This whole thing is under rcu_read_lock() > + > + if (!netif_is_bond_master(master)) > + goto put; > + > + slave = rdma_get_xmit_slave_udp(device, master, ah_attr); IMHO it is probably better to keep with the dev_hold and drop the RCU while doing rdma_build_skb so that the allocation in here doesn't have to be atomic. This isn't performance sensitive so the extra atomic for the dev_hold is better than the unnecessary GFP_ATOMIC allocation > + if (!slave) { > + ibdev_warn(device, "Failed to get lag xmit slave\n"); > + err = -EINVAL; > + goto put; > + } > + > + dev_hold(slave); And I think the dev_hold should be in the rdma_get_xmit_slave_udp() as things called 'get' really ought to return with references.
