[PATCH net v2] ethtool: netlink: Add missing ethnl_ops_begin/complete

From: Ludvig Pärsson
Date: Wed Jan 17 2024 - 07:03:42 EST


Accessing an ethernet device that is powered off or clock gated might
cause the CPU to hang. Add ethnl_ops_begin/complete in
ethnl_set_features() to protect against this.

Fixes: 0980bfcd6954 ("ethtool: set netdev features with FEATURES_SET request")
