From 7af3351f71f4b3b5dbccb66cdc9b097052760a7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:26:54 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: Don't flush n-tuple list from ethtool_reset() The n-tuple list should be flushed if and only if the ETH_RESET_FILTER flag is set and the driver is able to reset filtering/flow direction hardware without also resetting a component whose flag is not set. This test is best left to the driver. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.
