Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:26:54 +0000 From: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@...arflare.com> To: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: Peter Waskiewicz <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@...el.com>, netdev@...r.kernel.org 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.
