From 4b44cbc7a2395229ab3e7b9165fc5dfee3145208 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Thu, 2 May 2013 14:23:28 +0000 Subject: bridge: fix race with topology change timer [ Upstream commit 83401eb4990ff6af55aeed8f49681558544192e6 ] A bridge should only send topology change notice if it is not the root bridge. It is possible for message age timer to elect itself as a new root bridge, and still have a topology change timer running but waiting for bridge lock on other CPU. Solve the race by checking if we are root bridge before continuing. This was the root cause of the cases where br_send_tcn_bpdu would OOPS.
