Date: Tue, 17 May 2022 02:25:46 +0000 From: lixue liang <lianglixue@...atwall.com.cn> To: jesse.brandeburg@...el.com, anthony.l.nguyen@...el.com, kuba@...nel.org, davem@...emloft.net, pabeni@...hat.com Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, lixue liang <lianglixue@...atwall.com.cn> Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] igb_main: Assign random MAC address instead of fail in case of invalid one In some cases, when the user uses igb_set_eeprom to modify the MAC address to be invalid, the igb driver will fail to load. If there is no network card device, the user must modify it to a valid MAC address by other means. Since the MAC address can be modified, then add a random valid MAC address to replace the invalid MAC address in the driver can be workable, it can continue to finish the loading, and output the relevant log reminder.
