[PATCH net 0/2] bnx2x: Fix malicious VFs indication

flat view
STALE3422d

From: Yuval Mintz <hidden>
Date: 2017-06-09 14:17:29

It was discovered that for a VF there's a simple [yet uncommon] scenario
which would cause device firmware to declare that VF as malicious -
Add a vlan interface on top of a VF and disable txvlan offloading for
that VF [causing VF to transmit packets where vlan is on payload].

Patch #1 corrects driver transmission to prevent this issue.
Patch #2 is a by-product correcting PF behavior once a VF is declared
malicious.

Dave,

Please consider applying these to 'net'.

Thanks,
Yuval
