Subject: [PATCH net 0/4] macvlan: Fix some issues with changing mac addresses
Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 09:36:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170616133649.24622-1-vyasevic@redhat.com> (raw)

There are some issues in macvlan wrt to changing it's mac address.
* An error is returned in the specified address is the same as an already
  assigned address.
* In passthru mode, the mac address of the macvlan device doesn't change.
* After changing the mac address of a passthru macvlan and then removing it,
  the mac address of the physical device remains changed.

This patch series attempts to resolve these issues.

Thanks
