Really? It's a count of the number of cached filters. Is it just so we
don't overflow? I don't have any strong preference, so I can update this.

The userspace side does before it calls the ioctl. It will abort with a
-EOPNOTSUPP (just tested with igb - properly aborted).

The goal was to give a generic way to dump what was programmed, if an
underlying driver didn't want to implement the ->get_rx_ntuple()
operation. The two ways I could think of doing it was dump the list the
way I did, and provide a strings blob to ethtool (like stats), or try and
package the structs into a list, copy that to userspace, and let ethtool
generate the blobs.
I agree that an underlying driver will have much of the same in terms of
what it generates, but it will not be restricted to how it stores the
items. In other words, if ixgbe wanted to retrieve all 8192 filters, we
could avoid the caching altogether, and pull directly from HW when the
call is made from ethtool. One way or another, there's going to be a big
amount of copied data from kernel space to user space. This was the
approach I thougt would be the most useful without defining a kernel to
userspace chain of flow spec structs.

ixgbe uses nway_reset to perform a MAC-level reset. This is silly, but it
affected this decision, which was a poor one. My plan is to pull all the
remove operations and make a helper function, and then only call it in the
core on free_netdev(). Then the base drivers can call it where needed to
clear their respective lists.
