When the user sets or clears the IFF_ALLMULTI flag in the netdev, there are no log messages printed to the kernel log to indicate anything happened. This is inexplicably different from most other dev->flags changes, and could suprise the user. Typically this occurs from user-space when a user: ip link set eth0 allmulticast <on|off> However, other devices like bridge set allmulticast as well, and many other flows might trigger entry into allmulticast as well. The new message uses the standard netdev_info print and looks like: [ 413.246110] ixgbe 0000:17:00.0 eth0: entered allmulticast mode [ 415.977184] ixgbe 0000:17:00.0 eth0: left allmulticast mode Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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.
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.
