When VF requests adding of MAC filters the checking is done against number of already present MAC filters not adding them at the same time. It makes it possible to add a bunch of filters at once possibly exceeding acceptable limit of I40E_VC_MAX_MAC_ADDR_PER_VF filters. This happens because when checking vf->num_mac, we do not check how many filters are being requested at once. Modify the check function to ensure that it knows how many filters are being requested. This allows the check to ensure that the total number of filters in a single request does not cause us to go over the limit. Additionally, move the check to within the lock to ensure that the vf->num_mac is checked while holding the lock to maintain consistency. We could have simply moved the call to i40e_vf_check_permission to within the loop, but this could cause a request to be non-atomic, and add some but not all the addresses, while reporting an error code. We want to avoid this behavior so that users are not confused about which filters have or have not been added.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
