[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 04/16] ibmveth: Convert multicast list size for little-endian system

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-08-29 18:17:55
Also in: linuxppc-dev, lkml, stable
Subsystem: ibm power virtual ethernet device driver, linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Nick Child, Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Thomas Falcon <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 66cf4710b23ab2adda11155684a2c8826f4fe732 ]

The ibm,mac-address-filters property defines the maximum number of
addresses the hypervisor's multicast filter list can support. It is
encoded as a big-endian integer in the OF device tree, but the virtual
ethernet driver does not convert it for use by little-endian systems.
As a result, the driver is not behaving as it should on affected systems
when a large number of multicast addresses are assigned to the device.
