Hi,

looking at the driver it looks to me like the address
provided to ndo_set_mac_address() is thrown away after use.
That looks problematic to me, because reset_resume()
should redo the operation.
What do you think?

	Regards
		Oliver

Do you need a copy in tp? I would expect the MAC address stored in
netdev by eth_hw_addr_set() is still there after the resume?

I think this patch conflicts with commit 25766271e42f ("r8152: Refresh
MAC address during USBDEVFS_RESET"). The results would be changed.

Besides, I don't understand why you set tp->external_mac = false
in rtl8152_down().

Best Regards,
Hayes

Argh.
OK, thank you. Do you agree that a manually set MAC needs to be kept
even through a pre/post_reset() and reset_resume(), while a MAC passed
through needs to be reevaluated at pre/post_reset() but not at
reset_resume()

Frankly I need to undo the effect of ndo_set_mac_address()
at some time, but it is unclear to me how to return a network
interface to its "native" MAC.
Any ideas?

Yes. I think a user wishes to keep it.

I am not sure. Is it necessary?
If I change the MAC address, I don't hope it is recovered unexpectedly
unless the system is rebooted or shutdown.

Patch

From 19fc972a5cc98197bc81a7c56dd5d68e3fdfc36b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] r8152: restore external MAC in reset_resume

If user space has set the MAC of the interface,
reset_resume() must restore that setting rather
than redetermine the MAC like if te interface
is probed regularly.
