Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] net/mlx5: E-Switch, Initialize MAC Address for Default GID
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2025 11:36:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250423083611.324567-3-mbloch@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250423083611.324567-1-mbloch@nvidia.com>
From: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@nvidia.com>
Initialize the source MAC address when creating the default GID entry.
Since this entry is used only for loopback traffic, it only needs to
be a unicast address. A zeroed-out MAC address is sufficient for this
purpose.
Without this fix, random bits would be assigned as the source address.
If these bits formed a multicast address, the firmware would return an
error, preventing the user from switching to switchdev mode:
Error: mlx5_core: Failed setting eswitch to offloads.
kernel answers: Invalid argument
Fixes: 80f09dfc237f ("net/mlx5: Eswitch, enable RoCE loopback traffic")
