Currently when there are SR-IOV VF(s) and the user does "ip link show <pf interface>" the VF unicast MAC addresses all show 00:00:00:00:00:00 if the unicast MAC was set via VIRTCHNL (i.e. not administratively set by the host PF). This is misleading to the host administrator. Fix this by setting the VF's dflt_lan_addr.addr when the VF's unicast MAC address is configured via VIRTCHNL. There are a couple cases where we don't allow the dflt_lan_addr.addr field to be written. First, If the VF's pf_set_mac field is true and the VF is not trusted, then we don't allow the dflt_lan_addr.addr to be modified. Second, if the dflt_lan_addr.addr has already been set (i.e. via VIRTCHNL). Also a small refactor was done to separate the flow for add and delete MAC addresses in order to simplify the logic for error conditions and set/clear the VF's dflt_lan_addr.addr field.

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.
