From 4cd729b04285b7330edaf5a7080aa795d6d15ff3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Yasevich Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:54:25 +0000 Subject: net: add dev_uc_sync_multiple() and dev_mc_sync_multiple() api The current implementation of dev_uc_sync/unsync() assumes that there is a strict 1-to-1 relationship between the source and destination of the sync. In other words, once an address has been synced to a destination device, it will not be synced to any other device through the sync API. However, there are some virtual devices that aggreate a number of lower devices and need to sync addresses to all of them. The current API falls short there. This patch introduces a new dev_uc_sync_multiple() api that can be called in the above circumstances and allows sync to work for every invocation.
