Subject: oops during unregister_netdevice interface enslaved to bond -
	regression

Hi Octavian,

your commit 443457242beb6716b43db4d62fe148eab5515505 introduced this regression.
I have reviewed the net device unregister code but did not understand it very well.
I have seen the problem only in combination with bonding. Can you give me some help
how to go on with this problem. I can reproduced it very easy on a single CPU
machine.

Frank

The test is:
1) enslave netdevice to a bond
2) close the netdevice
3) hot unplug the netdevice

I bisect the problem down to 2.6.38 development. Commit introduced the problem is:

commit 443457242beb6716b43db4d62fe148eab5515505

    net: factorize sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many

    Add dev_close_many and dev_deactivate_many to factorize another
    sync-rcu operation on the netdevice unregister path.

    $ modprobe dummy numdummies=10000
    $ ip link set dev dummy* up
    $ time rmmod dummy

    Without the patch           With the patch

I don't know if this commit is bad or if it exposes a problem in the bonding code.
