My first goal was to see how bonding works with IPoIB slaves but I also tried it with Ethernet. Basically, what I see is that after a while commands like ifconfig or ip stucks. I only use sysfs to configure bonding (which also stucks after a while). After stripping the list of commits below from the code I see no problems. Does anybody else have the same problem? thanks MoniS commit d0e81b7e2246a41d068ecaf15aac9de570816d63 Author: Jay Vosburgh Date: Wed Oct 17 17:37:51 2007 -0700 bonding: Acquire correct locks in alb for promisc change -- commit 6603a6f25e4bca922a7dfbf0bf03072d98850176 Author: Jay Vosburgh Date: Wed Oct 17 17:37:50 2007 -0700 bonding: Convert more locks to _bh, acquire rtnl, for new locking -- commit 059fe7a578fba5bbb0fdc0365bfcf6218fa25eb0 Author: Jay Vosburgh Date: Wed Oct 17 17:37:49 2007 -0700 bonding: Convert locks to _bh, rework alb locking for new locking -- commit 0b0eef66419e9abe6fd62bc958ab7cd0a18f858e Author: Jay Vosburgh Date: Wed Oct 17 17:37:48 2007 -0700 bonding: Convert miimon to new locking -- commit cf5f9044934658dd3ffc628a60cd37c70f8168b1 Author: Jay Vosburgh Date: Wed Oct 17 17:37:47 2007 -0700 bonding: Convert balance-rr transmit to new locking -- commit 1b76b31693d4a6088dec104ff6a6ead54081a3c2 Author: Jay Vosburgh Date: Wed Oct 17 17:37:45 2007 -0700 Convert bonding timers to workqueues -- commit 3a4fa0a25da81600ea0bcd75692ae8ca6050d165 Author: Robert P.
