Ido Schimmel says: ==================== selftests: Add ethtool and scale tests This patch set adds generic ethtool tests and a mlxsw-specific router scale test for Spectrum-2. Patches #1-#2 from Danielle add the router scale test for Spectrum-2. It re-uses the same test as Spectrum-1, but it is invoked with a different scale, according to what it is queried from devlink-resource. Patches #3-#5 from Amit are a re-work of the ethtool tests that were posted in the past [1]. Patches #3-#4 add the necessary library routines, whereas patch #5 adds the test itself. The test checks both good and bad flows with autoneg on and off. The test plan it detailed in the commit message. Last time Andrew and Florian (copied) provided very useful feedback that is incorporated in this set. Namely: * Parse the value of the different link modes from /usr/include/linux/ethtool.h * Differentiate between supported and advertised speeds and use the latter in autoneg tests * Make the test generic and move it to net/forwarding/ instead of being mlxsw-specific [1] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1112903/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
