In commit
1c5cae815d19 (net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice),
a bug of bonding was involved, see example 1 and 2.
In register_netdevice(), the name of net_device is not valid until
dev_get_valid_name() is called. But dev->netdev_ops->ndo_init(that is
bond_init) is called before dev_get_valid_name(),
and it uses the invalid name of net_device.
I think register_netdevice() should make sure that the name of net_device is
valid before calling ndo_init().
example 1:
modprobe bonding
ls /proc/net/bonding/bond%d
ps -eLf
root 3398 2 3398 0 1 21:34 ? 00:00:00 [bond%d]
example 2:
modprobe bonding max_bonds=3
