I found this useful while debugging an issue setting igb to
fixed rates.

While testing an ath10k firmware that often crashed under load,
I was seeing kernel crashes as well. One of them appeared to
be a dereference of a NULL flow object in fq_tin_dequeue.
I have since fixed the firmware flaw, but I think it would be
worth adding the WARN_ON in case

From: Ben Greear
This is similar to ETHTOOL_GSTATS, but it allows you to specify
flags. These flags can be used by the driver to decrease the
amount of stats refreshed. In particular, this helps with ath10k
since getting the firmware stats can be slow.

This enables users to request fewer stats to be refreshed
in cases where firmware does not need to be probed.

This keeps us from crashing in certain test cases where we
bring up many (1000, for instance) mac-vlans with IPv6
enabled in the kernel. This bug has been around for a
very long time.
Until a real fix is found (and for stable), maybe it
is better to return an incomplete fib wal

In systems where you may have a very large number of network
adapters, certain drivers may consume an unfair amount of
IRQ resources. So, allow a module param that will limit the
number of IRQs at driver load time. This way, other drivers

If a user restricts the rateset for some reason, then the
probe requests should not advertise rates that are not

To implement this, we save the requested bitrates at
