Currently, when setting a VF MAC address there are no error checks to ensure that the MAC filter was successfully added. This patch adds additional error checks, reporting, and propagation of errors. It also will not set the MAC address unless adding the MAC filter was successful. With these changes, setting the mac address to zeros can no longer call ixgbe_set_vf_mac() as adding a zero MAC address filter is not valid. Instead directly delete the filter and, if successful, clear the MAC address.

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.
