[Xen-devel] [Patch] Fix for BUG when MAC addresses conflict
When the Solarflare network acceleration plugins are used they currently
do a BUG check to make sure that they''re not being used on multiple
guest interfaces with the same MAC address. While this is a
configuration error it''s not very nice to BUG dom0 as a result, so
I''ve
attached a patch that instead returns an error. Acceleration will
continue on the first interface with that MAC address but any subsequent
ones will be declined and continue to use the normal network path.
