3.6.11.2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fcd99434fb5c137274d2e15dd2a6a7455f0f29ff ] Now that netdev_rx_handler_unregister contains synchronize_net(), we need to call it outside of bond->lock, cause it might sleep. Also, remove the already unneded synchronize_net(). Signed-off-by: Veaceslav Falico <vfalico@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
