** Description changed: + SRU Justification: + ------------------ + + * This is more a request (rather than a bug) to add support for the newest OSA-Express7S (network-) card, + so that even cosmic and bionic users should be able to benefit from it. + + * The support became upstream accepted with 4.20, mainly with commit + + [Test Case] + + * Due to the absence of that particular card in our (Canonical) system, + the testing is up to IBM. + + * The recognition of the card type itself can be done via 'lsqeth | grep + card_type', + + * and the functionality can be tested by network test tools, like + stress-ng. + + * A regression test can of course be done on our (Canonical) system. + + [Regression Potential] + + * The regression potential can be considered as low since it only + affects the s390x platform + + * and there only the qeth driver/module. + + * The patch itself is less complex and adds mainly lines and fields for + the recognition of the new card. + + * The entire code needed is already included in disco and a sniff test was done based on disco's kernel 5.0. + __________ + Function: Provide enhanced link speed for OSA networks Business Case: Improved performance with OSA networks Available with kernel 4.20 Git-Commit: s390/qeth: report 25Gbit link speed [54e049c227]
