Remote source MAC addresses can be set on a 'source mode' macvlan interface via the IFLA_MACVLAN_MACADDR_DATA attribute. This commit tightens the validation of these MAC addresses to match the validation already performed when setting or adding a single MAC address via the IFLA_MACVLAN_MACADDR attribute. iproute2 uses IFLA_MACVLAN_MACADDR_DATA for its 'macvlan macaddr set' command, and IFLA_MACVLAN_MACADDR for its 'macvlan macaddr add' command, which demonstrates the inconsistent behaviour that this commit addresses: # ip link add link eth0 name macvlan0 type macvlan mode source # ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr add 01:00:00:00:00:00 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address # ip link set link dev macvlan0 type macvlan macaddr set 01:00:00:00:00:00 # ip -d link show macvlan0 5: macvlan0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 ... link/ether 2e:ac:fd:2d:69:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff promiscuity 0 macvlan mode source remotes (1) 01:00:00:00:00:00 numtxqueues 1 ... With this change, the 'set' command will (rightly) fail in the same way as the 'add' command. Signed-off-by:
