Thread 210933 holds the rtnl_mutex and tries to acquire the kernfs_rwsem,
but there are many readers which hold the kernfs_rwsem, so it has to sleep
for a long time to wait the readers release the lock. Thread 278176 and any
other threads which call bonding_show_bonds() also need to wait because
they try to acquire the rtnl_mutex.
bonding_show_bonds() uses rtnl_mutex to protect the bond_list traversal.
However, the addition and deletion of bond_list are only performed in
bond_init()/bond_uninit(), so we can introduce a separate read-write lock
to synchronize bond list mutation.
What are the benefits of this change?
1) All threads which call bonding_show_bonds() only wait when the
registration or unregistration of bond device happens.
2) There are many other users of rtnl_mutex, so bonding_show_bonds()
won't compete with them.
In a word, this change reduces the lock contention of rtnl_mutex.

This unfortunately would race with dev_change_name()
You probably need to read_lock(&devnet_rename_sem); before copying dev->name,
or use netdev_get_name(net, temp_buffer, bond->dev->ifindex)

dev_change_name（）is either used in dev_ifsioc(case: SIOCSIFNAME) or used in do_setlink(), so
could these net devices which need to change name be related to bond？ I am not quite sure.

You can change a netdev name with
ip link set dev OLDNAME name NEWNAME
This is generic.

......
Thread 210933 holds the rtnl_mutex and tries to acquire the kernfs_rwsem,
but there are many readers which hold the kernfs_rwsem, so it has to sleep
for a long time to wait the readers release the lock. Thread 278176 and any
other threads which call bonding_show_bonds() also need to wait because
they try to acquire the rtnl_mutex.
bonding_show_bonds() uses rtnl_mutex to protect the bond_list traversal.
However, the addition and deletion of bond_list are only performed in
bond_init()/bond_uninit(), so we can introduce a separate read-write lock
to synchronize bond list mutation. In addition, bonding_show_bonds() could
race with dev_change_name(), so we need devnet_rename_sem to protect the
access to dev->name.
What are the benefits of this change?
1) All threads which call bonding_show_bonds() only wait when the
registration or unregistration of bond device happens or the name
of net device changes.
2) There are many other users of rtnl_mutex, so bonding_show_bonds()
won't compete with them.
In a word, this change reduces the lock contention of rtnl_mutex.
