iavf: Fix issue with MAC address of VF shown as zero
After reinitialization of iavf, ice driver gets VIRTCHNL_OP_ADD_ETH_ADDR message with incorrectly set type of MAC address. Hardware address should have is_primary flag set as true. This way ice driver knows what it has to set as a MAC address. Check if the address is primary in iavf_add_filter function and set flag accordingly. To test set all-zero MAC on a VF. This triggers iavf re-initialization and VIRTCHNL_OP_ADD_ETH_ADDR message gets sent to PF. For example: ip link set dev ens785 vf 0 mac 00:00:00:00:00:00 This triggers re-initialization of iavf. New MAC should be assigned. Now check if MAC is non-zero: ip link show dev ens785 Fixes: a3e839d5 ("iavf: Add usage of new virtchnl format to set default MAC") Signed-off-by: Michal Wilczynski <michal.wilczynski@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej Fijalkowski <maciej.fijalkowski@intel.com> Tested-by: Konrad Jankowski <konrad0.jankowski@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
