From 47b95959941b3d7d2d35a128da5685799329aaf6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Chan Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 18:55:47 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ethtool: Fix the "advertise" parameter logic. The current code ignores the value of the advertise parameter. For example, ethtool -s ethx advertise 0x1000 The full_advertising_wanted parameter of 0x1000 is not passed to the kernel. The reason is that advertising_wanted is NULL in this case, and ethtool will think that the user has given no advertisement input and so it will proceed to pass all supported advertisement speeds to the kernel. The older legacy ethtool with similar logic worked because advertising_wanted was an integer and could take on -1 and 0. It would pass the full_advertising_wanted value if advertising_wanted == -1. This fix is to pass all supported advertisement speeds only when both advertising_wanted == NULL && full_advertising_wanted == NULL. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: John W.
