Subject: 2.6.27.18: bnx2/tg3: BUG: "scheduling while atomic" trying to
	ifenslave a second interface to my bond

Hi all; I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  I have
a Broadcom NetXen II BCM5708S network card (bnx2) and a Broadcom NetXen
5714S network card (tg3).  If I use either one by itself, it works fine.
However, I want to bond them as active-active, and I can't use mode=4
because there are other devices on the network which don't support it.
So, I create the bond interface with:

        # modprobe bonding mode=6 miimon=200 xmit_hash_policy=layer2
        
        Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.3.0 (June 10, 2008)
        bonding: xor_mode param is irrelevant in mode adaptive load balancing
        bonding: In ALB mode you might experience client disconnections upon reconnection of a link if the bonding module updelay parameter (0 msec) is incompatible with the forwarding delay time of the switch

This seems to work fine.  Then I bring up the interface with ifconfig
and I get:

        bond0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00  
                  inet addr:10.0.9.46  Bcast:10.0.15.255  Mask:255.255.240.0
                  UP BROADCAST MASTER MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
                  RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
                  TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
                  collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
                  RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Then I enslave one of my ethernet cards (it doesn't appear to matter
which one I enslave first), and that works fine as well:

        # ifenslave bond0 eth2
        bnx2: eth2: using MSI
        bonding: bond0: enslaving eth2 as an active interface with a down link.
        bnx2: eth2 NIC SerDes Link is Up, 1000 Mbps full duplex, receive & transmit flow control ON
        bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth2.
        bonding: bond0: making interface eth2 the new active one.
        bonding: bond0: first active interface up!
        
        # ifconfig eth2
        eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:06:72:00:01:01  
                  UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
                  RX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
                  TX packets:36 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
                  collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
                  RX bytes:696 (696.0 B)  TX bytes:2669 (2.6 KiB)
                  Interrupt:17 Memory:da000000-da012800 

I check bond0 and it's correctly inherited the MAC from this new
interface.  If I stop here I can just use this interface and everything
is great.  Similarly if I create a bond and only enslave the tg3
interface.  But of course, a bond with just one interface isn't doing
much for me :-)

As soon as I try to ifenslave the second interface, Badness Ensues:

        # ifenslave bond0 eth0

I've tried all kinds of things, as I alluded to above: switching the
order, adding sleeps (before invoking ifenslave etc.), bringing up the
slave interfaces before I enslave or not, power-cycling, etc. but
nothing seems to make a difference; as soon as I bond the second
interface the whole thing goes south.

In my googling I haven't found too much, but I did find this:

        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251902#c25

which is a comment added to a different bug.  Although the trace doesn't
match the original bug, it does resemble my trace (but I'm not using
Xen)  However, the Red Hat engineer (rightly) requested that a new bug
be filed for this and I haven't been able to find that new bug (if it
was ever filed).

I've also pulled the latest GIT tree and looked at the differences
between the drivers/net/bond/bond_alb.c but didn't see anything that
looked like it related to this (but, I'm not versed in the kernel code
so it's quite possible I missed it).  I checked differences between
bond_main.c etc. as well but, again, nothing jumped at me.  Since I'm
working on an embedded system it will be somewhat painful to try to
build the latest kernel to test in this environment, but I could do it
if someone believes that it might be fixed there.

Anyone have any thoughts about what might be going on, or what my next
steps should be?  I'm stumped :-(
