From f7918b79019f13ece815b2a88bab12974793aed1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Abeni Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2021 10:41:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] veth: always report zero combined channels veth get_channel currently reports for channels being both RX/TX and combined. As Jakub noted: """ ethtool man page is relatively clear, unfortunately the kernel code is not and few read the man page. A channel is approximately an IRQ, not a queue, and IRQ can't be dedicated and combined simultaneously """ This patch changes the information exposed by veth_get_channels, setting max_combined to zero, being more consistent with the above statement. The ethtool_channels is always cleared by the caller, we just need to avoid setting the 'combined' fields. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S.
