ethtool: reject unrecognized request flags
As pointed out by Jakub Kicinski, we ethtool netlink code should respond with an error if request head has flags set which are not recognized by kernel, either as a mistake or because it expects functionality introduced in later kernel versions. To avoid unnecessary roundtrips, use extack cookie to provide the information about supported request flags. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek <mkubecek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.
