Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] virtio_net: better ethtool setting validation

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...ulusnetworks.com>

Hi,
This small set is a follow-up for the recent patches that added ethtool
get/set settings. Patch 1 changes the speed validation routine to check
if the speed is between 0 and INT_MAX (or SPEED_UNKNOWN) and patch 2 adds
port validation to virtio_net and better validation comment.

This set is on top of Michael's patch which explains that speeds from 0
to INT_MAX are valid:

Cheers,
 Nik

Nikolay Aleksandrov (2):
  ethtool: make validate_speed accept all speeds between 0 and INT_MAX
  virtio_net: validate ethtool port setting and explain the user
    validation
