We can optimize the fdb convergence when a backup_port is present by not immediately flushing the entries of the stopped port since traffic for those entries will flow towards the backup_port. There are 2 cases specifically that benefit most: - when the stopped port comes up before the entries expire by themselves - when there's an external entry refresh and they're kept while the backup_port is operating (e.g. mlag) Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
