i40e: use priv flags to control packet split
Ethtool priv flags implementation to enable or disable packet split, which
is a hardware feature that inspects headers and will put headers in a
separate DMA buffer from the payload data. The driver was automatically
choosing to enable packet split in some cases and this gives the user the
ability to turn it off/on explicitly.
to query state:
ethtool --show-priv-flags ethx
to enable:
ethtool --set-priv-flags ethx packet-split on
to disable:
ethtool --set-priv-flags ethx packet-split off
Why would anyone want this?
Because some environments benefit from header/data split in the receive
buffer, and the driver defaults to one or the other depending on
environment/kernel parameters.
Why didn't you implement a generic ethtool control for this feature?
Because Intel hardware is the only hardware that supports header/data
split.
