For some netdevices, for which mlxsw offloads mirroring, may have a complex relationship between the declared intent and low-level device configuration. Trying to accurately track which changes might influence offloading decisions is finicky and error-prone. Instead, this patch introduces a function mlxsw_sp_span_entry_respin, which re-queries the configuration anew and, if different, removes the existing offloads and installs new ones. Call this function strategically at event handlers that might influence the mirroring configuration.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
