From b1ac1ef71b05f7127a2f344fc8219b37ed6859de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Fastabend Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2012 05:00:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: fdb: only allow NUD_PERM fdb entries There was a bitwise operation error in the fdb_add block that was only allowing FDB types that were not permanent. This was the opposite of the intent because the hardware never ages out address these are the _only_ type of addrs that should be allowed. This was missed because until recently iproute2 did not set any bit for this by default. And our test code to manage FDB entries on embedded devices similarly did not set these bits. I am going to chalk this up as a bug and fix it now.
