Hello Andrew, Ian,

The reta_size info is linked to being able to update the RSS RETA.

I don't think it is a bug for the moment to report 0, as long as
failsafe does not support RETA update. Now, the reta_update ops could be
quickly implemented in failsafe, but that should be a new feature.

Did you hit an issue with it?
