[PATCH 5.5 332/367] net: stmmac: fix missing IFF_MULTICAST check in dwmac4_set_filter

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

 



From: "Verma, Aashish" <aashishx.verma@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2ba31cd93784b61813226d259fd94a221ecd9d61 ]

Without checking for IFF_MULTICAST flag, it is wrong to assume multicast
filtering is always enabled. By checking against IFF_MULTICAST, now
the driver behaves correctly when the multicast support is toggled by below
command:-
  ip link set <devname> multicast off|on
