Re: [PATCH net-next 0/9] sfc: support for cascaded multicast filtering
From: Edward Cree ec...@solarflare.com Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 15:07:44 +0100 Recent versions of firmware for SFC9100 adapters add support for filter chaining, in which packets matching multiple filters are delivered to all filters' recipients, rather than only the highest match-priority filter as was previously the case. This patch series enables this feature and redesigns the filter handling code to make use of it; in particular, subscribing to a multicast address on one function no longer prevents traffic to that address reaching another function which is in promiscuous or allmulti mode. If the firmware does not support filter chaining, the driver will fall back to the old behaviour. Series applied, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
