Paolo Abeni 19cdead3e2 bonding: avoid defaulting hard_header_len to ETH_HLEN on slave removal
On slave list updates, the bonding driver computes its hard_header_len
as the maximum of all enslaved devices's hard_header_len.
If the slave list is empty, e.g. on last enslaved device removal,
ETH_HLEN is used.

Since the bonding header_ops are set only when the first enslaved
device is attached, the above can lead to header_ops->create()
being called with the wrong skb headroom in place.

If bond0 is configured on top of ipoib devices, with the
following commands:

ifup bond0
for slave in $BOND_SLAVES_LIST; do
	ip link set dev $slave nomaster
done
ping -c 1 <ip on bond0 subnet>

we will obtain a skb_under_panic() with a similar call trace:
	skb_push+0x3d/0x40
	push_pseudo_header+0x17/0x30 [ib_ipoib]
	ipoib_hard_header+0x4e/0x80 [ib_ipoib]
	arp_create+0x12f/0x220
	arp_send_dst.part.19+0x28/0x50
	arp_solicit+0x115/0x290
	neigh_probe+0x4d/0x70
	__neigh_event_send+0xa7/0x230
	neigh_resolve_output+0x12e/0x1c0
	ip_finish_output2+0x14b/0x390
	ip_finish_output+0x136/0x1e0
	ip_output+0x76/0xe0
	ip_local_out+0x35/0x40
	ip_send_skb+0x19/0x40
	ip_push_pending_frames+0x33/0x40
	raw_sendmsg+0x7d3/0xb50
	inet_sendmsg+0x31/0xb0
	sock_sendmsg+0x38/0x50
	SYSC_sendto+0x102/0x190
	SyS_sendto+0xe/0x10
	do_syscall_64+0x67/0x180
	entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25

This change addresses the issue avoiding updating the bonding device
hard_header_len when the slaves list become empty, forbidding to
shrink it below the value used by header_ops->create().

The bug is there since commit 54ef313714 ("[PATCH] bonding: Handle large
hard_header_len") but the panic can be triggered only since
commit fc791b6335 ("IB/ipoib: move back IB LL address into the hard
header").

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
