Please read the link I sent you in relation to email formatting. Then add your description above in a way that anyone not 100% familiar with hyperv can understand it - that's what the commit log is for. You are sending this patch to stable kernels, patch above has been in the kernel from v4.14. The patch you are fixing since v4.11, you ought to be careful since you do not want to have broken kernel versions owing to stable patches mismatches, that's why I asked and I will ask again, are you sure you won't trigger a regression by sending this fix to stable ? I assume the bond driver mechanism is now done and dusted. That is correct. I have sent a v4 version of the patch. I am sending this patch for stable kernel. We have tested and I am sure this should not trigger regression by sending this fix to stable.
