[ Upstream commit 7e1caeace0418381f36b3aa8403dfd82fc57fc53 ]
Macvlan device in passthru mode sets its lower device promiscuous mode
according to its MACVLAN_FLAG_NOPROMISC flag instead of synchronizing it to
its own promiscuity setting. However, macvlan_change_rx_flags() function
doesn't check the mode before propagating such changes to the lower device
which can cause net_device->promiscuity counter overflow as illustrated by
reproduction example [0] and resulting dmesg log [1]. Fix the issue by
first verifying the mode in macvlan_change_rx_flags() function before
propagating promiscuous mode change to the lower device.

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.
