Subject: Re: [oops] with FIB_TRIE [PATCH]


 Hi,

Andrei Popa:

 It seems we can fix this by disabling preemption while we re-balance the 
 trie. This is with the CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU. It's been stress-tested at high 
 loads continuesly taking a full BGP table up/down via iproute -batch.
 A patch is below.

 Note. fib_trie is not updated for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU
 
 Cheers
