In future releases the NIC application firmware may be indifferent to port speeds - not built for specific port speeds - and consequently it will not be able to report VF port speeds to the driver without first learning them. With this change, the driver will pass the speed of physical ports from management firmware to application firmware, and the latter will copy the speed of port 0 to all the active VFs. So that the driver can get VF port speed as before. The port speed of a VF may be requested from userspace using: ethtool <vf-intf> Signed-off-by: Yinjun Zhang <yinjun.zhang@corigine.com> Reviewed-by: Louis Peens <louis.peens@corigine.com> Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <simon.horman@corigine.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
