From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

Instead of forcing device drivers to provide empty ethtool_ops or tweak
net/core/ethtool.c again, we could provide a generic ethtool_ops.

This occurred to me when I wanted to add GSO support to GRE tunnels.
ethtool -k support should be generic for all drivers.

Any cleanups like this are always nice to see.

Yes, I should have done this ages ago.  Just some nit-picking below:

This block has a blank line in it, so I think it needs a blank line
either side to make the visual grouping of code right.  Alternately you
could pull the variable out of the block.

Good point but an unrelated change.

Introducing this local variable is a useful cleanup but again should be
a separate change.

Blank line is preferred after a variable declaration in a function.

I dont feel the need to make this variable visible outside of this
function yet. But if you feel it, no problem.

Its related, because I wanted to make clear (at least for me)
why assuming dev->ethtool_ops was not NULL at this point was valid.

Its a patch meant for net-next, and a cleanup. I could understand your
point if we had to backport this to stable trees, buts its not the
case ?

I really dont care, so if you really prefer I dont cleanup ethtool.c, so
be it.

Some functions test dev->ethtool_ops is NULL, others lack this test.
This just makes no sense to me, maybe there is something I missed.

Thanks

[PATCH v2 net-next] net: provide a default dev->ethtool_ops

Instead of forcing device drivers to provide empty ethtool_ops or tweak
net/core/ethtool.c again, we could provide a generic ethtool_ops.

This occurred to me when I wanted to add GSO support to GRE tunnels.
ethtool -k support should be generic for all drivers.

Yes but:

	when the previous statement is right next to;
	the start of the block {
		the variable declaration is visually grouped with that;

		rather than with the statement that uses it;
	}

So we know it won't change under us?  But that is also true of
dev->netdev_ops, which is often used with a finer-grained lock.

Most of those checks are probably redundant, and I see no problem with
your removing them.  It was just that you were also changing various
other references to dev->ethtool_ops to use local variables.
