As previously explained, each port whose outgoing traffic is analyzed needs to have an egress mirror buffer. The size of the egress mirror buffer is calculated based on various parameters, two of which are the speed and the MTU of the port. Therefore, when the MTU or the speed of a port change, the SPAN code is called to see if the egress mirror buffer of the port needs to be adjusted. Currently, this is done by traversing all the SPAN agents and for each SPAN agent the list of bound ports is traversed. Instead of the above, traverse the recently added list of analyzed ports. This will later allow us to remove the old SPAN API. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
