Subject: [RFC] bonding: fix workqueue re-arming races

Hi,

this is another attempt to solve the bonding workqueue re-arming
races.

The issue has been thoroughly discussed here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/146949 "[PATCH]
bonding: cancel_delayed_work() -> cancel_delayed_work_sync()"
However, the only outcome was a proposal for an ugly hack with
busy-waiting on the rtnl.

The problem:
Bonding uses delayed work that automatically re-arms itself,
e.g.: bond_mii_monitor().

A dev->close() quickly followed by dev->open() on the bonding
master has a race condition. bond_close() sets kill_timers=1 and
calls cancel_delayed_work(), hoping that bond_mii_monitor() will
not re-arm again anymore.  There are two problems with this:

- bond->kill_timers is not re-checked after re-acquiring the
  bond->lock (this would be easy to fix)

- bond_open() resets bond->kill_timers to 0. If this happens
  before bond_mii_monitor() notices the flag and exits, it will
  re-arm itself. bond_open() then tries to schedule the delayed
  work, which causes a BUG.

The issue would be solved by calling cancel_delayed_work_sync(),
but this can not be done from bond_close() since it is called
under rtnl and the delayed work locks rtnl itself.

My proposal is to move all the "commit" work that requires rtnl
to a separate work and schedule it on the bonding wq. Thus, the
re-arming work does not need rtnl and can be cancelled using
cancel_delayed_work_sync().

Comments?

[note, this does not deal with bond_loadbalance_arp_mon(), where
rtnl is now taken as well in net-next; I'll do this if you think
the idea is good ]
