From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay at cumulusnetworks.com> This patch allows the user to set and retrieve speed and duplex of the virtio_net device via ethtool. Having this functionality is very helpful for simulating different environments and also enables the virtio_net device to participate in operations where proper speed and duplex are required (e.g. currently bonding lacp mode

The ability to set speed and duplex for virtio_net is useful in various scenarios as described here: 16032be virtio_net: add ethtool support for set and get of settings However, it would be nice to be able to set this from the hypervisor, such that virtio_net doesn't require custom guest ethtool commands. Introduce a new feature flag, VIRTIO_NET_F_SPEED_DUPLEX, which allows the hypervisor

We have found it useful to be able to set the linkspeed and duplex settings from the host-side for virtio_net. This obviates the need for guest changes and settings for these fields, and does not require custom ethtool commands for virtio_net. The ability to set linkspeed and duplex is useful in various cases as described here: 16032be virtio_net: add ethtool support for set and get of settings

Speed and duplex config fields depend on VIRTIO_NET_F_SPEED_DUPLEX which being 63>31 depends on VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1. Accordingly, use LE accessors for these fields.

In prepartion for using some of the high order feature bits, make sure that virtio-net uses 64-bit values everywhere. Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron at akamai.com> Cc: "Michael S.

Although linkspeed and duplex can be set in a linux guest via 'ethtool -s', this requires custom ethtool commands for virtio-net by default. Introduce a new feature flag, VIRTIO_NET_F_SPEED_DUPLEX, which allows the hypervisor to export a linkspeed and duplex setting. The user can subsequently overwrite it later if desired via: 'ethtool -s'. Linkspeed and duplex settings can be
