Subject: SiS900 driver multicast problems and patch.
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2003 09:40:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F9E2B6C.30000@revicon.com> (raw)
After upgrading to kernel 2.4.22 we discovered that multicast was no
longer handled properly by the SiS900. Examining the changes between
2.4.19 and 2.4.22 it is clear that the handling of multicast was changed
but a bug was introduced.
A simple set_bit call from 2.4.19 was changed to the following:
u16 mc_filter[16] = {0};
unsigned int bit_nr =
sis900_mcast_bitnr(mclist->dmi_addr, revision);
mc_filter[bit_nr >> 4] |= (1 << bit_nr);
This will not work for bit_nr larger than 16 and hence the failure.
Reverting to use set_bit causes multicast to be handled properly.
