As per existing behavior, when PF sets a MAC address for a VF (also called as forced MAC), VF is not allowed to change its MAC address afterwards. This puts the limitation on few use cases such as bonding of VFs, where bonding driver asks VF to change its MAC address. This patch uses a VF trust mode to allow VF to change its MAC address in spite PF has set a forced MAC for that VF. Signed-off-by: Shahed Shaikh <shahed.shaikh@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
