Hm I tested it with iperf3 on 4 of 7 ports on this switch without
noticeable changes before and after this patch. My setup looks as
following:

----`
    |      /- iperf -s
    = port0
    |      \- iperf3 -c 172.17.0.11 -t 100
    |
    |
    = port1 ... same as port0, ... -c 172.17.0.10
    = port2 ... same as port0, ... -c 172.17.0.13
    = port3 ... same as port0, ... -c 172.17.0.12

Each port was sending and receiving. Each instance reported 938 Mbits/sec

Ok, thx. Will update the patch.
