[PATCH net-next v2] netdev-genl: Elide napi_id when not present

From: Joe Damato
Date: Mon Feb 03 2025 - 14:21:12 EST


There are at least two cases where napi_id may not present and the
napi_id should be elided:

1. Queues could be created, but napi_enable may not have been called
yet. In this case, there may be a NAPI but it may not have an ID and
output of a napi_id should be elided.

2. TX-only NAPIs currently do not have NAPI IDs. If a TX queue happens
to be linked with a TX-only NAPI, elide the NAPI ID from the netlink
output as a NAPI ID of 0 is not useful for users.

v2:
- Updated to elide NAPI IDs for RX queues which may have not called
napi_enable yet.
