[ 152/173] bonding: fix race condition in bonding_store_slaves_active

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>

Subsystem: bonding driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jay Vosburgh, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "nikolay@redhat.com" <redacted>

[ Upstream commit e196c0e579902f42cf72414461fb034e5a1ffbf7 ]

Race between bonding_store_slaves_active() and slave manipulation
 functions. 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
