These first two patches lay the groundwork for moving ixgbe over to using the network flow classifier interface instead of the ntuple interface. This will eventually allow for ixgbe to be able to maintain its own rule list, add support for removal of filters, and will correct the multiple display issues seen with ntuple filters. --- Alexander Duyck (2): ethtool: add ntuple flow specifier data to network flow classifier ethtool: prevent null pointer dereference with NTUPLE set but no set_rx_ntuple include/linux/ethtool.h | 52 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ net/core/ethtool.c | 3 +++ net/socket.c | 14 ++++++------- 3 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) --
