Jakub Kicinski ec6e57beaf ethtool: rss: don't report key if device doesn't support it
marvell/otx2 and mvpp2 do not support setting different
keys for different RSS contexts. Contexts have separate
indirection tables but key is shared with all other contexts.
This is likely fine, indirection table is the most important
piece.

Don't report the key-related parameters from such drivers.
This prevents driver-errors, e.g. otx2 always writes
the main key, even when user asks to change per-context key.
The second reason is that without this change tracking
the keys by the core gets complicated. Even if the driver
correctly reject setting key with rss_context != 0,
change of the main key would have to be reflected in
the XArray for all additional contexts.

Since the additional contexts don't have their own keys
not including the attributes (in Netlink speak) seems
intuitive. ethtool CLI seems to deal with it just fine.

Having to set the flag in majority of the drivers is
a bit tedious but not reporting the key is a safer
default.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
