That led to discrepancies between traffic\n> flows in slow path and fast path. The work-around used to be to remove\n> all routes that forward to the netdevice and re-add them. This is\n> clearly suboptimal, but actually, as of the decap-only patchset, it's\n> not even enough anymore, and one needs to go all the way and simply drop\n> the tunnel and recreate it correctly.\n> \n> With this patchset, the NETDEV_CHANGE events that are generated for\n> changes of up'd tunnel netdevices are captured and interpreted to\n> correctly reconfigure the HW in accordance with changes requested at the\n> software layer. In addition, NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER, NETDEV_UP and\n> NETDEV_DOWN are now handled not only for tunnel devices themselves, but\n> also for their bound devices.\n ...\n\nSeries applied, thanks Jiri.","headers":{"Return-Path":"","X-Original-To":"patchwork-incoming@ozlabs.org","Delivered-To":"patchwork-incoming@ozlabs.org","Authentication-Results":"ozlabs.org;\n\tspf=none (mailfrom) smtp.mailfrom=vger.kernel.org\n\t(client-ip=209.132.180.67; helo=vger.kernel.org;\n\tenvelope-from=netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org;\n\treceiver=)","Received":["from vger.kernel.org (vger.kernel.org [209.132.180.67])\n\tby ozlabs.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3yTK9h5zCJz9t1t\n\tfor ;\n\tSat, 4 Nov 2017 11:16:08 +1100 (AEDT)","(majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org via listexpand\n\tid S1755802AbdKDAQG (ORCPT );\n\tFri, 3 Nov 2017 20:16:06 -0400","from shards.monkeyblade.net ([184.105.139.130]:51666 \"EHLO\n\tshards.monkeyblade.net\" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org\n\twith ESMTP id S1754036AbdKDAQF (ORCPT\n\t); Fri, 3 Nov 2017 20:16:05 -0400","from localhost (unknown [61.40.109.130])\n\t(using TLSv1 with cipher AES256-SHA (256/256 bits))\n\t(Client did not present a certificate)\n\t(Authenticated sender: davem-davemloft)\n\tby shards.monkeyblade.net (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 8E5361046685A;\n\tFri, 3 Nov 2017 17:16:03 -0700 (PDT)"],"Date":"Sat, 04 Nov 2017 09:16:01 +0900 (KST)","Message-Id":"<20171104.091601.318452211446664943.davem@davemloft.net>","To":"jiri@resnulli.us","Cc":"netdev@vger.kernel.org, petrm@mellanox.com, idosch@mellanox.com,\n\tmlxsw@mellanox.com","Subject":"Re: [patch net-next 00/16] mlxsw: Handle changes in GRE\n\tconfiguration","From":"David Miller ","In-Reply-To":"<20171103090344.19444-1-jiri@resnulli.us>","References":"<20171103090344.19444-1-jiri@resnulli.us>","X-Mailer":"Mew version 6.7 on Emacs 25.3 / Mule 6.0 (HANACHIRUSATO)","Mime-Version":"1.0","Content-Type":"Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii","Content-Transfer-Encoding":"7bit","X-Greylist":"Sender succeeded SMTP AUTH, not delayed by\n\tmilter-greylist-4.5.12 (shards.monkeyblade.net\n\t[149.20.54.216]); Fri, 03 Nov 2017 17:16:05 -0700 (PDT)","Sender":"netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org","Precedence":"bulk","List-ID":"","X-Mailing-List":"netdev@vger.kernel.org"}}]
