Subject: [patch net] mlxsw: spectrum_router: Avoid potential packets loss
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 08:55:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1488268540-1767-1-git-send-email-jiri@resnulli.us> (raw)
From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com>
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.
Fixes: 6b75c4807db3 ("mlxsw: spectrum_router: Add virtual router management")
