+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.
