Implement CHANNELS_SET netlink request to set channel counts of a network device. These are traditionally set with ETHTOOL_SCHANNELS ioctl request. Like the ioctl implementation, the generic ethtool code checks if supplied values do not exceed driver defined limits; if they do, first offending attribute is reported using extack. Checks preventing removing channels used for RX indirection table or zerocopy AF_XDP socket are also implemented. Move ethtool_get_max_rxfh_channel() helper into common.c so that it can be used by both ioctl and netlink code. v2: - fix netdev reference leak in error path (found by Jakub Kicinsky) Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
