The purpose of this patch is to disallow unloading bridge module if there is at least one bridge device.
We've had such a discussion before (a few years back I guess).
This causes various problems:
1. It deviates from upstream kernel behaviour which allows unloading the module (removing all existing bridge devices). There should be a good reason for such difference in behaviour and I don't find the reasoning in bsc#267651 convincing.
Well, both originally and when the second round of discussions happened, others seem to have agreed that the behavior the patch tries to fix is bad. That said, ...
Does anyone have a strong argument for keeping (and fixing) the patch?
... I don't mind the patch being dropped as long as it's not going to be me to have to deal with possible fallout. (After all it shouldn't have been me to try to deal with the problem back when the patch got created.)
