Jesse Brandeburg a72d2b2cc6 e1000e: fix loss of multicast packets ... e1000e (and e1000, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of operations each time a multicast address is added. The flow goes something like 1) stack adds one multicast address 2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast addresses to driver 3) driver clears entire list in hardware 4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the reprogramming process. reference with test program: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2009/3/14/5160514/thread Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program. This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and programs it in one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase" cycle. It would still be possible for packets to be dropped while the receiver is off during reprogramming.
