From 88d3aafdae5c5e1d2dd9489a5c8a24e29d335f2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Garzik Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2007 14:41:06 -0700 Subject: [ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctls For the operations get-tx-csum get-sg get-tso get-ufo the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior. This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls. The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation -- a not-uncommon case. Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a later date.
