=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
2.6.17-1.2600.fc6 #1
---------------------------------------------
ifconfig/2411 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&dev->_xmit_lock){-...}, at: [<ffffffff80429b9f>] dev_mc_add+0x45/0x15f

but task is already holding lock:
 (&dev->_xmit_lock){-...}, at: [<ffffffff80429b9f>] dev_mc_add+0x45/0x15f

other info that might help us debug this:
3 locks held by ifconfig/2411:
 #0:  (rtnl_mutex){--..}, at: [<ffffffff802664af>] mutex_lock+0x2a/0x2e
 #1:  (&dev->_xmit_lock){-...}, at: [<ffffffff80429b9f>] dev_mc_add+0x45/0x15f
 #2:  (&bond->lock){-.-+}, at: [<ffffffff8831b7f7>] bond_set_multicast_list+0x2c/0x26a [bonding]

The bonding driver nests other drivers, give the bonding driver its own
lock class.
