Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:27:28 -0500 (EST) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: amirv@...lanox.com Cc: ogerlitz@...lanox.com, yanb@...lanox.com, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v2 0/9] net/mlx4_en: Add support for unicast MAC filtering and FDB operations From: Amir Vadai <amirv@...lanox.com> Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2013 14:25:18 +0200 > This series from Yan Burman adds support for unicast MAC address filtering and > ndo FDB operations. It also includes some optimizations to loopback related > decisions and checks in the TX/RX fast path and one cleanup, all in separate > patches. > > Today, when adding macvlan devices, the NIC goes into promiscuous mode, since > unicast MAC filtering is not supported. With these changes, macvlan devices can > be added without the penalty of promiscuous mode. > > If for some reason adding a unicast address filter fails e.g as of missing space in > the HW mac table, the device forces itself into promiscuous mode (and out of this > forced state when enough space is available). > > Also, now it is possible to have bridge under multi-function configuration that include > PF and VFs. In order to use bridge over PF/VFs, VM MAC fdb entries must be added e.g. > using 'bridge fdb add' command.
