From: "Williams, Mitch A" The patch below fixes a problem with shutting down 802.3ad bonds on the 2.6 kernel. Taking the interface down or removing the module causes a stack dump if spinlock debugging is enabled. This patch was generated from the 2.6.9 kernel. This patch has been peer reviewed by our Linux software engineering team, and the fix has been verified by our test labs.
