From 59ccaaaa49b5b096cdc1f16706a9f931416b2332 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roopa Prabhu Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2015 16:23:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] bridge: dont send notification when skb->len == 0 in rtnl_bridge_notify Reported in: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92081 This patch avoids calling rtnl_notify if the device ndo_bridge_getlink handler does not return any bytes in the skb. Alternately, the skb->len check can be moved inside rtnl_notify. For the bridge vlan case described in 92081, there is also a fix needed in bridge driver to generate a proper notification. Will fix that in subsequent patch. v2: rebase patch on net tree Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
