Hi Andreas,

Don't prune master node in the hsr_prune_nodes function.
Neither time_in[HSR_PT_SLAVE_A], nor time_in[HSR_PT_SLAVE_B],
will ever be updated by hsr_register_frame_in for the master port.
Thus the master node will be repeatedly pruned leading to
repeated packet loss.
This bug never appeared because the hsr_prune_nodes function
was only called once. Since commit 5150b45fd355
("net: hsr: Fix node prune function for forget time expiry") this issue
is fixed unvealing the issue described above.

Thanks for the patch!

I have applied this at the tip of master branch and it has passed my
tests. See Test logs https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/hQ6JmfQmkz/

But few things to take care in the patch.

1) Whenever you send an updated patch, I believe you need to increment
the version number. So this should have been v2
2) As per Submitting patches, if a commit fixes another commit, need to
add a "Fixes " statement as per Documentation/process/submitting-
patches.rst

See below statements in the above documentation
======================================================================
If your patch fixes a bug in a specific commit, e.g. you found an
issue using ``git bisect``, please use the 'Fixes:' tag with the first
12 characters of the SHA-1 ID, and the one line summary. Do not split
the tag across multiple lines, tags are exempt from the "wrap at 75
columns" rule in order to simplify parsing scripts. For example::

Fixes: 54a4f0239f2e ("KVM: MMU: make kvm_mmu_zap_page() return
the number of pages it actually freed")
=======================================================================

So after fixing the above, you may add below for next revision.
