[PATCH 1/4] bridge: don't change packet type

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The change to forward STP bpdu's (for usermode STP) through normal path,
changed the packet type in the process. Since link local stuff is multicast, it
should stay pkt_type = PACKET_MULTICAST.  The code was probably copy/pasted
incorrectly from the bridge pseudo-device receive path.
