3.5.7.3 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> commit e196c0e579902f42cf72414461fb034e5a1ffbf7 upstream. Race between bonding_store_slaves_active() and slave manipulation functions. The bond_for_each_slave use in bonding_store_slaves_active() is not protected by any synchronization mechanism. NULL pointer dereference is easy to reach. Fixed by acquiring the bond->lock for the slave walk. v2: Make description text < 75 columns Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
