From: Jakub Kicinski hds_thresh and hds_config are both inside struct netdev_config but have quite different semantics. hds_config is the user config with ternary semantics (on/off/unset). hds_thresh is a straight up value, populated by the driver at init and only modified by user space. We don't expect the drivers to have to pick a special hds_thresh value based on other configuration. The two approaches have different advantages and downsides. hds_thresh ("direct value") gives core easy access to current device settings, but there's no way to express whether the value comes from the user. It also requires the initialization by the driver. hds_config ("user config values") tells us what user wanted, but doesn't give us the current value in the core. Try to explain this a bit in the comments, so at we make a conscious choice for new values which semantics we expect. Move the init inside ethtool_ringparam_get_cfg() to reflect the semantics. Commit 216a61d33c07 ("net: ethtool: fix ethtool_ringparam_get_cfg() returns a hds_thresh value always as 0.") added the setting for the benefit of netdevsim which doesn't touch the value at all on get. Again, this is just to clarify the intention, shouldn't cause any functional change.
