From cf78959c0d7afbde31498afc4212294c28e2c278 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emil Tantilov Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2013 08:13:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: fix inconsistent clearing of the multicast table This patch resolves an issue where the MTA table can be cleared when the interface is reset while in promisc mode. As result IPv6 traffic between VFs will be interrupted. This patch makes the update of the MTA table unconditional to avoid the inconsistent clearing on reset.
