4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ddea788c63094f7c483783265563dd5b50052e28 ]
After Commit 8a8efa22f51b ("bonding: sync netpoll code with bridge"), it
would set slave_dev npinfo in slave_enable_netpoll when enslaving a dev
if bond->dev->npinfo was set.
However now slave_dev npinfo is set with bond->dev->npinfo before calling
slave_enable_netpoll. With slave_dev npinfo set, __netpoll_setup called
in slave_enable_netpoll will not call slave dev's .ndo_netpoll_setup().
It causes that the lower dev of this slave dev can't set its npinfo.
One way to reproduce it:
# modprobe bonding
# brctl addbr br0
# brctl addif br0 eth1
# ifconfig bond0 192.168.122.1/24 up
# ifenslave bond0 eth2
# systemctl restart netconsole
# ifenslave bond0 br0
# ifconfig eth2 down
# systemctl restart netconsole
The netpoll won't really work.
This patch is to remove that slave_dev npinfo setting in bond_enslave().
