Subject: Re: [PATCH] bonding: move ipoib_header_ops to vmlinux

Hi David,

This is a real case not a potential crash. The call stack is like this:

Though the crash is not based on mainline code, mainline has the same issue.

I think Or Gerlitz answered the question "IPOIB should not work over 
bonding as it requires that the device use ARPHRD_ETHER.".

IPoIB devices can be enslaved to both bonding and teaming in their HA mode,
the bond device type becomes ARPHRD_INFINIBAND when this happens.

So, what information else do you need?

thanks,
wengang
