Hi,

I'd discussed the following with Serge Hallyn.

=> Environment based on 3.2.18 / x86_64 kernel.
=> WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:808 remove_proc_entry+0xdb/0x21f()
=> WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:849 remove_proc_entry+0x208/0x21f()


network namespace and bonding
-----------------------------

* Migrate two phy nics from host to netns (netns0).
  - ip link set ethX netns netns0

* In host environment:
  - load bonding module, /sbin/modprobe -v bonding mode=1 miimon=100
  - /sys/class/net/bond0 exists.
  - /proc/net/bonding/bond0 exists.
  - /sys/class/net/bonding_masters has bond0.

* Migrate bond0 to netns (netns0):
  - ip link set bond0 netns netns0.

* Within netns (netns0):
  - /sys/class/net/bonding_masters is empty.
  - /sys/class/net/bond0 exist.
  - configure bond0 and ifenslave with two phy nics.
  - /proc/net/bonding/bond0 does not exist within netns0, but does
    exist in the host environment.
  - /sys/class/net/bonding_masters is empty.
  - ping to remote end of bond0 works.

* Within netns (netns0), flushing ethX and bondY:
  - down bond0 and its phy nic interfaces:
  - ip link set ... down
  - ip addr flush dev [bond0 | eth#]
  - deleting bond0, /sbin/ip link del dev bond0

  produced splat #1

   - bonding module is removed
   - /sys/class/net/bonding_masters no longer exists in netns and host.



Workaround
----------

* Migrate two phy nics from host to netns (netns0).
  - ip link set ethX netns netns0

* Within netns (netns0):
  - Load bonding module, modprobe -v bonding mode=1 miimon=100
primary=eth6
  - /sys/class/net/bonding_masters exists.
  - create bond0, ip link add dev bond0 type bond.
  - /sys/class/net/bonding_masters contains bond0.
  - ifenslave both ethX to bond0.
  - /proc/net/bonding/bond0 exists.
  - ping on bond0 to remote works.

* Within netns (netns0), flushing ethX and bondY:
  - ip link set ethX/bond0 down
  - ip addr flush dev ethX/bond0
  - Deleting bond0 and removing bonding module works as follows:
     ip link del dev bond0
     modprobe -v -r bonding
     => No splat #1 or #2.
