This patch introduces a regression by boot-test with active backup mode:
bond_activebackup_arp_mon() is already not holding the bond->lock, however
it might call bond_change_active_slave(), which does (in case of new_active):
912 write_unlock_bh(&bond->curr_slave_lock);
913 read_unlock(&bond->lock);
914
915 call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_BONDING_FAILOVER, bond->dev);
916 if (should_notify_peers)
917 call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS,
918 bond->dev);
919
920 read_lock(&bond->lock);
921 write_lock_bh(&bond->curr_slave_lock);
so it drops the bond->lock (which wasn't taken previously), and then takes
it (without anyone dropping it afterwards).
I don't know how to fix it - cause a lot of other callers already take it,
and we can't just drop them (we'd race), and we can't remove it here (cause
we can't call notifiers while atomic).
Which begs the question - was this patchset tested at all?
