From 95bd481686a4848a902a340c4b4b1673cf97092f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stanislaw Gruszka Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2011 23:54:49 +0000 Subject: net: fix ethtool->set_flags not intended -EINVAL return value commit 673e63c688f43104c73aad8ea4237f7ad41fa14d upstream. After commit d5dbda23804156ae6f35025ade5307a49d1db6d7 "ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX, and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not match current settings and can not be changed by driver. Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future (also on drivers that do not have the problem). Tested with modified (to reproduce this bug) myri10ge driver. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Signed-off-by: David S.
