bonding: Fix broken promiscuity reference counting issue
Recently grabbed this report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005567 Of an issue in which the bonding driver, with an attached vlan encountered the following errors when bond0 was taken down and back up: dummy1: promiscuity touches roof, set promiscuity failed. promiscuity feature of device might be broken. The error occurs because, during __bond_release_one, if we release our last slave, we take on a random mac address and issue a NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification. With an attached vlan, the vlan may see that the vlan and bond mac address were in sync, but no longer are. This triggers a call to dev_uc_add and dev_set_rx_mode, which enables IFF_PROMISC on the bond device. Then, when we complete __bond_release_one, we use the current state of the bond flags to determine if we should decrement the promiscuity of the releasing slave. But since the bond changed promiscuity state during the release operation, we incorrectly decrement the slave promisc count when it wasn't in promiscuous mode to begin with, causing the above error Fix is pretty simple, just cache the bonding flags at the start of the function and use those when determining the need to set promiscuity. This is also needed for the ALLMULTI flag CC: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com> CC: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> CC: Mark Wu <wudxw@linux.vnet.ibm.com> CC: "David S.
