2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Alex Williamson [ Upstream commit cfbf84fcbcda98bb91ada683a8dc8e6901a83ebd ] Tap devices can make use of a small MAC filter set via the TUNSETTXFILTER ioctl. The filter has a set of exact matches plus a hash for imperfect filtering of additional multicast addresses. The current code is unbalanced, adding unicast addresses to the multicast hash, but only checking the hash against multicast addresses. This results in the filter dropping unicast addresses that overflow the exact filter. The fix is simply to disable the filter by leaving count set to zero if we find non-multicast addresses after the exact match table is filled. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson Signed-off-by: David S.
