From 822973ba79fd5a5b711270c2de7196c6b50c6687 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 17:49:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: Do not call free_netdev for already registered device. If the call to bond_create_sysfs_entry in bond_create fails, the proper rollback is to call unregister_netdevice, not free_netdev. Otherwise - kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:4057! Checked with artificial failures injected into bond_create_sysfs_entry. Pavel's original patch modified by Jay Vosburgh to move code around for clarity (remove goto-hopping within the unwind block).
