Subject: mlxsw: spectrum_router: Correctly dump neighbour activity
From: Arkadi Sharshevsky <arkadis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 42cdb338f40a98e6558bae35456fe86b6e90e1ef ]
The device's neighbour table is periodically dumped in order to update
the kernel about active neighbours. A single dump session may span
multiple queries, until the response carries less records than requested
or when a record (can contain up to four neighbour entries) is not full.
Current code stops the session when the number of returned records is
zero, which can result in infinite loop in case of high packet rate.
Fix this by stopping the session according to the above logic.
