[PATCH net 0/2][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2022-06-07

[Tony Nguyen]

This series contains updates to ixgbe driver only.

Olivier Matz resolves an issue so that broadcast packets can still be
received when VF removes promiscuous settings and removes setting of
VLAN promiscuous, in promiscuous mode, to prevent a loop when VFs are
bridged.

The following are changes since commit cf67838c4422eab826679b076dad99f96152b4de:
  selftests net: fix bpf build error
and are available in the git repository at:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/net-queue 10GbE

Olivier Matz (2):
  ixgbe: fix bcast packets Rx on VF after promisc removal
  ixgbe: fix unexpected VLAN Rx in promisc mode on VF

[PATCH net 1/2] ixgbe: fix bcast packets Rx on VF after promisc removal

[Tony Nguyen]

From: Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>

After a VF requested to remove the promiscuous flag on an interface, the
broadcast packets are not received anymore. This breaks some protocols
like ARP.

In ixgbe_update_vf_xcast_mode(), we should keep the IXGBE_VMOLR_BAM
bit (Broadcast Accept) on promiscuous removal.

This flag is already set by default in ixgbe_set_vmolr() on VF reset.

[PATCH net 2/2] ixgbe: fix unexpected VLAN Rx in promisc mode on VF

[Tony Nguyen]

From: Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>

When the promiscuous mode is enabled on a VF, the IXGBE_VMOLR_VPE
bit (VLAN Promiscuous Enable) is set. This means that the VF will
receive packets whose VLAN is not the same than the VLAN of the VF.

For instance, in this situation:

┌────────┐    ┌────────┐    ┌────────┐
│        │    │        │    │        │
│        │    │        │    │        │
│     VF0├────┤VF1  VF2├────┤VF3     │
│        │    │        │    │        │
└────────┘    └────────┘    └────────┘
   VM1           VM2           VM3

vf 0:  vlan 1000
vf 1:  vlan 1000
vf 2:  vlan 1001
vf 3:  vlan 1001

If we tcpdump on VF3, we see all the packets, even those transmitted
on vlan 1000.

This behavior prevents to bridge VF1 and VF2 in VM2, because it will
create a loop: packets transmitted on VF1 will be received by VF2 and
vice-versa, and bridged again through the software bridge.

This patch remove the activation of VLAN Promiscuous when a VF enables
the promiscuous mode. However, the IXGBE_VMOLR_UPE bit (Unicast
Promiscuous) is kept, so that a VF receives all packets that has the
same VLAN, whatever the destination MAC address.
