Some time ago, I reported a calltrace issue
"did not find a suitable aggregator", please see[1].
After a period of analysis and reproduction, I find
that this problem is caused by concurrency.

Before the problem occurs, the bond structure is like follows:

bond0 - slaver0(eth0) - agg0.lag_ports -> port0 - port1
                      \
                        port0
      \
        slaver1(eth1) - agg1.lag_ports -> NULL
                      \
                        port1

If we run 'ifenslave bond0 -d eth1', the process is like below:

excuting __bond_release_one()
|
bond_upper_dev_unlink()[step1]
|                       |                       |
|                       |                       bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv()
|                       |                       ->bond_3ad_rx_indication()
|                       |                       spin_lock_bh()
|                       |                       ->ad_rx_machine()
|                       |                       ->__record_pdu()[step2]
|                       |                       spin_unlock_bh()
|                       |                       |
|                       bond_3ad_state_machine_handler()
|                       spin_lock_bh()
|                       ->ad_port_selection_logic()
|                       ->try to find free aggregator[step3]
|                       ->try to find suitable aggregator[step4]
|                       ->did not find a suitable aggregator[step5]
|                       spin_unlock_bh()
|                       |
|                       |
bond_3ad_unbind_slave() |
spin_lock_bh()
spin_unlock_bh()

step1: already removed slaver1(eth1) from list, but port1 remains
step2: receive a lacpdu and update port0
step3: port0 will be removed from agg0.lag_ports. The struct is
       "agg0.lag_ports -> port1" now, and agg0 is not free. At the
	   same time, slaver1/agg1 has been removed from the list by step1.
	   So we can't find a free aggregator now.
step4: can't find suitable aggregator because of step2
step5: cause a calltrace since port->aggregator is NULL

To solve this concurrency problem, the range of bond->mode_lock
is extended from only bond_3ad_unbind_slave() to both
bond_upper_dev_unlink() and bond_3ad_unbind_slave().

this calls netdev_upper_dev_unlink() which calls call_netdevice_notifiers_info() for
NETDEV_PRECHANGEUPPER and NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER, both of which are allowed to sleep so you
cannot hold the mode lock
	Indeed it does, I missed that the callbacks can sleep.
Yes, I missed that too.

after netdev_rx_handler_unregister() the bond's recv_probe cannot be executed
so you don't really need to unlink it under mode_lock or move mode_lock at all
	I don't think moving the call to netdev_rx_handler_unregister is
sufficient to close the race.  If it's moved above the call to
bond_upper_dev_unlink, the probe won't be called afterwards, but the
LACPDU could have arrived just prior to the unregister and changed the
port state in the bond_3ad_lacpdu_recv call sequence ("step 2",
something in the LACPDU causes AD_PORT_SELECTED to be cleared).  Later,
bond_3ad_state_machine_handler runs in a separate work queue context,
and could process the effect of the LACPDU after the rx_handler
unregister, and still race with the upper_dev_unlink.

	I suspect the solution is to rework ad_port_selection_logic to
correctly handle the situation where no aggregator is available.  Off
the top of my head, I think something along the lines of:

 	/* if all aggregator's ports are READY_N == TRUE, set ready=TRUE
	I've not compiled or tested this, but the theory is that it will
reselect a new aggregator for the bond (which happens anyway later in
the function), then returns, leaving "port" as not AD_PORT_SELECTED.
The next run of the state machine should attempt to select it again, and
presumably succeed at that time.

	This may leave the bond with no active ports for one interval
between runs of the state machine, unfortunately, but it should
eliminate the panic.

	Another possibility might be netdev_rx_handler_unregister, then
, and finally bond_upper_dev_unlink, but I'm not
sure right off if that would have other side effects.
This may cause "%s: Warning: Found an uninitialized port\n" to be
printed in bond_3ad_state_machine_handler(). But it doesn't matter.

In addition, I have analyzed the code in bond_3ad_unbind_slave().
Even if the slaver is not deleted from the list, the process is
not affected. This seems to work. Anyway, I will test it.
	Yufeng, would you be able to test the above and see if it
resolves the issue in your test?
Sure,I will test both these two solution and report then.

Thanks Nikolay and Jay for the comments.
