patch 'net/tap: set locally administered bit for fixed MAC address' has been queued to stable release 22.11.3

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/27/23. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=22.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=22.11-staging&id=8e27036b63097e7df03246570676b549944f8f88

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] net/tap: set locally administered bit for fixed MAC address
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit c3006be2acab49c6b77ae9c9ef04b061e5dacbd6 ]

When the tap driver is loaded and the user selects the optional
"mac=fixed" setting, the tap driver incorrectly uses a globally
unique EUI-48 identifier (as documented in RFC 7042) of
00:64:74:61:70:<iface_idx>. Since this is a locally generated ID,
the Local bit in the MAC address should be set to 1, resulting in
the new address 02:64:74:61:70:<iface_idx>.

Bugzilla ID: 1198
Fixes: f6921783fee6 ("net/tap: add support for fixed MAC addresses")
