From 0e4d422f5f7249324ac8d1b8e12772e530787a66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emil Tantilov Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 15:20:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: do not call check_link for ethtool in ixgbe_get_settings() In ixgbe_get_settings() the link status and speed of the interface are determined based on a read from the LINKS register via the call to mac.ops.check.link(). This can cause issues where external drivers may end up with unknown speed when calling ethtool_get_setings(). Instead of calling the mac.ops.check_link() we can report the speed from the adapter structure which is populated by the driver.
