  • z/VM Virtual Switch Port Isolation allows guests on a VLAN UNAWARE
    virtual switch to be isolated from other guests on the VSWITCH.
    (See z/VM Apars VM64281 and VM64463).
    The Linux qeth driver is affected, because it has to handle new
    error codes introduced with the z/VM VSWITCH Port Isolation support.

  • 1. ip_list handling after deregister failure of multicast address:
    If error code "MC Address not found" is returned do not re-add
    multicast address to ip_list.
    For other error codes readd multicast address at the end of
    function qeth_delete_all_mc.
    2. ip_list handling after deregister failure or normal ip address:
    If error code "IP Address not found" is returned do not re-add
    multicast address to ip list.
    This is especially important in IP address takeover scenarios,
    to enable re-takeover of a taken over IP address.
