Jay Vosburgh 5af47b2ff1 [PATCH] bonding: UPDATED hash-table corruption in bond_alb.c
I believe I see the race Michael refers to (tlb_choose_channel
may set head, which tlb_init_slave clears), although I was not able to
reproduce it.  I have updated his patch for the current netdev-2.6.git
tree and added a version update.  His original comment follows:

Our systems have been crashing during testing of PCI HotPlug
support in the various networking components.  We've faulted in
the bonding driver due to a bug in bond_alb.c:tlb_clear_slave()

In that routine, the last modification to the TLB hash table is
made without protection of the lock, allowing a race that can lead
tlb_choose_channel() to select an invalid table element.
