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
