It is guaranteed to be at least a number of bytes long equal to the length of the MAC plugin's address length. For Ethernet devices that length is six bytes, .Sy ETHERADDRL . .El .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn mc_multicst entry point is used to program a device driver's multicast filters. For more background on filter management, see the .Sx MAC Address Filter Management section in .Xr mac 9E . .Pp The device driver can optionally sanity check .Fa mac by making sure that it's both a valid multicast address and by checking whether or not it's already programmed the address. Based on the value of .Fa add , the driver should either add the specified address, .Fa mac , or remove it from its filter tables. The device driver is not responsible for any form of reference counting on these requests: that is maintained by the broader framework. .Pp The device driver can access its own device soft state by casting the .Fa device pointer. The device driver should employ the appropriate locking while updating and manipulating its filter tables and its own records. It is recommended that device drivers always maintain a copy of the addresses programmed into the device's filter tables so that they can more easily recover from various device resets and errors, or handle requests to suspend and resume the device that may result in the device registers being cleared. .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the device driver should return .Sy 0 . Otherwise, the driver should return a positive error number to indicate why the request failed. .Sh EXAMPLES The following example shows how a device driver might structure its .Fn mc_multicst entry point. .Bd -literal #include /* * Note, this example merely shows the structure of this function. * Different devices will have different ways to manage the set of * multicast MAC addresses that they can program into their filters and * they have different ways of keeping track of them.

While this list is not intended to be exhaustive, it is recommended to use one of these if possible. .Bl -tag -width Er .It Er EINVAL The address .Fa mac is not a valid unicast address. .It Er EIO The driver encountered a device or transport error while trying to update the device's state. .It Er ENOENT The device driver was asked to remove a multicast address that it does not have. .It Er ENOSPC The driver was asked to add a multicast address; however, it has no more filter slots available to program the entry. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mac 9E , .Xr mac_register 9F , .Xr mac_register 9S
