yes, I see the message, the list_del_rcu will make the slave->list 
->prev = LIST_POISON2,
the bond->slave_list will not be set to the messae, the prev will point 
a slave->list or itself,
so I think it will be ok here, please correct me if I miss something.

OK, clean it soon.

yes, the pos->list will be set to LIST_POISON2 by list_del_rcu, so I add 
a check for it, But
take the approach of eliminating bond_last/prev_slave completely is a 
wise decision, I agree.

yes, it is a little tedious. I think it could be more easier and shorter.

the only way to get out of the loop is that pos is NULL.

first, check whether the pos->next is the last one in the slave_list, if 
it does, get the
first slave of the bond->slave_list.

second, check whether the pos is reach the start, if not, continue, 
otherwise, the pos
will be set to NULL, so break the loop.
