Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] shared/net-util-linux: add support for retrieving NIC h/w queues
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 13:25:00 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921075511.2108561-3-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921075511.2108561-1-nilay@linux.ibm.com>

Add a new shared helper, shr_netdev_get_hw_queues(), which retrieves the
NIC h/w queue details using ethtool ioctl ETHTOOL_GCHANNELS.

This is a preparatory patch. A subsequent patch will use this helper
to determine the h/w queue details when calculating the default
--nr-io-queues value for NVMe/TCP connections.
