From c22d7ac844f1cb9c6a5fd20f89ebadc2feef891b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Gospodarek Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2010 09:50:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: prevent netpoll over bonded interfaces Support for netpoll over bonded interfaces was added here: commit f6dc31a85cd46a959bdd987adad14c3b645e03c1 Author: WANG Cong Date: Thu May 6 00:48:51 2010 -0700 bonding: make bonding support netpoll but it is bad enough that we should probably just disable netpoll over bonding until some of the locking logic in the bonding driver is changed or converted completely to RCU. Simple actions like changing the active slave in active-backup mode will hang the box if a high enough printk debugging level is enabled. Keeping the old code around will be good for anyone that wants to work on it (and for after the RCU conversion), so I propose this small patch rather than ripping it all out.
