    ethtool: provide string sets with STRSET_GET request · 71921690
    Michal Kubecek authored
    Requests a contents of one or more string sets, i.e. indexed arrays of
    strings; this information is provided by ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO and
    ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS commands of ioctl interface. Unlike ioctl interface, all
    information can be retrieved with one request and mulitple string sets can
    be requested at once.
    
    There are three types of requests:
    
      - no NLM_F_DUMP, no device: get "global" stringsets
      - no NLM_F_DUMP, with device: get string sets related to the device
      - NLM_F_DUMP, no device: get device related string sets for all devices
    
    Client can request either all string sets of given type (global or device
    related) or only specific sets. With ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_COUNTS flag set, only
    set sizes (numbers of strings) are returned.
