From cd431e738509e74726055390c9e5e81e8e7e03ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2013 20:22:50 +0000 Subject: macvlan: add multicast filter Setting up IPv6 addresses on configurations with many macvlans is not really working, as many multicast messages are dropped. Add a multicast filter to macvlan to reduce the amount of cloned skbs and overhead. Successfully tested with 1024 macvlans on one ethernet device.
