Subject: bonding: do not acquire rtnl in ARP monitor
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=21c9d8d73dd1a152c49b4e3176193a099849d4c9;p=linux-beck.git

bonding: do not acquire rtnl in ARP monitor

	The ARP monitor functions currently acquire RTNL when performing
failover operations, but do so incorrectly (out of order).  This causes
various warnings from might_sleep.

	The ARP monitor isn't supported for any of the bonding modes
that actually require RTNL, so it is safe to not hold RTNL when
failing over in the ARP monitor.
