[PATCH 4.9 50/66] be2net: restore properly promisc mode after queues reconfiguration

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ivan Vecera <cera@xxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 52acf06451930eb4cefabd5ecea56e2d46c32f76 ]

The commit 622190669403 ("be2net: Request RSS capability of Rx interface
depending on number of Rx rings") modified be_update_queues() so the
IFACE (HW representation of the netdevice) is destroyed and then
re-created. This causes a regression because potential promiscuous mode
is not restored properly during be_open() because the driver thinks
that the HW has promiscuous mode already enabled.

Note that Lancer is not affected by this bug because RX-filter flags are
disabled during be_close() for this chipset.
