    ixgbe: UTA table incorrectly programmed · 2b202712
    Greg Rose authored
    The UTA table was being set to the functional equivalent of promiscuous
    mode.  This was resulting in traffic from the virtual function being
    flooded onto the wire and the PF device. This resulted in additional
    overhead for VF traffic sent to the network and in the case of traffic
    sent to the PF or another VF resulted in unwanted packets on the wire.
    
    This was actually not the intended behavior. Now that we can program
    the embedded switch correctly we can remove this snippit of code. Users
    who want to support this should configure the FDB correctly using the
    FDB ops.
