Disabling multicast filtering from NCSI if it is supported. As it
should not filter any multicast packets. In current code, multicast
filter is enabled and with an exception of optional field supported
by device are disabled filtering.

Mainly I see if goal is to disable filtering for IPV6 packets then let
it disabled for every other types as well. As we are seeing issues with
LLDP not working with this enabled filtering. And there are other issues
with IPV6.

By Disabling this multicast completely, it is working for both IPV6 as
well as LLDP.

Hi Vijay,

There are definitely some current issues with multicast filtering and
IPv6 when behind NC-SI at the moment. It would be nice to make this
configurable instead of disabling the component wholesale but I don't
believe this actually *breaks* anyone's configuration. It would be nice
to see some Tested-By's from the OpenBMC people though.

I'll have a look at the multicast issues, CC'ing in Chris too who IIRC
was looking at similar issues for u-bmc in case he got further.

Thanks. I think this is very similar to the patch that u-bmc has, but this
one is an actual nice-looking patch :-). The u-bmc one is just a bunch of
#if 0's around multicast filtering.

What I'm worried about is that we forget why IPv6 works by disabling
multicast filtering, I don't see any elaborate mention of this in the code.
The long-term fix is to make sure the GMF is programmed with the correct
multicast groups to make IPv6 happy, and we shouldn't lose track of that I
feel. However, as an intermediate fix I welcome this patch whole-heartedly.

I will see if I can dig up an eval board to try it on and add a Tested-By
in that case.

Thanks,

    Hi Vijay,
    
    There are definitely some current issues with multicast filtering and
    IPv6 when behind NC-SI at the moment. It would be nice to make this
    configurable instead of disabling the component wholesale but I don't
    believe this actually *breaks* anyone's configuration. It would be nice
    to see some Tested-By's from the OpenBMC people though.
    
    I'll have a look at the multicast issues, CC'ing in Chris too who IIRC
    was looking at similar issues for u-bmc in case he got further.

Sam,
The current multicast issues for IPV6 are vendor's issues. And if some is 
not supporting IPV6 forwarding to management controller bit fields in 
EGMF then we are filtering it and by disabling filtering it works for Mellanox
And Broadcom cards. I have tested it. That's why I have disabled it to start with
And it can be enabled from netlink utility if required.

Thanks. I think this is very similar to the patch that u-bmc has, but this one is an actual nice-looking patch :-). The u-bmc one is just a bunch of #if 0's around multicast filtering.
Thanks Chris


What I'm worried about is that we forget why IPv6 works by disabling multicast filtering, I don't see any elaborate mention of this in the code. The long-term fix is to make sure the GMF is programmed with the correct multicast groups to make IPv6 happy, and we shouldn't lose track of that I feel. However, as an intermediate fix I welcome this patch whole-heartedly.

Currently issues are with vender’s firmware. If we enable multicast filtering it filters IPV6 packets as well like RA, neighbor discovery etc. And by disabling it forward all packets including IPV6 to management controller.

I will see if I can dig up an eval board to try it on and add a Tested-By in that case.

Thanks Chris, I am looking forward to your test results.

Thanks,

Applied, looks like an unnecessary space sneaked in here, I removed it.
