[PATCH 3/5] virtio_net: Add a set_rx_mode interface

From: Alex Williamson <hidden>
Date: 2009-01-16 21:15:21
Also in: kvm
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, virtio core, virtio net driver · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, "Michael S. Tsirkin", Jason Wang

Make use of the RX_MODE control virtqueue class to enable the
set_rx_mode netdev interface.  This allows us to selectively
enable/disable promiscuous and allmulti mode so we don't see
packets we don't want.  We'll automatically enable these as
needed if additional unicast or multicast addresses are
requested.
