Subject: [PATCH] net-sysfs: Report link speed as signed integer
Date: Mon,  2 Jun 2014 16:25:15 +0200
Message-Id: <06d53256e3bf2d0deedb16249082200500da3ee6.1401718809.git.mprivozn@redhat.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org

The link speed is available at /sys/class/net/$nic/speed.
However, the speed is printed in unsigned integer format. This
makes userspace applications read an incorrect value (which
moreover changes through several architectures) while in fact
'-1' should be reported.

Before the change:
  # cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed
  4294967295

After the change:
  # cat /sys/class/net/eth0/speed
  -1
