syzbot managed to trigger a recursive NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event between bonding master and slave. I managed to find a reproducer for this: ip li set bond0 up ifenslave bond0 eth0 brctl addbr br0 ethtool -K eth0 lro off brctl addif br0 bond0 ip li set br0 up When a NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event is triggered on a bonding slave, it captures this and calls bond_compute_features() to fixup its master's and other slaves' features. However, when syncing with its lower devices by netdev_sync_lower_features() this event is triggered again on slaves when the LRO feature fails to change, so it goes back and forth recursively until the kernel stack is exhausted. Commit17b85d29e8intentionally lets __netdev_update_features() return -1 for such a failure case, so we have to just rely on the existing check inside netdev_sync_lower_features() and skip NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE event only for this specific failure case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
