[PATCH net-next v2] bridge: fix hello and hold timers starting/stopping

From: Ivan Vecera <hidden>
Date: 2017-05-19 17:30:53
Also in: bridge
Subsystem: ethernet bridge, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Nikolay Aleksandrov, Ido Schimmel, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Current bridge code incorrectly handles starting/stopping of hello and
hold timers during STP enable/disable.

1. Timers are stopped in br_stp_start() during NO_STP->USER_STP
   transition. The timers are already stopped in NO_STP state so
   this is confusing no-op.

2. During USER_STP->NO_STP transition the timers are started. This
   does not make sense and is confusion because the timer should not be
   active in NO_STP state.
