Ok, V2 of this patch, taking Stephens notes into account. Switched to using __dev_get_by_name to avoid reference count inc/dec. Fix a WARN_ON failure in bond_masters sysfs file Got a report of this warning recently bonding: bond0 is being created... ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:590 proc_register+0x14d/0x185() Hardware name: ProLiant BL465c G1 proc_dir_entry 'bonding/bond0' already registered Modules linked in: bonding ipv6 tg3 bnx2 shpchp amd64_edac_mod edac_core ipmi_si ipmi_msghandler serio_raw i2c_piix4 k8temp edac_mce_amd hpwdt microcode hpsa cc iss radeon ttm drm_kms_helper drm i2c_algo_bit i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wai t_scan] Pid: 935, comm: ifup-eth Not tainted 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8104b54c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x77/0x8f [<ffffffff8104b5b1>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x3c/0x3e [<ffffffff8114bf0b>] proc_register+0x14d/0x185 [<ffffffff8114c20c>] proc_create_data+0x87/0xa1 [<ffffffffa0211e9b>] bond_create_proc_entry+0x55/0x95 [bonding] [<ffffffffa0215e5d>] bond_init+0x95/0xd0 [bonding] [<ffffffff8138cd97>] register_netdevice+0xdd/0x29e [<ffffffffa021240b>] bond_create+0x8e/0xb8 [bonding] [<ffffffffa021c4be>] bonding_store_bonds+0xb3/0x1c1 [bonding] [<ffffffff812aec85>] class_attr_store+0x27/0x29 [<ffffffff8115423d>] sysfs_write_file+0x10f/0x14b [<ffffffff81101acf>] vfs_write+0xa9/0x106 [<ffffffff81101be2>] sys_write+0x45/0x69 [<ffffffff81009b02>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace a677c3f7f8b16b1e ]--- bonding: Bond creation failed. It happens because a user space writer to bond_master can try to register and already existing bond interface name. Fix it by teaching bond_create to check for the existance of devices with that name first in cases where a non-NULL name parameter has been passed in Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> bond_main.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
