In VF lag mode when remove the bonding module without bring down the bond device first, we could potentially have circular dependency when we unload IB devices and also handle fib events: 1. The bond work starts first; 2. The "modprobe -rv bonding" process tries to release the bond device, with the "pernet_ops_rwsem" lock hold; 3. The bond work blocks in unregister_netdevice_notifier() and waits for the lock because fib event came right before; 4. The kernel fib module tries to free all the fib entries by broadcasting the "FIB_EVENT_NH_DEL" event; 5. Upon the fib event this lag_mp module holds the fib lock and queue a fib work. So: bond work -> modprobe task -> kernel fib module -> lag_mp -> bond work Today we either reload IB devices in roce lag in nic mode or either handle fib events in switchdev mode, but a new feature could change that we'll need to reload IB devices also in switchdev mode so this is a future proof fix as one may not notice this later.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
