Subject: [PATCH] net: drop NETIF_F_GSO from hw_features without NETIF_F_SG
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 20:50:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110318195030.GA22350@core.hellgate.ch> (raw)

register_netdevice() removes NETIF_F_GSO from dev->features and
dev->wanted_features for hardware without NETIF_F_SG to "avoid warning from
netdev_fix_features()".

However, as the flag remains set in dev->hw_features, users trying to
enable GSO via ethtool will still end up with NETIF_F_GSO stuck in
wanted_features, resulting in a warning every time they try to change any
feature (until they use ethtool to "disable" GSO):

# ethtool -K eth2 gso on
via-rhine 0000:03:00.0: eth2: Dropping NETIF_F_GSO since no SG feature.
# ethtool -K eth2 rx on
via-rhine 0000:03:00.0: eth2: Dropping NETIF_F_GSO since no SG feature.
via-rhine 0000:03:00.0: eth2: Features changed: 0x00004380 -> 0x20004380
# ethtool -K eth2 rx off
via-rhine 0000:03:00.0: eth2: Dropping NETIF_F_GSO since no SG feature.
via-rhine 0000:03:00.0: eth2: Features changed: 0x20004380 -> 0x00004380
# ethtool -K eth2 gso off
#

With NETIF_F_GSO depending on NETIF_F_SG, it seems we should not
advertise the former as a changeable option if the latter is missing.
