[RFC PATCH 0/3] Provide default fdb operation to allow mac filter

[RFC PATCH 0/3] Provide default fdb operation to allow mac filter

[Vlad Yasevich]

This is a short series that now allows mac filter programming on any
card that support IFF_UNICAST_FLT by using the existing FDB interface.

Some existing drivers that had FDB functionality usually supported
it only in SR-IOV mode.  Since that's not always enabled, and
we want to take advantage of IFF_UNICAST_FLT support, these drivers
have been converted to call the default handler when not in SRIOV mode.

John Fastabend (1):
  net: generic fdb support for drivers without ndo_fdb_<op>

Vlad Yasevich (2):
  ixgbe: Use default fdb handlers when not in VF mode.
  mlx4: Use default fdb handlers when not multifunction.

[RFC PATCH 1/3] net: generic fdb support for drivers without ndo_fdb_<op>

[Vlad Yasevich]

If the driver does not support the ndo_op use the generic
handler for it. This should work in the majority of cases.
Eventually the fdb_dflt_add call gets translated into a
__dev_set_rx_mode() call which should handle hardware
support for filtering via the IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag.

Namely IFF_UNICAST_FLT indicates if the hardware can do
unicast address filtering. If no support is available
the device is put into promisc mode.

[Vlad Yasevich]

Allow the use of ndo_dflt_fdb_<add|del|dump> when the
adapter does not have VF configured.  This allows for
IFF_UNICAST_FLT support and allows VF handling to potentially

With the first patch we can just remove this routine altogether and
let the dflt handler do its work.

CC'd Greg in case I miss something.

This is the same as not defining the op at all right? Just
remove it.

OK.  I took the safe approach and kept the functions.  The only 
difference right now is that right now with VF configured, fdb_add
refuses to add more then IXGBE_MAX_PF_MACVLANS and thus never would
enter into promisc mode.   I am not sure if that how its supposed to
be have or not.  That's one of the reasons I kept this around.

[RFC PATCH 3/3] mlx4: Use default fdb handlers when not multifunction.

[Vlad Yasevich]

Allow the use of ndo_dflt_fdb_<add|del|dump> when the
adapter is not configured with virtual functins (!mlx4_is_mfunc())
This allows proper IFF_UNICAST_FLT support and allows for
additional handling by the driver if needed.
