From 38c891a49dec43dbb1575cc40d10dbd49c4961ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 01:07:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: Improve explanation of the two arrays following struct ethtool_rxfh The use of two variable-length arrays is unusual so deserves a bit more explanation.
