RFC 1/1 batman-adv: ELP - use new ethtool_link_get_ksettings API

The ethtool API is changing in linux-4.6 and the B.A.T.M.A.N. V code has to be changed accordingly.

Fixes 5c3245172c01 ("batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughput")

---

This patch contains some compat code which is an attempt to implement backward compatibility with kernel <4.6. Unfortunately my attempt does not work because it is not possible to redefine something like link_settings.base.speed to something else (due to the '.' in the string).

Any suggestion? :)

RFC v2 1/1 batman-adv: ELP - use new ethtool_link_get_ksettings API

From: Antonio Quartulli <[email protected]>

The ethtool API is changing in linux-4.6 and the B.A.T.M.A.N. V code has to be changed accordingly.

Fixes 5c3245172c01 ("batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughput")

v2:
- Add pseudo-struct and wrapper function which only provides speed + duplex

Antonio, this may be a way to add some compat code for this problem. I've only did a fast compile check. So I would recommend to really test it :)

Hi Sven,

I really like this approach! thanks a lot!
By the way, you should have added your name to the list of contributor of this file though :)

How about re-sending this RFC as PATCH (with your sign-off as well) ?

Cheers,

Maybe you never noticed but my name is nowhere in the batman-adv/batctl sourcecode. The only reason why it is in alfred/packet.h: because Simon added it.

Yes, I will send it.

Kind regards,
