This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled bridge: fix race with topology change timer 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 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 e42056419e11756ea979e538704bc1529cddfdfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> 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.
