The main goal of these changes is to make it so that we only support offloading what we can actually offload and we don't break any existing functionality. So for example we were claiming to advertise source mode macvlan and we were doing nothing of the sort, so support for that has been dropped. The biggest change with this set is that broadcast/multicast replication is no longer being supported in software. Alex dropped it as it leads to scaling issues when a broadcast frame has to be replicated up to 64 times. Beyond that this set goes through and optimized the time needed to bring up and tear down the macvlan interfaces on ixgbe and provides a clean way for us to disable the macvlan offload when needed. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
