Subject: [PATCH] net: Correctly sync addresses from multiple sources to single device
Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 14:52:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389988332-22472-1-git-send-email-vyasevic@redhat.com> (raw)

When we have multiple devices attempting to sync the same address
to a single destination, each device should be permitted to sync
it once.  To accomplish this, pass the sync count of the source
address to __hw_addr_add_ex().  'sync_cnt' tracks how many time
a given address has been successfully synced.  If the address
is found in the destination list, but the 'sync_cnt' of the source
is 0, then this address has not been synced from this interface
and we need to allow the sync operation to succeed thus incrementing
reference counts.
