Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] net/mlx4_core: Don't give VFs MAC addresses which are derived from the PF MAC
Date: Thu,  1 Aug 2013 19:55:00 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1375376101-20435-2-git-send-email-ogerlitz@mellanox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1375376101-20435-1-git-send-email-ogerlitz@mellanox.com>

If the user has not assigned a MAC address to a VM, then don't give it MAC which
is based on the PF one. The current derivation scheme is wrong and leads to VM
MAC collisions when the number of cards/hypervisors becomes big enough.

Instead, just give it zeros and let them figure out what to do with that.
