i40e: When removing VF MAC filters, only check PF-set MAC
[ Upstream commit 5a0df02 ] When the PF is processing an Admin Queue message to delete a VF's MACs from the MAC filter, we currently check if the PF set the MAC and if the VF is trusted. This results in undesirable behaviour, where if a trusted VF with a PF-set MAC sets itself down (which sends an AQ message to delete the VF's MAC filters) then the VF MAC is erased from the interface. This results in the VF losing its PF-set MAC which should not happen. There is no need to check for trust at all, because an untrusted VF cannot change its own MAC. The only check needed is whether the PF set the MAC. If the PF set the MAC, then don't erase the MAC on link-down. Resolve this by changing the deletion check only for PF-set MAC. (the out-of-tree driver has also intentionally removed the check for VF trust here with OOT driver version 2.26.8, this changes the Linux kernel driver behaviour and comment to match the OOT driver behaviour) Fixes: ea2a1cf ("i40e: Fix VF MAC filter removal") Signed-off-by: Jamie Bainbridge <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <[email protected]> Tested-by: Rafal Romanowski <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <[email protected]>
