  Currently, link speed to string only supports specific speeds, like 10M,
100M, 1G etc.

This patch expands support for any link speed which is over 1M and one
decimal place will kept for display at most.

NACK

Nothing good will happen if you try to use the function to
print two different link speeds in one log message.

You are right.
And use malloc for "name" will result in memory leakage, which is also
not a good option.

BTW, do you think if we need to modify the function 
"rte_eth_link_speed_to_str"?

IMHO it would be more pain than gain in this case.

If ETH_SPEED_NUM_xyz values was an enum instead of #define, the default case could be removed from this switch, and the compiler would emit a warning if a new ETH_SPEED_NUM_xyz was introduced without adding a case for it in this function.

But, according to some coding standard, default case should be added in
"switch case" syntax.

It can be option to update the API as following in next ABI break release:

const char *
rte_eth_link_speed_to_str(uint32_t link_speed, char *buf, size_t buf_size);

For this a deprecation notice needs to be sent and approved, not sure
though if it worth.


Meanwhile, what do you think to update string 'Invalid' to something
like 'Irregular' or 'Erratic', does this help to convey the right message?

API versioning is possible here.

Agree, ABI versioning can be used here.

@Connor, what do you think?

Updating patch status as rejected, if you still pursue the feature
please send a separate patch that updates the API via ABI versioning.

Thanks,
