ethtool: reset #lanes when lanes is omitted
If the number of lanes was forced and then subsequently the user omits this parameter, the ksettings->lanes is reset. The driver should then reset the number of lanes to the device's default for the specified speed. However, although the ksettings->lanes is set to 0, the mod variable is not set to true to indicate the driver and userspace should be notified of the changes. The consequence is that the same ethtool operation will produce different results based on the initial state. If the initial state is: $ ethtool swp1 | grep -A 3 'Speed: ' Speed: 500000Mb/s Lanes: 2 Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on then executing 'ethtool -s swp1 speed 50000 autoneg off' will yield: $ ethtool swp1 | grep -A 3 'Speed: ' Speed: 500000Mb/s Lanes: 2 Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: off While if the initial state is: $ ethtool swp1 | grep -A 3 'Speed: ' Speed: 500000Mb/s Lanes: 1 Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: off executing the same 'ethtool -s swp1 speed 50000 autoneg off' results in: $ ethtool swp1 | grep -A 3 'Speed: ' Speed: 500000Mb/s Lanes: 1 Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: off This patch fixes this behavior. Omitting lanes will always results in the driver choosing the default lane width for the chosen speed. In this scenario, regardless of the initial state, the end state will be, e.g., $ ethtool swp1 | grep -A 3 'Speed: ' Speed: 500000Mb/s Lanes: 2 Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: off Fixes: 012ce4dd ("ethtool: Extend link modes settings uAPI with lanes") Signed-off-by: Andy Roulin <aroulin@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Danielle Ratson <danieller@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/ac238d6b-8726-8156-3810-6471291dbc7f@nvidia.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
