Matthias Schiffer says: ==================== Implement get_link_ksettings for VXLAN and bridge Mesh routing protocol batman-adv (in particular the new BATMAN_V algorithm) uses the link speed reported by get_link_ksettings to determine a path metric for wired links. In the mesh framework Gluon [1], we layer VXLAN and sometimes bridge interfaces on our Ethernet links. These patches implement get_link_ksettings for these two interface types. While this is obviously not accurate for bridges with multiple active ports, it's much better than having no estimate at all (and in the particular setup of Gluon, bridges with a single port aren't completely uncommon).

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.
