commit98052bdaf6upstream. The original version of the candidate selection for DAT attempted to compare both candidate and max_orig_node to identify which has the smaller MAC address. This comparison is required as tie-break when a hash collision happened. But the used function returned 0 when the function was not equal and a non-zero value when it was equal. As result, the actually selected node was dependent on the order of entries in the orig_hash and not actually on the mac addresses. The last originator in the hash collision would always win. To have a proper ordering, it must diff the actual MAC address bytes and reject the candidate when the diff is not smaller than 0.

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.
