From 8552d85442dd814d733f67592627ea55f7cbfb01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitch Williams Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:54:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] i40evf: don't blow away MAC address Under certain circumstances, we can get an extra VF_RESOURCES message from the PF driver at runtime. When this happens, we need to parse it because our VSI may have changed out from underneath us, and that will affect our relationship with the PF driver. However, parsing the resources message also blows away our current MAC address in the hardware struct, usually with all zeros. When this happens, the next time the interface is opened, it will have no MAC address and will a) not work and b) complain. Fix this issue by restoring the current MAC address from the netdev struct after we parse the resource message.
