4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Ivan Vecera <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 52acf06451930eb4cefabd5ecea56e2d46c32f76 ] The commit 622190669403 ("be2net: Request RSS capability of Rx interface depending on number of Rx rings") modified be_update_queues() so the IFACE (HW representation of the netdevice) is destroyed and then re-created. This causes a regression because potential promiscuous mode is not restored properly during be_open() because the driver thinks that the HW has promiscuous mode already enabled. Note that Lancer is not affected by this bug because RX-filter flags are disabled during be_close() for this chipset.
