With the ethtool_virtdev_set_link_ksettings function in core/ethtool.c, ibmveth, netvsc, and virtio now use the core's helper function. Funtionality changes that pertain to ibmveth driver include: 1. Changed the initial hardcoded link speed to 1GB. 2. Added support for allowing a user to change the reported link speed via ethtool. Functionality changes to the netvsc driver include: 1. When netvsc_get_link_ksettings is called, it will defer to the VF device if it exists to pull accelerated networking values, otherwise pull default or user-defined values. 2. Similarly, if netvsc_set_link_ksettings called and a VF device exists, the real values of speed and duplex are changed. Signed-off-by: Cris Forno <cforno12@linux.vnet.ibm.com> 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.
