From f870f0c92b820e063dbb6ba9bee0ee80e3dc8fd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Or Gerlitz Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 19:55:00 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4_core: Don't give VFs MAC addresses which are derived from the PF MAC [ Upstream commit 0508ad646836007e6e6b62331eee7356844eac3d ] If the user has not assigned a MAC address to a VM, then don't give it MAC which is based on the PF one. The current derivation scheme is wrong and leads to VM MAC collisions when the number of cards/hypervisors becomes big enough. Instead, just give it zeros and let them figure out what to do with that. Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz Signed-off-by: David S.
