====================
ethtool netlink interface, part 3
Implementation of more netlink request types:
- netdev features (ethtool -k/-K, patches 3-6)
- private flags (--show-priv-flags / --set-priv-flags, patches 7-9)
- ring sizes (ethtool -g/-G, patches 10-12)
- channel counts (ethtool -l/-L, patches 13-15)
Patch 1 is a style cleanup suggested in part 2 review and patch 2 updates
the mapping between netdev features and legacy ioctl requests (which are
still used by ethtool for backward compatibility).
Changes in v2:
- fix netdev reference leaks in error path of ethnl_set_rings() and
ethnl_set_channels() (found by Jakub Kicinski)
- use __set_bit() rather than set_bit() (suggested by David Miller)
- in replies to RINGS_GET and CHANNELS_GET requests, omit ring and
channel types not supported by driver/device (suggested by Jakub
Kicinski)
- more descriptive message size calculations in rings_reply_size() and
channels_reply_size() (suggested by Jakub Kicinski)
- coding style cleanup (suggested by Jakub Kicinski)

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.
