Subject: PROBLEM: bonding status file in /proc not removed when using
 bond-device as a slave

Hi everyone,

I want to create a master-backup bond that has two LACP bonds as slaves. Both
LACP slaves should be connected to different switches so that I have
connectivity even if one switch fails.
While experimenting with this setup on the recent LTS kernel 3.14.26 I have found the following behaviour:
When I add a bond device (by default an LACP bond, mode 4) to a master-backup
bond (mode 1) and then remove it, the corresponding status file for the bond remains in
/proc/net/bonding/ and when I do a cat on this file, the machine crashes or I get a
general protection fault.

The following snippet creates such a scenario:

#!/bin/bash
echo +bond1 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/mode
echo +bond2 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
echo +bond2 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/slaves
echo -bond2 > /sys/class/net/bond1/bonding/slaves
echo -bond2 > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters

After this is executed, the file /proc/net/bonding/bond2 still exists
while /sys/class/net/bonding_masters only shows bond1:

> ls -lah /proc/net/bonding/bond*
r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec  8 16:53 /proc/net/bonding/bond1
r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec  8 16:53 /proc/net/bonding/bond2

> cat /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
bond1

When I now make a "cat" on the file in /proc, I get a general protection fault
or even worse, the machine just crashes and is unresponsive and it can only be
fixed with a power-cycle.

The bonding module is loaded with the following options:
