+Subject: [PATCH] fib_trie: Fix trie balancing issue if new node pushes down
+ existing node
+
+This patch addresses an issue with the level compression of the fib_trie.
+Specifically in the case of adding a new leaf that triggers a new node to
+be added that takes the place of the old node.  The result is a trie where
+the 1 child tnode is on one side and one leaf is on the other which gives
+you a very deep trie.  Below is the script I used to generate a trie on
+dummy0 with a 10.X.X.X family of addresses.
+
+  ip link add type dummy
+  ipval=184549374
+  bit=2
+  for i in `seq 1 23`
+  do
+    ifconfig dummy0:$bit $ipval/8
+    ipval=`expr $ipval - $bit`
+    bit=`expr $bit \* 2`
+  done
+  cat /proc/net/fib_triestat
+
+Running the script before the patch:
+
+	Local:
+		Aver depth:     10.82
+		Max depth:      23
+		Leaves:         29
+		Prefixes:       30
+		Internal nodes: 27
+		  1: 26  2: 1
+		Pointers: 56
+	Null ptrs: 1
+	Total size: 5  kB
+
+After applying the patch and repeating:
+
+	Local:
+		Aver depth:     4.72
+		Max depth:      9
+		Leaves:         29
+		Prefixes:       30
+		Internal nodes: 12
+		  1: 3  2: 2  3: 7
+		Pointers: 70
+	Null ptrs: 30
+	Total size: 4  kB
+
+What this fix does is start the rebalance at the newly created tnode
+instead of at the parent tnode.  This way if there is a gap between the
+parent and the new node it doesn't prevent the new tnode from being
+coalesced with any pre-existing nodes that may have been pushed into one
+of the new nodes child branches.
