ethtool: Update ethtool_rxnfc::rule_cnt on return from ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL
A user-space process must use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT to find the number of classification rules, then allocate a buffer of the right size, then use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL to fill the buffer. If some other process inserts or deletes a rule between those two operations, the user buffer might turn out to be the wrong size. If it's too small, the return value will be -EMSGSIZE. But if it's too large, there is no indication of this. Fix this by updating the rule_cnt field on return. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
