The MLX5 device supports up to 256 MAC addresses. The code flushes all MAC devices.
If DPDK is compiled with MLX5_DEBUG this would an assert. PANIC in mlx5_nl_mac_addr_flush(): line 775 assert "(size_t)(i) < sizeof(mac_own) * 8" failed The root cause is that mac_own is a pointer and is being used as a bitmap array. The sizeof(mac_own) would therfore be 64 but the number of entries to be flushed would be 256. There is a whole set of asserts in MLX5 netlink code with the same bug; that should just be changed into proper error checks.
