From f01204ec8be7ea5e8f0230a7d4200e338d563bde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Mikityanskiy Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2020 16:34:07 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: Don't omit the netlink reply if no features were changed The legacy ethtool userspace tool shows an error when no features could be changed. It's useful to have a netlink reply to be able to show this error when __netdev_update_features wasn't called, for example: 1. ethtool -k eth0 large-receive-offload: off 2. ethtool -K eth0 rx-fcs on 3. ethtool -K eth0 lro on Could not change any device features rx-lro: off [requested on] 4. ethtool -K eth0 lro on # The output should be the same, but without this patch the kernel # doesn't send the reply, and ethtool is unable to detect the error. This commit makes ethtool-netlink always return a reply when requested, and it still avoids unnecessary calls to __netdev_update_features if the wanted features haven't changed.
