[PATCH 4.8 31/45] ipv4: Restore fib_trie_flush_external function and fix call ordering

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 09 2016 - 11:27:07 EST


4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 3b7093346b326e5d3590c7d49f6aefe6fa5b2c9a, the FIB offload
removal didn't occur in 4.8 so that part of this patch isn't here. However
we still need to fib_unmerge() bits. ]

The patch that removed the FIB offload infrastructure was a bit too
aggressive and also removed code needed to clean up us splitting the table
if additional rules were added. Specifically the function
fib_trie_flush_external was called at the end of a new rule being added to
flush the foreign trie entries from the main trie.

I updated the code so that we only call fib_trie_flush_external on the main
table so that we flush the entries for local from main. This way we don't
call it for every rule change which is what was happening previously.
