Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] iavf: iavf_virtchnl_completion: drop duplicate ether_addr_equal() test
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 11:35:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012153458.1075797-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026101248-ravine-unclip-ec97@gregkh>

From: Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 8538aaea10e141457bcb13d51b0d278c697c422a ]

This is just a simple cleanup fix.  Commit 35a2443d0910f ("iavf: Add
waiting for response from PF in set mac") introduced a duplicate
ether_addr_equal() check, so the current code tests the new MAC twice
against the former MAC.

Remove the outer ether_addr_equal() test, remnant of commit c5c922b3e09b
("iavf: fix MAC address setting for VFs when filter is rejected")
