This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx5: Consider tx_enabled in all modes on remap to the 4.9-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-mlx5-consider-tx_enabled-in-all-modes-on-remap.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 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 Tue Aug 8 16:27:53 PDT 2017 From: Aviv Heller <avivh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2017 19:13:43 +0300 Subject: net/mlx5: Consider tx_enabled in all modes on remap From: Aviv Heller <avivh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit dc798b4cc0f2a06e7ad7d522403de274b86a0a6f ] The tx_enabled lag event field is used to determine whether a slave is active. Current logic uses this value only if the mode is active-backup. However, LACP mode, although considered a load balancing mode, can mark a slave as inactive in certain situations (e.g., LACP timeout). This fix takes the tx_enabled value into account when remapping, with no respect to the LAG mode (this should not affect the behavior in XOR mode, since in this mode both slaves are marked as active).
