This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ethtool: fix the check logic of at least one channel for RX/TX to the 5.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ethtool-fix-the-check-logic-of-at-least-one-channel-for-rx-tx.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From a4fc088ad4ff4a99d01978aa41065132b574b4b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yinjun Zhang <yinjun.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2021 13:51:02 +0100 Subject: ethtool: fix the check logic of at least one channel for RX/TX From: Yinjun Zhang <yinjun.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a4fc088ad4ff4a99d01978aa41065132b574b4b2 upstream. The command "ethtool -L <intf> combined 0" may clean the RX/TX channel count and skip the error path, since the attrs tb[ETHTOOL_A_CHANNELS_RX_COUNT] and tb[ETHTOOL_A_CHANNELS_TX_COUNT] are NULL in this case when recent ethtool is used. Tested using ethtool v5.10.
