xfail_on_veth() for this test is an incorrect approximation which gives false positives and false negatives. When local_termination fails with "reception succeeded, but should have failed", it is because the DUT ($h2) accepts packets even when not configured as promiscuous. This is not something specific to veth; even the bridge behaves that way, but this is not captured by the xfail_on_veth test. The IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag is not explicitly exported to user space, but it can somewhat be determined from the interface's behavior. We have to create a macvlan upper with a different MAC address. This forces a dev_uc_add() call in the kernel. When the unicast filtering list is not empty, but the device doesn't support IFF_UNICAST_FLT, __dev_set_rx_mode() force-enables promiscuity on the interface, to ensure correct behavior (that the requested address is received). We can monitor the change in the promiscuity flag and infer from it whether the device supports unicast filtering. There is no equivalent thing for allmulti, unfortunately. We never know what's hiding behind a device which has allmulti=off. Whether it will actually perform RX multicast filtering of unknown traffic is a strong "maybe". The bridge driver, for example, completely ignores the flag. We'll have to keep the xfail behavior, but instead of XFAIL on just veth, always XFAIL.

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 reStructuredText 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.
