Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net/ixgbe: fix bcast packets Rx on VF after promisc removal
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:09:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220929120901.639-2-olivier.matz@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220929120901.639-1-olivier.matz@6wind.com>

After a VF requested to remove the promiscuous flag on an interface, the
broadcast packets are not received anymore. This breaks some protocols
like ARP.

In ixgbe_update_vf_xcast_mode(), we should keep the IXGBE_VMOLR_BAM
bit (Broadcast Accept) on promiscuous removal. This flag is already set
by default in ixgbe_vf_reset_event() on VF reset.

A similar patch was accepted in Linux kernel (see link).

Fixes: 0355c379b71f ("net/ixgbe: support VF promiscuous by PF driver")
Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=803e9895ea2b
