Subject: ethtool: allow ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO for users
From: =?UTF-8?q?Micha=C5=82=20Miros=C5=82aw?= <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit f80400a26a2e8bff541de12834a1134358bb6642 ]
Allow ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO ethtool ioctl() for unprivileged users.
ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS is already allowed, but is unusable without this one.
