Hi,

please, review and apply to mm tree for further testing. The patch
is also available at
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/kernel-patches/bonding-workqueue.patch .

Thank you,
Jaroslav

==================
bonding: replace system timer with work queue

This patch replaces system timer with work queue in monitor functions.
The reason for this change is that bonding handlers calls various
sleeping functions from the timer handler which is not allowed.
Because we cannot share the main workqueue threads (rtnl_lock is used
also in linkwatch_event) - new bond workqueue thread is created.
