Subject: [ 02/47] bonding: fix race condition in bonding_store_slaves_active

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: "nikolay@...hat.com" <nikolay@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit e196c0e579902f42cf72414461fb034e5a1ffbf7 ]

Race between bonding_store_slaves_active() and slave manipulation
 functions. The bond_for_each_slave use in bonding_store_slaves_active()
 is not protected by any synchronization mechanism.
 NULL pointer dereference is easy to reach.
 Fixed by acquiring the bond->lock for the slave walk.

 v2: Make description text < 75 columns
