ethtool: Fix preserving of wanted feature bits in netlink interface
Currently, ethtool-netlink calculates new wanted bits as: (req_wanted & req_mask) | (old_active & ~req_mask) It completely discards the old wanted bits, so they are forgotten with the next ethtool command. Sample steps to reproduce: 1. ethtool -k eth0 tx-tcp-segmentation: on # TSO is on from the beginning 2. ethtool -K eth0 tx off tx-tcp-segmentation: off [not requested] 3. ethtool -k eth0 tx-tcp-segmentation: off [requested on] 4. ethtool -K eth0 rx off # Some change unrelated to TSO 5. ethtool -k eth0 tx-tcp-segmentation: off # "Wanted on" is forgotten This commit fixes it by changing the formula to: (req_wanted & req_mask) | (old_wanted & ~req_mask), where old_active was replaced by old_wanted to account for the wanted bits. The shortcut condition for the case where nothing was changed now compares wanted bitmasks, instead of wanted to active.
