When a lower device of the passthru macvlan changes it's address, passthru macvlan is supposed to change it's own address as well. However, that doesn't happen correctly because the check in macvlan_addr_busy() will catch the fact that the lower level (port) mac address is the same as the address we are trying to assign to the macvlan, and return an error. As a reasult, the address of the passthru macvlan device is never changed. The same thing happens when the user attempts to change the mac address of the passthru macvlan. The simple solution appers to be to not check against the lower device in case of passthru macvlan device, since the 2 addresses are _supposed_ to be the same.

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.
