Then adding a non\nARPHRD_ETHER member forced the bonding master to change its type.\n\nThe fix is to make sure we call dev_close() in bond_setup_by_slave()\nso that the potential linked lapbether devices (or any other devices\nhaving assumptions on the physical device) are removed.\n\nA similar bug has been addressed in commit 40baec225765\n(\"bonding: fix panic on non-ARPHRD_ETHER enslave failure\")\n\n[1]\nskbuff: skb_under_panic: text:ffff800089508810 len:44 put:40 head:ffff0000c78e7c00 data:ffff0000c78e7bea tail:0x16 end:0x140 dev:bond0\nkernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:192 !\nInternal error: Oops -
