[3.11.y.z extended stable] Patch "neigh: recompute reachabletime before returning from" has been added to staging queue

[Luis Henriques]

This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    neigh: recompute reachabletime before returning from

to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable

Thanks.

Subject: neigh: recompute reachabletime before returning from
 neigh_periodic_work()

commit feff9ab2e7fa773b6a3965f77375fe89f7fd85cf upstream.

If the neigh table's entries is less than gc_thresh1, the function
will return directly, and the reachabletime will not be recompute,
so the reachabletime can be guessed.
