From 14596f7006297b67516e2b6a2b26bcb11fe08fb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:51:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: Clarify use of size field for ETHTOOL_GRXFHINDIR In order to find out the device's RX flow hash table size, ethtool initially uses ETHTOOL_GRXFHINDIR with a buffer size of zero. This must be supported, but it is not necessary to support any other user buffer size less than the device table size. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.
