== SRU Justification ==
Stack corruption when trying to copy 20 bytes to a sockaddr.  The bug reporter
gets a panic after creating a bond with down/updelay and restart NIC driver.

Commit 1533e77315220dc1d5ec3bd6d9fe32e2aa0a74c0 fixes this issue and is in mainline
as of v4.8-rc1.  This comimt was alredy SRU'd to Xenial.  However, Trusty required
a backport of the commit.


== Fix ==
commit 1533e77315220dc1d5ec3bd6d9fe32e2aa0a74c0

    net/bonding: Enforce active-backup policy for IPoIB bonds

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
