mainlining shenanigans
18c8c54de9
Passthru macvlans directly change the mac address of the lower level device. That's OK, but after the macvlan is deleted, the lower device is left with changed address and one needs to reboot to bring back the origina HW addresses. This scenario is actually quite common with passthru macvtap devices. This patch attempts to solve this, by storing the mac address of the lower device in macvlan_port structure and keeping track of it through the changes. After this patch, any changes to the lower device mac address done trough the macvlan device, will be reverted back. Any changs done directly to the lower device mac address will be kept.

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.
