan dev. It was hidden before because of bond->first_slave usage. Now, with Nikolay's conversion to list/RCU, first_slave is gone and we hit a null pointer dereference when working with lists/slave. First patch moves ndo_neigh_setup() in neigh_parms_alloc() to the bottom, so that the ->dev will be available to the caller. It doesn't really change anything, however is needed for the second patch. Second patch makes bond_neigh_setup() (bond->ndo_neigh_setup()) check if the neigh_parms are really from a bonding dev, and only modify the neigh_setup in this case. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
