Merge branch 'net-sysfs-use-ops-lock-for-speed-and-duplex' Wang Zhan says: ==================== net: sysfs: use ops lock for speed and duplex Reading speed and duplex from sysfs currently holds RTNL across the get_link_ksettings callback. This unnecessarily serializes monitoring reads with unrelated rtnetlink operations. On CPU-throttled hosts, a periodic reader such as node-exporter can hold RTNL for hundreds of milliseconds while an mlx5 callback runs, delaying unrelated rtnetlink operations. Factor the shared link settings read first, then change only the helper's locking. Legacy devices and callbacks which request ETHTOOL_OP_NEEDS_RTNL_LINKSETTINGS retain the existing RTNL path. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260831080623.1064001-1-wang.zhan@smartx.com/ ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260903133314.3703381-1-wang.zhan@smartx.com Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
