Jiri Wiesner ee98e615c8 ipvlan: do not add hardware address of master to its unicast filter list 
[ Upstream commit 63aae7b173 ]

There is a problem when ipvlan slaves are created on a master device that
is a vmxnet3 device (ipvlan in VMware guests). The vmxnet3 driver does not
support unicast address filtering. When an ipvlan device is brought up in
ipvlan_open(), the ipvlan driver calls dev_uc_add() to add the hardware
address of the vmxnet3 master device to the unicast address list of the
master device, phy_dev->uc. This inevitably leads to the vmxnet3 master
device being forced into promiscuous mode by __dev_set_rx_mode().

Promiscuous mode is switched on the master despite the fact that there is
still only one hardware address that the master device should use for
filtering in order for the ipvlan device to be able to receive packets.
The comment above struct net_device describes the uc_promisc member as a
"counter, that indicates, that promiscuous mode has been enabled due to
the need to listen to additional unicast addresses in a device that does
not implement ndo_set_rx_mode()". Moreover, the design of ipvlan
guarantees that only the hardware address of a master device,
phy_dev->dev_addr, will be used to transmit and receive all packets from
its ipvlan slaves. Thus, the unicast address list of the master device
should not be modified by ipvlan_open() and ipvlan_stop() in order to make
ipvlan a workable option on masters that do not support unicast address
filtering.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
