Hi Or,
A few questions below,

^^^^^^^^^^^
What if the struct slave where "slave" points to gets freed before this execution ?

^^^^^^^
What if the slave is released, enslaved to a different bond and the old bond is
destroyed between the dereference up there and the rtnl_lock() ?
Or the bonding gets unloaded altogether ?

^^^^^^^^
Where's this freed after the work's done ?
