Hi, David

I made tests on kernel 3.19-rc7.

1. brctl addbr br0

2. ifconfig br0 up

3. ifconfig br0 (br0's status is with 'RUNNING')

br0       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 0a:70:0b:06:34:8f
           inet6 addr: fe80::870:bff:fe06:348f/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:5054 (5.0 KB)

4. brctl addif br0 eth1

5. brctl delif br0 eth1

6. ifconfig br0 (br0's status is without 'RUNNING')

br0       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
           inet6 addr: fe80::870:bff:fe06:348f/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:328 errors:0 dropped:5 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:19 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:39997 (39.9 KB)  TX bytes:5760 (5.7 KB)

Please compare with the outputs of step 3 and step 6, we can find the 
difference.

uname:

Linux wind-virtual-machine 3.19.0-rc7 #2 SMP Wed Jan 28 18:36:44 CST 
2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So I think we should apply the latest patch to make consistent.

Any reply is appreciated.
