[PATCH 3.11 114/138] bridge: Handle IFLA_ADDRESS correctly when creating bridge device

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Tue Jun 03 2014 - 07:51:14 EST


3.11.10.11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Toshiaki Makita <makita.toshiaki@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 30313a3d5794472c3548d7288e306a5492030370 upstream.

When bridge device is created with IFLA_ADDRESS, we are not calling
br_stp_change_bridge_id(), which leads to incorrect local fdb
management and bridge id calculation, and prevents us from receiving
frames on the bridge device.
