    veth: always report zero combined channels · f7918b79
    Paolo Abeni authored
    veth get_channel currently reports for channels being both RX/TX and
    combined. As Jakub noted:
    
    """
    ethtool man page is relatively clear, unfortunately the kernel code
    is not and few read the man page. A channel is approximately an IRQ,
    not a queue, and IRQ can't be dedicated and combined simultaneously
    """
    
    This patch changes the information exposed by veth_get_channels,
    setting max_combined to zero, being more consistent with the above
    statement. The ethtool_channels is always cleared by the caller, we just
    need to avoid setting the 'combined' fields.
