Currently iavf unconditionally applies MAC address change requests. This brings the VF in a state where it is no longer able to pass traffic if the PF rejects a MAC filter change for the VF. A typical scenario for a rejected MAC filter is for an untrusted VF to request to change the MAC address when an administratively set MAC is present. To keep iavf working in this scenario the MAC filter handling in iavf needs to act on the PF reply regarding the MAC filter change. In the case of an ack the new MAC address gets set, whereas in the case of a nack the previous MAC address needs to stay in place.

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.
