Follow up commit 9690ae604290 ("ethtool: add header/data split
indication") and add the set part of Ethtool's header split, i.e.
ability to enable/disable header split via the Ethtool Netlink
interface. This might be helpful to optimize the setup for particular
workloads, for example, to avoid XDP frags, and so on.
A driver should advertise ``ETHTOOL_RING_USE_TCP_DATA_SPLIT`` in its
ops->supported_ring_params to allow doing that. "Unknown" passed from
the userspace when the header split is supported means the driver is
free to choose the preferred state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
