This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx5e: Lag, Only handle events from highest priority multipath entry to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-mlx5e-lag-only-handle-events-from-highest-priori.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit bfad8b39035884421662f6d34d1aed6043530e96 Author: Roi Dayan <roid@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Feb 16 13:56:57 2022 +0200 net/mlx5e: Lag, Only handle events from highest priority multipath entry [ Upstream commit ad11c4f1d8fd1f03639460e425a36f7fd0ea83f5 ] There could be multiple multipath entries but changing the port affinity for each one doesn't make much sense and there should be a default one. So only track the entry with lowest priority value. The commit doesn't affect existing users with a single entry.
