From 95491e3cf37840c518d81e1a3a6a8ef554e03c54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Niklas=20S=C3=B6derlund?= Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 01:32:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: ethtool: remove error check for legacy setting transceiver type MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Commit 9cab88726929605 ("net: ethtool: Add back transceiver type") restores the transceiver type to struct ethtool_link_settings and convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings() but forgets to remove the error check for the same in convert_legacy_settings_to_link_ksettings(). This prevents older versions of ethtool to change link settings. # ethtool --version ethtool version 3.16 # ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument not setting speed not setting duplex not setting autoneg While newer versions of ethtool works. # ethtool --version ethtool version 4.10 # ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full [ 57.703268] sh-eth ee700000.ethernet eth0: Link is Down [ 59.618227] sh-eth ee700000.ethernet eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control rx/tx Fixes: 19cab88726929605 ("net: ethtool: Add back transceiver type") Signed-off-by: Niklas Söderlund Reported-by: Renjith R V Tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Signed-off-by: David S.
