[PATCH net] ethernet/sfc: report supported link speeds on SFP connections

From: Jarod Wilson
Date: Thu Jun 02 2016 - 21:33:41 EST


My solarflare cards connected to a 10GbE switch with an SFP+ module/cable
don't currently report any supported link speeds:

$ ethtool ens4f0
Settings for ens4f0:
Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]
Supported link modes: Not reported
Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: Not reported
Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Link partner advertised link modes: 10000baseKX4/Full
Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: 10000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: FIBRE
PHYAD: 255
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted
Current message level: 0x000020f7 (8439)
drv probe link ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err hw
Link detected: yes

I've navigated my way through the sfc code down to mcdi_to_ethtool_cap's
switch on media's MC_CMD_MEDIA_SFP_PLUS case, where no speeds are set.
If we just do some cap checks similar to the MC_CMD_MEDIA_KX4 case, I get
the expected output:

$ ethtool ens4f0
Settings for ens4f0:
Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]
Supported link modes: 1000baseKX/Full
10000baseKX4/Full
Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: Not reported
Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Link partner advertised link modes: 10000baseKX4/Full
Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric
Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: 10000Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: FIBRE
PHYAD: 255
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted
Current message level: 0x000020f7 (8439)
drv probe link ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err hw
Link detected: yes

This is from an sfc9120 interface here. It also applies to a 9140 with a
10GbE breakout cable.

Side note: wiring up Advertised by simply copying Supported seems to be a
thing many other drivers do. Worth doing here?...
