Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2012 23:51:57 -0700 From: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@...el.com> To: jhs@...atatu.com, shemminger@...tta.com, bhutchings@...arflare.com, roprabhu@...co.com, davem@...emloft.net, jeffrey.t.kirsher@...el.com Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, mst@...hat.com, chrisw@...hat.com, gregory.v.rose@...el.com, kvm@...r.kernel.org, sri@...ibm.com, chealy@...co-us.com Subject: [net-next PATCH v0 2/5] net: addr_list: add exclusive dev_uc_add This adds a dev_uc_add_excl() call similar to the original dev_uc_add() except it sets the global bit. With this change the reference count will not be bumped and -EEXIST will be returned if a duplicate address exists. This is useful for drivers that support SR-IOV and want to manage the unicast lists.
