====================
ethtool ringparam upper bound
This patchset by Jenny adds sanity checks in ethtool ringparam
operation for input upper bounds, similarly to what's done in
ethtool_set_channels.
The checks are added in patch 1, using a call to get_ringparam
prior to calling set_ringparam NDO.
Patch 2 changes the function's behavior in mlx4_en, so that
it returns an error for out-of-range input, instead of rounding
it to closest valid, similar to mlx5e.
Patch 3 removes the upper bound checks in mlx5e_ethtool_set_ringparam
as it becomes redundant.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
