[PATCH net-next v21 07/13] ethtool: Introduce ethtool_flow_type_mask()

Shahar Shitrit <[email protected]> Mon, 3 Aug 2026 17:07:15 +0300
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.virtualization,org.kernel.vger.netdev
Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add a common ethtool_flow_type_mask() helper to mask extension bits
from an ethtool flow type.

Move the helper to include/linux/ethtool.h and convert mlx5e and
mlx5i to use it, removing duplicate implementations.
