From 5ff1682fec185fe7537370370f202abc454b6b3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2023 14:58:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: don't propagate EOPNOTSUPP from dumps [ Upstream commit cbeb989e41f4094f54bec2cecce993f26f547bea ] The default dump handler needs to clear ret before returning. Otherwise if the last interface returns an inconsequential error this error will propagate to user space. This may confuse user space (ethtool CLI seems to ignore it, but YNL doesn't). It will also terminate the dump early for mutli-skb dump, because netlink core treats EOPNOTSUPP as a real error.
