This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled mlxsw: spectrum_router: Avoid potential packets loss to the 4.10-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: mlxsw-spectrum_router-avoid-potential-packets-loss.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Sat Mar 18 22:03:53 CST 2017 From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 08:55:40 +0100 Subject: mlxsw: spectrum_router: Avoid potential packets loss From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f7df4923fa986247e93ec2cdff5ca168fff14dcf ] When the structure of the LPM tree changes (f.e., due to the addition of a new prefix), we unbind the old tree and then bind the new one. This may result in temporary packet loss. Instead, overwrite the old binding with the new one.
