Until now, vmxnet3 was default reporting 10Gbps as link speed.
Vmxnet3 v9 adds support for user to configure higher link speeds.
User can configure the link speed via VMs advanced parameters options
in VCenter. This speed is reported in gbps by hypervisor.

This patch adds support for vmxnet3 to report higher link speeds and
converts it to mbps as expected by Linux stack.

Hi Ronak,

I think it would be nice to add a comment regarding the logic added below,
particularly the inequality.  It took me more than one reading to
understand it in the presence of the patch description. I expected may have
remained a mystery without some accompanying text.

Please consider limiting Networking code to 80 columns wide where it
can trivially be achieved, as appears to be the case here.

checkpatch can be run with an option to flag this.

net-next is currently closed for the v6.12 merge window.
Please repost this patch after it reopens, which will be after
v6.12-rc1 is released, most likely a little under two weeks from now.
