ibmveth 30000003 env3: h_multicast_ctrl rc=4 when adding an entry to the filter table
error when add more thann 256 memberships in one multicast group. I haven't
found this issue on other driver. It looks like an ibm driver issue and need
to be fixed separately.

You need to root cause and fix the reason this message appears so much.

Once I let you rate limit the message you will have zero incentive to
fix the real problem and fix it.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with ibmveth driver...

Hi Thomas,

Would you please help check why this issue happens

Hi, thanks for reporting this. I was able to recreate this on my own 
system. The virtual ethernet's multicast filter list size is limited, 
and the driver will check that there is available space before adding 
entries.  The problem is that the size is encoded as big endian, but the 
driver does not convert it for little endian systems after retrieving it 
from the device tree.  As a result the driver is requesting more than 
the hypervisor can allow and getting this error in reply. I will submit 
a patch to correct this soon.

Thanks again,

Tom
