From 8f5a394c32f8137f7ceb46180c775dd2e10da851 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Veaceslav Falico Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:43:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: remove already created master sysfs link on failure [ Upstream commit 9fe16b78ee17579cb4f333534cf7043e94c67024 ] If slave sysfs symlink failes to be created - we end up without removing the master sysfs symlink. Remove it in case of failure. Signed-off-by: Veaceslav Falico Signed-off-by: David S.
