[ Upsteam commitbc3ab70584] Commit5f78e29cee("qeth: optimize IP handling in rx_mode callback") reworked how secondary addresses are managed for qeth devices. Instead of dropping & subsequently re-adding all addresses on every ndo_set_rx_mode() call, qeth now keeps track of the addresses that are currently registered with the HW. On a ndo_set_rx_mode(), we thus only need to do (de-)registration requests for the addresses that have actually changed. On L3 devices, the lookup for IPv4 Multicast addresses checks the wrong hashtable - and thus never finds a match. As a result, we first delete *all* such addresses, and then re-add them again. So each set_rx_mode() causes a short period where the IPv4 Multicast addresses are not registered, and the card stops forwarding inbound traffic for them. Fix this by setting the ->is_multicast flag on the lookup object, thus enabling qeth_l3_ip_from_hash() to search the correct hashtable and find a match there.

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.
