The action in bonding to a detach of slave is to unregister the master (see patch 10). This can't be done from the context of unregister_netdevice itself (it is protected by rtnl_lock). That's why I had to notify the detach before unregister begins. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
