In the cited commit, copy_to_user() got called with the wrong pointer, instead of passing the actual buffer ptr to copy from, a pointer to the pointer got passed, which causes a buffer overflow calltrace to pop up when executing "ethtool -x ethX". Fix ethtool_rxnfc_copy_to_user() to use the rxnfc pointer as passed to the function, instead of a pointer to it. This fixes below call trace: [ 15.533533] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 15.539007] Buffer overflow detected (8 < 192)!
