syzbot reported warning in default_device_exit_batch() like below [1]:

For bond devices which also has a master device, IFF_SLAVE flag is
cleared at err_undo_flags label in bond_enslave() if it is not
ARPHRD_ETHER type. In this case, __bond_release_one() is not called
when bond_netdev_event() received NETDEV_UNREGISTER event. This
causes the above warning.
This patch fixes this issue by setting IFF_SLAVE flag at
err_undo_flags label in bond_enslave() if the bond device has a master
device.
Fixes: 7d5cd2ce5292 ("bonding: correctly handle bonding type change on enslave failure")

Thank you so much for your comment! I understand your point, and agree that your approach must resolve the issue. BTW, do you mean there is a case where a device has IFF_SLAVE flag but the upper list is empty? I thought a device with IFF_SLAVE flag has a master device in the upper list (that is why I took the above way.)

It's the opposite actually, you may have an upper list but you don't have a "master" device or slave flag set. Yes, you can say that if a device has IFF_SLAVE set, then it must have a master upper device but that's not what you're checking for, you've reversed that logic to check for an upper device instead and assume there's a IFF_SLAVE flag set (which may not be true). For an upper device to be considered a "master" device, it must have the master bool set to true in its netdev_adjacent structure. We already have helpers to check for master devices and to retrieve them, e.g. check netdev_master_upper_dev_get* in net/core/dev.c The most robust way to fix it is to check if the flag was there prior to the ether_setup() call and restore it after, also to leave a nice comment about all of this. :) > Thanks, > Shigeru > Cheers, Nik ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I've now understand why my fix is not sufficient to check a master device. And, yes, the most robust and simple way to fix the issue is to check the flag before it is cleared.
