Hi all

I am trying to extend the Linux bridging functionaltiy by adding
support for RSTP and MSTP in the linux kernel and i want to implement
it as a linux kernel module. I would like to know whats that i ve to
take care of while implementing this functionlality especially with
respect to locks etc. I ve gone through the basic bridging code so any
suggestions on this implementation would be of real good help.

Thanks for your time

Cheers,
Balaji
