net: ethtool: re-order local includes

2026-03-21T02:10:18+00:00

Most local #include in the ethtool command handling is out of order, with either : #include "netlink.h" #include "common.h" or even : #include "netlink.h" #include "common.h" #include "bitset.h" One of the reasons is because bitset.h s lacking definitions for nlattr, netlink_ext_ack, ETH_GSTRING_LEN, and types such as u32, bool, etc. Make bitset.h standalone by including for ETH_GSTRING_LEN, and for nlattr, netlink_ext_ack and the rest. While at it, take a pass on ethnl sources to re-order the local includes : - put them after the global includes - add a newline between global and local includes - alpha-sort the local includes One notable exception is the cmis.h include, that needs definitions from module_fw.h. Keep them in this order for now. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260319180555.1531386-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

ethtool: netlink: always pass genl_info to .prepare_data

2023-08-15T22:01:03+00:00

We had a number of bugs in the past because developers forgot to fully test dumps, which pass NULL as info to .prepare_data. .prepare_data implementations would try to access info->extack leading to a null-deref. Now that dumps and notifications can access struct genl_info we can pass it in, and remove the info null checks.
