Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] lpm: fix overflow issue

[Igor Ryzhov <iryzhov@nfware.com>]

Hello again. Will anybody review this patch?
This is really critical issue, because it can lead to memory corruption and
break any program using LPM.

CCing this to Bruce Richardson, because he is maintainer of LPM.

Igor Ryzhov
