nit, If the last detached port happens to have the same addr as random_init_addr, this seems to call br_stp_change_bridge_id() even though bridge_id is not changed.
Ah good point.
Shouldn't the assignment of random_init_addr be done before the check of "no change"?
Good question, should we even allow two ports to have the same MAC address or should we complain and refuse to add it? If so that should mean we should also have to monitor any manual address changes or events for address changes on the ports. Stephen? Luis
