Olivier Matz 6ec537c500 ixgbe: fix unexpected VLAN Rx in promisc mode on VF
commit 7bb0fb7c63df95d6027dc50d6af3bc3bbbc25483 upstream.

When the promiscuous mode is enabled on a VF, the IXGBE_VMOLR_VPE
bit (VLAN Promiscuous Enable) is set. This means that the VF will
receive packets whose VLAN is not the same than the VLAN of the VF.

For instance, in this situation:

┌────────┐    ┌────────┐    ┌────────┐
│        │    │        │    │        │
│        │    │        │    │        │
│     VF0├────┤VF1  VF2├────┤VF3     │
│        │    │        │    │        │
└────────┘    └────────┘    └────────┘
   VM1           VM2           VM3

vf 0:  vlan 1000
vf 1:  vlan 1000
vf 2:  vlan 1001
vf 3:  vlan 1001

If we tcpdump on VF3, we see all the packets, even those transmitted
on vlan 1000.

This behavior prevents to bridge VF1 and VF2 in VM2, because it will
create a loop: packets transmitted on VF1 will be received by VF2 and
vice-versa, and bridged again through the software bridge.

This patch remove the activation of VLAN Promiscuous when a VF enables
the promiscuous mode. However, the IXGBE_VMOLR_UPE bit (Unicast
Promiscuous) is kept, so that a VF receives all packets that has the
same VLAN, whatever the destination MAC address.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
