    bonding: check error value of register_netdevice() immediately · 544f287b
    Taehee Yoo authored
    If register_netdevice() is failed, net_device should not be used
    because variables are uninitialized or freed.
    So, the routine should be stopped immediately.
    But, bond_create() doesn't check return value of register_netdevice()
    immediately. That will result in a panic because of using uninitialized
    or freed memory.
    
    Test commands:
        modprobe netdev-notifier-error-inject
        echo -22 > /sys/kernel/debug/notifier-error-inject/netdev/\
    actions/NETDEV_REGISTER/error
        modprobe bonding max_bonds=3
    
    Splat looks like:
