[PATCH net 1/2] octeontx2-af: fix VF bringup affecting PF promiscuous state

From: <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-19 09:08:14
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: marvell octeontx2 rvu admin function driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Sunil Goutham, Linu Cherian, Geetha sowjanya, hariprasad, Subbaraya Sundeep, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Harman Kalra <redacted>

Mbox handling of nix_set_rx_mode for a VF with promiscuous and
all_multi flags set to false causes deletion of the PF's promiscuous
and allmulti MCAM rules. This occurs because the APIs that
enable/disable these rules operate only on the PF, even when the
mbox request is made via a VF interface.

Guard both rvu_npc_enable_allmulti_entry() and
rvu_npc_enable_promisc_entry() disable paths with an is_vf() check so
that a VF bringing up or tearing down its interface cannot inadvertently
clear the PF's MCAM rules.

Fixes: 967db3529eca ("octeontx2-af: add support for multicast/promisc packet replication feature")
