From 8803e15042fbf5bd53b9b43147a91e3f50cffb03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 23:08:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sfc: Add flag for stack-owned RX MAC filters MAC filters inserted on request from the stack (ndo_set_rx_mode) should allow manual steering but not removal. Currently we have a special case for Siena's all-multicast and all-unicast MAC filters, but on EF10 we need to allow for steering of precise MAC filters as well. The EFX_FILTER_FLAG_RX_STACK flag changes the behaviour of replacement and removal requests: - Replacement *of* a filter with this flag never clears the flag but does change steering and saved priority - Replacement *by* a filter with this flag only sets the flag but does not change steering - Removal with priority < EFX_FILTER_PRI_REQUIRED really resets RX steering and saved priority This could support precise MAC filtering on Siena in future. As a side-benefit, the default MAC filters are hidden from ethtool until they are steered. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
