From 1c01fe14a87332cc88266fbd6e598319322eb96f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:30:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: forbid underlaying devices to change its type It's not desired for underlaying devices to change type. At the time, there is for example possible to have bond with changed type from Ethernet to Infiniband as a port of a bridge. This patch fixes this.
