Merge branch 'ethtool-rssh-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bwh/net-next
Ben Hutchings says: ==================== Pull request: Fixes for new ethtool RSS commands This addresses several problems I previously identified with the new ETHTOOL_{G,S}RSSH commands: 1. Missing validation of reserved parameters 2. Vague documentation 3. Use of unnamed magic number 4. No consolidation with existing driver operations I don't currently have access to suitable network hardware, but have tested these changes with a dummy driver that can support various combinations of operations and sizes, together with (a) Debian's ethtool 3.13 (b) ethtool 3.14 with the submitted patch to use ETHTOOL_{G,S}RSSH and minor adjustment for fixes 1 and 3. v2: Update RSS operations in vmxnet3 too ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
