Danielle Ratson says: ==================== Support setting lanes via ethtool Some speeds can be achieved with different number of lanes. For example, 100Gbps can be achieved using two lanes of 50Gbps or four lanes of 25Gbps. This patchset adds a new selector that allows ethtool to advertise link modes according to their number of lanes and also force a specific number of lanes when autonegotiation is off. Advertising all link modes with a speed of 100Gbps that use two lanes: $ ethtool -s swp1 speed 100000 lanes 2 autoneg on Forcing a speed of 100Gbps using four lanes: $ ethtool -s swp1 speed 100000 lanes 4 autoneg off ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210202180612.325099-1-danieller@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
