[ Upstream commit 9e71a15d8b5bbce25c637f7f8833cd3f45b65646 ] When running tx switched traffic between VNICs created via a bridge(to which VFs are added), adapter drops the unicast packets in tx flow due to VNIC's ucast mac being unknown to it. But VF interfaces being in promiscuous mode should have caused adapter to accept all the unknown ucast packets. Later, it was found that driver doesn't really configure tx promiscuous mode settings to accept all unknown unicast macs. This patch fixes tx promiscuous mode settings to accept all unknown/unmatched unicast macs and works out the scenario.

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.
