Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/3] selftests: drv-net: Check the features set by set_ethtool_feat()
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 11:25:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918112529.96039-3-ovidiu.panait.rb@renesas.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918112529.96039-1-ovidiu.panait.rb@renesas.com>

Read back the features after running ethtool -K to check if they were
actually applied. The drivers might refuse to set a feature silently and
the test could run with a different configuration than the requested one.

Add a 'check' parameter to skip this, as the GRO "hw" mode handles the
case where HW GRO is cleared by the driver.
