And besides, one can argue that in the SR-IOV scenario the VF has no business knowing the physical port speed. Good point, but there are more use-cases we should consider. For example, when using Multi-Host/Flex-10/Multi-PF each PF should be able to query both physical port speed and actual

[PATCH RFC 0/2] ethtool: Add actual port speed reporting

2016-11-02 Thread Gal Pressman
Sending RFC to get feedback for the following ethtool proposal: In some cases such as virtual machines and multi functions (SR-IOV), the actual bandwidth exposed for each machine is not accurately shown in ethtool. Currently ethtool shows only physical port link speed. In our case we would like
