This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: hns3: fix show wrong state when add existing uc mac address to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-hns3-fix-show-wrong-state-when-add-existing-uc-m.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a419cc4fa65b3a6e929a70ca5c22e98f7bf35b2a Author: Jian Shen <shenjian15@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 29 17:35:53 2021 +0800 net: hns3: fix show wrong state when add existing uc mac address [ Upstream commit 108b3c7810e14892c4a1819b1d268a2c785c087c ] Currently, if function adds an existing unicast mac address, eventhough driver will not add this address into hardware, but it will return 0 in function hclge_add_uc_addr_common(). It will cause the state of this unicast mac address is ACTIVE in driver, but it should be in TO-ADD state. To fix this problem, function hclge_add_uc_addr_common() returns -EEXIST if mac address is existing, and delete two error log to avoid printing them all the time after this modification.
