====================
10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-12
This series contains updates to ixgbe only.
Alex Duyck provides almost off of the changes in this series. First, add a
check to make sure mac_table was actually allocated and is not NULL to
ensure we do not get a NULL pointer dereference further down the line.
Fixed SR-IOV VLAN pool configuration since the code for checking the PF bit
in ixgbe_set_vf_vlan_msg() was using the wrong offset. Cleanup/simplify
the logic for setting the VFTA register by removing the number of
conditional checks needed. Fixed a number of issues within the VLVF and
VLFB configuration by simplifying the code. Added support for bypassing
the VLVF entry creation when the PF is adding a new VLAN. Reduced the
complexity of the search function used for finding a VLVF entry associated
with a given VLAN ID. Added support for VLAN promiscuous with SR-IOV
enabled by setting all the bits in the VFTA and all of the VLVF bits
associated with teh pool belonging to the PF, in addition to cleaning up
those same bits in the event of promiscuous mode being disabled. Fixed
and issue where we ran the risk of leaking an address into pool 0 which
really belongs to VF 0 when SR-IOV is enabled.
Emil fixes an issue with some X550 devices which can connect at 2.5Gbps,
but only with certain link partners during fail-over, so to avoid
confusion, we do not report it as supported.
