[ Upstream commit dd912306ff008891c82cd9f63e8181e47a9cb2fb ] syzbot managed to trigger a recursive NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event between bonding master and slave. I managed to find a reproducer for this: ip li set bond0 up ifenslave bond0 eth0 brctl addbr br0 ethtool -K eth0 lro off brctl addif br0 bond0 ip li set br0 up When a NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event is triggered on a bonding slave, it captures this and calls bond_compute_features() to fixup its master's and other slaves' features. However, when syncing with its lower devices by netdev_sync_lower_features() this event is triggered again on slaves when the LRO feature fails to change, so it goes back and forth recursively until the kernel stack is exhausted. Commit 17b85d29e82c intentionally lets __netdev_update_features() return -1 for such a failure case, so we have to just rely on the existing check inside netdev_sync_lower_features() and skip NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event only for this specific failure case.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
