[PATCH 1/2] if_link: Add VF multicast promiscuous mode control

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto
Date: Tue Jan 20 2015 - 06:03:15 EST


From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add netlink directives and ndo entry to control VF multicast promiscuous mode.

Intel ixgbe and ixgbevf driver can handle only 30 multicast MAC addresses
per VF. It means that we cannot assign over 30 IPv6 addresses to a single
VF interface on VM. We want thousands IPv6 addresses in VM.

There is capability of multicast promiscuous mode in Intel 82599 chip.
It enables all multicast packets are delivered to the target VF.

This patch prepares to control that VF multicast promiscuous functionality.
