The link speed is never changed for the uptime of a VM, and the current
implementation sends an admin queue command for each call. Admin queue
command invocations have nontrivial overhead (e.g., VM exits), which can
be disruptive to users if triggered frequently. Our telemetry data shows
that there are VMs that make frequent calls to this admin queue command.
Caching the result of the original admin queue command would eliminate
the need to send multiple admin queue commands on subsequent calls to
retrieve link speed.

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.
