Description: Fixed an issue that caused the switch port to go down due to MC packets mirrored back to the switch when in promiscuous mode.

Keywords: Promiscuous mode, switch, MC packets

Discovered in Version: 22.39.1002

Fixed in Release: 22.41.1000

3555832

Description: Fixed an issue that caused traffic failure when modifying the VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF bit for the VDPA device during traffic.

Keywords: VDPA, MRG_RXBUF

Discovered in Version: 22.39.1002

Fixed in Release: 22.41.1000

3771100

Description: Fixed an issue that resulted in the second mkey index returning even if it was not set in the creation of the virtio q when querying virtio q object.

Keywords: VDPA, virtio, query object
