Subject: [PATCH 6/12] iseries_veth: Fix broken promiscuous handling
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2005 20:20:39 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1120126839.505562.276017099853.qpatch@concordia> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200506302016.55125.michael@ellerman.id.au>

Due to a logic bug, once promiscuous mode is enabled in the iseries_veth
driver it is never disabled.

The driver keeps two flags, promiscuous and all_mcast which have exactly the
same effect. This is because we only ever receive packets destined for us,
or multicast packets. So consolidate them into one promiscuous flag for
simplicity.
