From ab4060e858e36129f9319ef0fa055347ad60e1d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 15:10:01 -0700 Subject: [BRIDGE]: fix race on bridge del if This fixes the RCU race on bridge delete interface. Basically, the network device has to be detached from the bridge in the first step (pre-RCU), rather than later. At that point, no more bridge traffic will come in, and the other code will not think that network device is part of a bridge. This should also fix the XEN test problems.
