Debatable -- the current comment is located at the callsite of ops->get_sset_count(), which is where an implementor might think to add a new call. Not all the numeric fields in ethtool_drvinfo are obtained from ->get_sset_count(). Hence the "some" in the attached patch to include/linux/ethtool.h, addressing your comment. > [...] >> +static noinline int ethtool_get_sset_info(struct net_device *dev, >> + void __user *useraddr) >> +{ > [...] >> + /* calculate size of return buffer */ >> + for (i = 0; i< 64; i++) >> + if (sset_mask& (1ULL<< i)) >> + n_bits++; > [...] > > We have a function for this: > > n_bits = hweight64(sset_mask); Agreed. I've attached a follow-up patch, which should enable my/Jeff's kernel patch to be applied, followed by this one. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: David S.
