[PATCH net-next] net/mlx5e: Add hds-thresh query support via ethtool
From: Tariq Toukan
Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 06:54:58 EST
From: Nimrod Oren <noren@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add support for reporting HDS (Header-Data Split) threshold via
ethtool. When applicable, mlx5 hardware splits packets of all sizes with
no configurable threshold, so report both hds-thresh and hds-thresh-max
as 0 (i.e. always split regardless of size).
