Subject: [PATCH -net 1/2] bonding: fix store_arp_validate race with mode change
Date: Fri,  6 Sep 2013 21:41:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1378496518-16104-2-git-send-email-nikolay@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1378496518-16104-1-git-send-email-nikolay@redhat.com>

We need to protect store_arp_validate via rtnl because it can race with
mode changing and we can end up having arp_validate set in a mode
different from active-backup.
