Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 01/12] ethtool: Add dump_one_dev callback for per-device sub-iteration
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 15:50:08 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325145022.2607545-2-bjorn@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325145022.2607545-1-bjorn@kernel.org>
Add the dump_one_dev callback to ethnl_request_ops, allowing commands
to provide custom per-device dump logic with sub-positioning. Extend
ethnl_dump_ctx with ifindex and pos_sub fields.
No functional change; no command uses dump_one_dev yet.
Signed-off-by: Björn Töpel <bjorn@kernel.org>
