Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH] ethtool: update get_rx_ntuple to correctly interpret string count
Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2011 15:29:48 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110104232947.3451.91153.stgit@gitlad.jf.intel.com> (raw)

Currently any strings returned via the get_rx_ntuple call will just be
dropped because the num_strings will be zero.  In order to correct this I
am updating things so that the return value of get_rx_ntuple is the number
of strings that were written, or a negative value if there was an error.
