When tcp-data-split is UNKNOWN mode, drivers arbitrarily handle it. For example, bnxt_en driver automatically enables if at least one of LRO/GRO/JUMBO is enabled. If tcp-data-split is UNKNOWN and LRO is enabled, a driver returns ENABLES of tcp-data-split, not UNKNOWN. So, `ethtool -g eth0` shows tcp-data-split is enabled. The problem is in the setting situation. In the ethnl_set_rings(), it first calls get_ringparam() to get the current driver's config. At that moment, if driver's tcp-data-split config is UNKNOWN, it returns ENABLE if LRO/GRO/JUMBO is enabled. Then, it sets values from the user and driver's current config to kernel_ethtool_ringparam. Last it calls .set_ringparam(). The driver, especially bnxt_en driver receives ETHTOOL_TCP_DATA_SPLIT_ENABLED. But it can't distinguish whether it is set by the user or just the current config. When user updates ring parameter, the new hds_config value is updated and current hds_config value is stored to old_hdsconfig. Driver's .set_ringparam() callback can distinguish a passed tcp-data-split value is came from user explicitly. If .set_ringparam() is failed, hds_config is rollbacked immediately.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
