[PATCH 4/4] rsi: optimize virtual interfaces

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Siva Rebbagondla <siva.rebbagondla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Due to multiple calls of add interface routine, vif is getting duplicated
and at certain instance, we are out of vifs, causing the driver to behave
abnormal.

Fix: Every vif has a unique mac-id, when we got a vif with same mac-id as
the previous id's, we will override the respective vif.
