[ Upstream commit 66cf4710b23ab2adda11155684a2c8826f4fe732 ] The ibm,mac-address-filters property defines the maximum number of addresses the hypervisor's multicast filter list can support. It is encoded as a big-endian integer in the OF device tree, but the virtual ethernet driver does not convert it for use by little-endian systems. As a result, the driver is not behaving as it should on affected systems when a large number of multicast addresses are assigned to the device.

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.
