From 17120889b0706b69ae24cba3ef0a340dc3fb7edc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 13:21:34 -0700 Subject: [BRIDGE]: sysfs locking fix. The stp change code generates "sleeping function called from invalid context" because rtnl_lock() called with BH disabled. This fixes it by not acquiring then dropping the bridge lock.
