From 44661462ee1ee3c922754fc1f246867f0d01e7ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2011 13:58:33 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bridge: Always flood broadcast packets As is_multicast_ether_addr returns true on broadcast packets as well, we need to explicitly exclude broadcast packets so that they're always flooded. This wasn't an issue before as broadcast packets were considered to be an unregistered multicast group, which were always flooded. However, as we now only flood such packets to router ports, this is no longer acceptable. Reported-by: Michael Guntsche Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
