After assembling the new private flags on a PF, the operation to determine
the changed flags uses the wrong bitmaps. Instead of xor-ing orig_flags
with new_flags, it uses the still unchanged pf->flags, thus changed_flags
is always 0.
Fix it by using the correct bitmaps.
The issue was discovered while debugging why disabling source pruning
stopped working with release 6.7. Although the new flags will be copied to
pf->flags later on in that function, disabling source pruning requires
a reset of the PF, which was skipped due to this bug.
Disabling source pruning:
$ sudo ethtool --set-priv-flags eno1 disable-source-pruning on
$ sudo ethtool --show-priv-flags eno1
Private flags for eno1:
MFP : off
total-port-shutdown : off
LinkPolling : off
flow-director-atr : on
veb-stats : off
hw-atr-eviction : off
link-down-on-close : off
legacy-rx : off
disable-source-pruning: on
disable-fw-lldp : off
rs-fec : off
base-r-fec : off
vf-vlan-pruning : off
Regarding reproducing:
I observed the issue with a rather complicated lab setup, where
* two VLAN interfaces are created on eno1
* each with a different MAC address assigned
* each moved into a separate namespace
* both VLANs are bridged externally, so they form a single layer 2 network
The external bridge is done via a channel emulator adding packet loss and
delay and the application in the namespaces tries to send/receive traffic
and measure the performance. Sender and receiver are separated by
namespaces, yet the network card "sees its own traffic" send back to it.
To make that work, source pruning has to be disabled.

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.
