bonding driver issue

Post by pkking » 2015/08/04 14:03:01

Hi, everyone.

In my Centos 6.4 with kernel version 2.6.32-220, recently i found the driver do not remove the IFF_BONDING flag after rmmod.

But i trace the code and found the function bond_release_all just remove three flags such as IFF_MASTER_8023AD, IFF_MASTER_ALB, IFF_SLAVE_INACTIVE

while the function bond_release will remove the flag IFF_BONDING and IFF_SLAVE_NEEDARP instead which means the dev were not bonding device any more.

Is this a BUG in kernel 2.6.32 because it seems not happened in suse11 sp3 because its kernel version is 3.0.xx.

Any suggestions are appreciated !! :D

CentOS 6.4 is old and unsupported.
Run "yum update" to update to the current 6.6 kernel and software.
6.7 is just around the corner.
You are running with over a years worth of critical security issues.

Thanks the advice, i update the kernel to 2.6.32-504 just now.

But the function of bond_release_all in bond_main.c seem to be the same as 2.6.32-220. :cry:
