Julian Wiedmann bd74a7f9cc s390/qeth: fix HiperSockets sniffer 
Sniffing mode for L3 HiperSockets requires that no IP addresses are
registered with the HW. The preferred way to achieve this is for
userspace to delete all the IPs on the interface. But qeth is expected
to also tolerate a configuration where that is not the case, by skipping
the IP registration when in sniffer mode.
Since commit 5f78e29cee ("qeth: optimize IP handling in rx_mode callback")
reworked the IP registration logic in the L3 subdriver, this no longer
works. When the qeth device is set online, qeth_l3_recover_ip() now
unconditionally registers all unicast addresses from our internal
IP table.

While we could fix this particular problem by skipping
qeth_l3_recover_ip() on a sniffer device, the more future-proof change
is to skip the IP address registration at the lowest level. This way we
a) catch any future code path that attempts to register an IP address
   without considering the sniffer scenario, and
b) continue to build up our internal IP table, so that if sniffer mode
   is switched off later we can operate just like normal.

Fixes: 5f78e29cee ("qeth: optimize IP handling in rx_mode callback")

README 

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.
