net, ixgbe: handle link local multicast addresses in SR-IOV mode
In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc. eth0.1 eth0.2 eth0 VF VF PF | | | <-- stand-in for uplink | | | -------------------------- | Embedded Switch | -------------------------- | MAC <-- uplink But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link. This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF. In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer. This is incorrect. This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the hardware to prevent this behavior.
