Subject: [RFC PATCH net-2.6] net/ethtool: add multiple queue support to {get,set}_ringparams
Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:13:45 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100314014335.GA17208@serverengines.com> (raw)
With network devices and hence device drivers supporting
multiple Tx and Rx rings, currently there is no way for
ethtool to specify which Tx/Rx ring the user wants to get/set.
This patch enhances the {get,set}_ringparams by allowing
the user to specify the Tx/Rx ring id of interest.
Please review.
