Subject: [PATCH ethtool v2 1/2] netlink: rings: require a value for hds-thresh
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 10:51:20 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102185122.1357927-2-dave.seddon.ca@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102185122.1357927-1-dave.seddon.ca@gmail.com>

hds-thresh (-G) takes a value, but its parser entry sets min_argc to 0.
Given as the last word on the line, the value handler reads the NULL
that ends argv and the error message prints it:

  # ethtool -G eth0 hds-thresh
  ethtool (-G): invalid value '(null)' for parameter 'hds-thresh'

Set min_argc to 1, as every other value-taking parameter does, so the
parser reports the missing value itself:

  # ethtool -G eth0 hds-thresh
  ethtool (-G): no value for parameter 'hds-thresh'

Only the message changes: the exit status was already 1 and no request
was sent.

Fixes: 66e5dcf295c0 ("ethtool: Add support for configuring hds-thresh")
