Subject: [PATCH] bonding: ban stacked bonding support

Does Linux support it at all?

In short: if you add bonding master as a slave, and then release it,
it will no longer be a IFF_BONDING creating problems like described at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89541

	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

	cat /proc/net/bonding/bond2		# should not exist
		[oops]
