Herbert Xu d45276e75e macvlan: Skip broadcast queue if multicast with single receiver 
As it stands all broadcast and multicast packets are queued and
processed in a work queue.  This is so that we don't overwhelm
the receive softirq path by generating thousands of packets or
more (see commit 412ca1550c "macvlan: Move broadcasts into a
work queue").

As such all multicast packets will be delayed, even if they will
be received by a single macvlan device.  As using a workqueue
is not free in terms of latency, we should avoid this where possible.

This patch adds a new filter to determine which addresses should
be delayed and which ones won't.  This is done using a crude
counter of how many times an address has been added to the macvlan
port (ha->synced).  For now if an address has been added more than
once, then it will be considered to be broadcast.  This could be
tuned further by making this threshold configurable.

README 

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 Restructured Text 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.
