[PATCH 4.4 007/192] [PATCH 007/135] i40e: dont add zero MAC filter

Show all headers | View raw

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit b7b713a8eaf325607d37229f024ad0b9f3e7f320 ]

When VFs are created, the MAC address defaults to all zeros, indicating
to the VF driver that it should use a random MAC address. However, the
PF driver was incorrectly adding this zero MAC to the filter table,
along with the VF's randomly generated MAC address.

Check for a good address before adding the default filter. While we're
at it, make the error message a bit more useful.
