I requested a Coverity scan of the current ethtool sources. There weren't many issues identified, but it was non-zero.
Most/all of the resource leak issues can be explained away as unimportant due to the fact that ethtool invocations are short-term processes. Nevertheless, I prefer to have those issues "fixed" both to avoid them as distractions and just to promote better coding practices overall. These are "fresh off the press" -- I'll re-review them again before applying and pushing them. I appreciate any extra eyeballs that can review them as well. John -- John W.
