Subject: [PATCH v6 2/2] net/iavf: fix duplicate MAC addresses install
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 14:28:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904122804.2256481-2-david.marchand@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904122804.2256481-1-david.marchand@redhat.com>
On port restart, all MAC addresses get pushed *twice* to the hardware,
once by the driver and once by the eth_dev_mac_restore() in ethdev.
On the other hand, MAC address filters are reset in the hardware
by the PF only when a VF reset is triggered.
Strictly speaking, the mac restore on port (re)start is unneeded,
if no VF reset happened, so we can announce to ethdev that no mac
restoration is needed via a get_restore_flags callback.
Then, move the mac restoration to the VF reset handler.
Fixes: 3d42086def30 ("net/iavf: preserve MAC address with i40e PF Linux driver")

Changes since v4:
- rebased on next-net-intel,
Changes since v4:
- moved mac restoration in iavf_post_reset_reconfig,
