    net: bonding: Unsync device addresses on ndo_stop · 86247aba
    Benjamin Poirier authored
    Netdev drivers are expected to call dev_{uc,mc}_sync() in their
    ndo_set_rx_mode method and dev_{uc,mc}_unsync() in their ndo_stop method.
    This is mentioned in the kerneldoc for those dev_* functions.
    
    The bonding driver calls dev_{uc,mc}_unsync() during ndo_uninit instead of
    ndo_stop. This is ineffective because address lists (dev->{uc,mc}) have
    already been emptied in unregister_netdevice_many() before ndo_uninit is
    called. This mistake can result in addresses being leftover on former bond
    slaves after a bond has been deleted; see test_LAG_cleanup() in the last
    patch in this series.
    
    Add unsync calls, via bond_hw_addr_flush(), at their expected location,
    bond_close().
    Add dev_mc_add() call to bond_open() to match the above change.
    
    v3:
    * When adding or deleting a slave, only sync/unsync, add/del addresses if
      the bond is up. In other cases, it is taken care of at the right time by
      ndo_open/ndo_set_rx_mode/ndo_stop.
