The mentioned commit bit me amongst others, see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/21/62

In fact I expect the impact to be much lower this time around, before
4.10 DSA was no contender for swconfig (out of tree switch driver as
used by OpenWrt and others). On Mamba ~200Mbit was top speed. Now they
perform roughly the same.


Thanks
Ralph
