[ Upstream commit 531705a765493655472c993627106e19f7e5a6d2 ] When following tests are performed, it will cause dev reference counting leakage. a)ip link add bond2 type bond mode balance-rr b)ip link set bond2 up c)ifenslave -f bond2 rose1 d)ip link del bond2 When new bond device is created, the default type of the bond device is ether. And the bond device is up, lapbeth_device_event() receives the message and creates a new lapbeth device. In this case, the reference count value of dev is hold once. But after "ifenslave -f bond2 rose1" command is executed, the type of the bond device is changed to rose. When the bond device is unregistered, lapbeth_device_event() will not put the dev reference count.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
