Please see the following thread to get some context on this http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121564433018903&w=2 Basically the issue is that current multi-cast filtering stuff in the TUN/TAP driver is seriously broken. Original patch went in without proper review and ACK. It was broken and confusing to start with and subsequent patches broke it completely. To give you an idea of what's broken here are some of the issues: - Very confusing comments throughout the code that imply that the character device is a network interface in its own right, and that packets are passed between the two nics. Which is completely wrong. - Wrong set of ioctls is used for setting up filters. They look like shortcuts for manipulating state of the tun/tap network interface but in reality manipulate the state of the TX filter. - ioctls that were originally used for setting address of the the TX filter got "fixed" and now set the address of the network interface itself. Which made filter totaly useless. - Filtering is done too late. Instead of filtering early on, to avoid unnecessary wakeups, filtering is done in the read() call. The list goes on and on :) So the patch cleans all that up. It introduces simple and clean interface for setting up TX filters (TUNSETTXFILTER + tun_filter spec) and does filtering before enqueuing the packets. TX filtering is useful in the scenarios where TAP is part of a bridge, in which case it gets all broadcast, multicast and potentially other packets when the bridge is learning. So for example Ethernet tunnelling app may want to setup TX filters to avoid tunnelling multicast traffic. QEMU and other hypervisors can push RX filtering that is currently done in the guest into the host context therefore saving wakeups and unnecessary data transfer.
