The bond_for_each_slave use in bonding_store_slaves_active() is not protected by any synchronization mechanism. NULL pointer dereference is easy to reach. Fixed by acquiring the bond->lock for the slave walk. v2: Make description text < 75 columns Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh Signed-off-by: David S.
