net: ethtool: add support for configuring hds-thresh
The hds-thresh option configures the threshold value of
the header-data-split.
If a received packet size is larger than this threshold value, a packet
will be split into header and payload.
The header indicates TCP and UDP header, but it depends on driver spec.
The bnxt_en driver supports HDS(Header-Data-Split) configuration at
FW level, affecting TCP and UDP too.
So, If hds-thresh is set, it affects UDP and TCP packets.
Example:
# ethtool -G <interface name> hds-thresh <value>
# ethtool -G enp14s0f0np0 tcp-data-split on hds-thresh 256
# ethtool -g enp14s0f0np0
Ring parameters for enp14s0f0np0:
Pre-set maximums:
...
HDS thresh: 1023
Current hardware settings:
...
TCP data split: on
HDS thresh: 256
The default/min/max values are not defined in the ethtool so the drivers
should define themself.
The 0 value means that all TCP/UDP packets' header and payload
will be split.
