-Subject: [PATCH 205/226] fsl-dpaa2: eth: sanitize supported private flags
-
-On linux-v4.6 with CONFIG_MACVLAN=y, when bringing up a ni interface, the
-network stack crashes due to a segfault. This is related to the
-macvlan_device_event notifier, which registers itself to all the network
-interface in the system.
-
-The notifier reads the netdev private flags and incorrectly qualifies
-the interface as a macvlan port, since both the IFF_MACVLAN_PORT and
-IFF_PROMISC flags have the same offset. Code spelunking reveals that
-IFF_PROMISC is only used as an interface flag, not a private interface
-flag.
-
-A similar situation happens with IFF_ALLMULTI, which overlaps with
-IFF_BRIDGE_PORT. No info on the consequences of this, since I haven't
-tested bridge scenarios. The interface can still be set in allmulti
-mode using userspace tools (e.g. ifconfig).
-
-IFF_MULTICAST overlaps with IFF_UNICAST_FLT, therefore the current code
-has no effect as it is. The closest multicast activation based on device
-capabilities has been seen in the case of the Aeroflex Gaisler Ethernet
-MAC (aeroflex/greth.c) - here, the runtime (not private) flag is set on
-device probe. On a side node, ether_setup enables IFF_MULTICAST by default.
-
-Remove IFF_PROMISC, IFF_ALLMULTI and IFF_MULTICAST from device capabilities
-init.
