I tried these patches on top of Linus' latest tree and still get
deadlocks.  Your line numbers might differ a bit, but you should be
seeing them too.

bonding: bond0: Removing slave eth4

[ now the system is hung ]

My suspicion from dealing with this problem in the past is that there is
contention over bond->lock.

Since there statements that will result in netconsole messages inside
the write_lock_bh in bond_release:

1882         write_lock_bh(&bond->lock);
1883 
1884         slave = bond_get_slave_by_dev(bond, slave_dev);
1885         if (!slave) {
1886                 /* not a slave of this bond */
1887                 pr_info("%s: %s not enslaved\n",
1888                         bond_dev->name, slave_dev->name);
1889                 write_unlock_bh(&bond->lock);
1890                 return -EINVAL;
1891         }
1892 
1893         if (!bond->params.fail_over_mac) {
1894                 if (!compare_ether_addr(bond_dev->dev_addr, slave->perm_hwaddr) &&
1895                     bond->slave_cnt > 1)
1896                         pr_warning("%s: Warning: the permanent HWaddr of %s - %pM - is still in use by %s.

we are getting stuck at 1986 since bond_xmit_roundrobin (in my case)
will try and acquire bond->lock for reading.

One valuable aspect netpoll_start_xmit routine was that is could be used
to check to be sure that bond->lock could be taken for writing.  This
made us sure that we were not in a call stack that has already taken the
lock and queuing the skb to be sent later would prevent the imminent
deadlock.

A way to prevent this is needed and a first-pass might be to do
something similar to what I below above for all the xmit routines.  I
confirmed the following patch prevents that deadlock:

# git diff drivers/net/bonding/

        if (!BOND_IS_OK(bond))
                goto out;

The kernel no longer hangs, but a new warning message shows up (over
netconsole even!):

to point out possible locking issues (probably in netpoll_send_skb) that
I would suggest you investigate further.  It may point to why we cannot
perform an:

# rmmod bonding

without the system deadlocking (even with my patch above).
