From aeb073241fe7a2b932e04e20c60e47718332877f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikolay Aleksandrov Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 18:07:55 +0300 Subject: net: bridge: start hello timer only if device is up When the transition of NO_STP -> KERNEL_STP was fixed by always calling mod_timer in br_stp_start, it introduced a new regression which causes the timer to be armed even when the bridge is down, and since we stop the timers in its ndo_stop() function, they never get disabled if the device is destroyed before it's upped. To reproduce: $ while :; do ip l add br0 type bridge hello_time 100; brctl stp br0 on; ip l del br0; done; CC: Xin Long CC: Ivan Vecera CC: Sebastian Ott Reported-by: Sebastian Ott Fixes: 6d18c732b95c ("bridge: start hello_timer when enabling KERNEL_STP in br_stp_start") Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov Signed-off-by: David S.
