This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled net/mlx4_core: Allow resetting VF admin mac to zero to the linux-4.2.y-queue branch of the 4.2.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-4.2.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 4.2.8-ckt6. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 4.2.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From 4e62fc3af9ac8455b1bc2440509e772796508563 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il> Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2016 17:47:46 +0200 Subject: net/mlx4_core: Allow resetting VF admin mac to zero commit 6e5224224faa50ec4c8949dcefadf895e565f0d1 upstream. The VF administrative mac addresses (stored in the PF driver) are initialized to zero when the PF driver starts up. These addresses may be modified in the PF driver through ndo calls initiated by iproute2 or libvirt. While we allow the PF/host to change the VF admin mac address from zero to a valid unicast mac, we do not allow restoring the VF admin mac to zero. We currently only allow changing this mac to a different unicast mac. This leads to problems when libvirt scripts are used to deal with VF mac addresses, and libvirt attempts to revoke the mac so this host will not use it anymore. Fix this by allowing resetting a VF administrative MAC back to zero.
