I just sent patches where MAINTAINERS file told me to send it. ;) No, I'm not relying on STP. I think setting learning->forwarding delay to 0 could cause problems with STP like loops until the loop is detected. There may be a better spot where to insert the notification that the bridge is forwarding data, though I'm not exactly certain where. The patch will cause bridge to issue NETDEV_CHANGE notification for all topology changes. This may or may not be useful but shouldn't be harmful (I can't imagine these occur very often?) The IPv6 autoconf patch will only act on this if it doesn't have IPv6 address configured manually or via autoconf. -- Adam Majer adamm@xxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
