From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <niko...@cumulusnetworks.com> Hi, Patch 1 adds ethtool speed/duplex validation functions which check if the value is defined. Patch 2 adds support for ethtool (get|set)_settings and uses the validation functions to check the user-supplied values.
v2: split in 2 patches to allow everyone to make use of the validation functions and allow virtio_net devices to be half duplex v3: added a check to return error if the user tries to change anything else besides duplex/speed as per Michael's comment v4: Set port type to PORT_OTHER v5: clear diff1.port (ignore port) when checking for changes since we set it now and ethtool uses it in the set request Sorry about the pointless iterations, should've all covered now. Cheers, Nik Nikolay Aleksandrov (2): ethtool: add speed/duplex validation functions virtio_net: add ethtool support for set and get of settings drivers/net/virtio_net.c | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 94 insertions(+) -- 2.4.3
