If the mc_list is longer than 256 addresses, we enter mc_promisc mode. If we're in mc_promisc mode and the firmware doesn't support cascaded multicast, normally we also insert our mc_list, to prevent stealing by another VI. However, if the mc_list was too long, this isn't really helpful - the MC groups that didn't fit in the list can still get stolen, and having only some of them stealable will probably cause more confusing behaviour than having them all stealable. Since inserting 256 multicast filters takes a long time and can lead to MCDI state machine timeouts, just skip the mc_list insert in this overflow condition.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
