This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled resubmit bridge: fix message_age_timer calculation to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.12. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 1818891aae9fbb078afa5a47f31559a6df36de8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Healy <cphealy@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 21:37:47 -0700 Subject: resubmit bridge: fix message_age_timer calculation [ Upstream commit 9a0620133ccce9dd35c00a96405c8d80938c2cc0 ] This changes the message_age_timer calculation to use the BPDU's max age as opposed to the local bridge's max age. This is in accordance with section 8.6.2.3.2 Step 2 of the 802.1D-1998 sprecification. With the current implementation, when running with very large bridge diameters, convergance will not always occur even if a root bridge is configured to have a longer max age. Tested successfully on bridge diameters of ~200. Signed-off-by: Chris Healy <cphealy@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
