> These patches mainly support configuring hash functions. In detail,
> - It can get/set global hash configurations.
> * Get/set symmetric hash enable per flow type.
> * Get/set hash function type.
> - It can get/set symmetric hash enable per port.
> - Four commands have been implemented in testpmd to support testing above.
> * get_sym_hash_ena_per_port
> * set_sym_hash_ena_per_port
> * get_hash_global_config
> * set_hash_global_config
>
> It also uses constant hash keys to replace runtime generating hash keys.
> Global initialization is added to correctly put registers to an initial state.
>
> v3 changes:
> * Removed renamings in rte_ethdev.h.
> * Redesigned filter control API and its relevant structures/enums.
> * Renamed header file from rte_eth_features.h to rte_eth_ctrol.h.
> * Remove public header file of rte_i40e.h specific for i40e.
> * Added hardware initialization function during port init.
> * Used constant random hash keys in i40e PF.
> * renamed the commands in testpmd based on the redesigned filter control API.
>
> v4 changes:
> * Fixed a bug in testpmd to support 'set_sym_hash_ena_per_port'.
>
> v5 changes:
> * Integrated with filter API defined recently.
> * Remove all for filter API definition, as it has already defined and merged
> recently.
>
> v6 changes:
> * Flow type strings are used to replace Packet Classification Types, to isolate
> hardware specific things.
> * Implemented the mapping function to convert RSS offload types to Packet
> Classification Types, to isolate the real hardware specific things.
> * Removed initialization of global registers in i40e PMD, as global registers
> shouldn't be initialized per port.
> * Added more annotations to get code more understandable.
> * Corrected annotation format for documenation.
>
> v7 changes:
> * Removed swap configurations, as it is not allowed by hardware design.
> * Put symmetric hash per flow type and hash function type into
> 'RTE_ETH_HASH_FILTER_GLOBAL_CONFIG', as they are controlling global registers
> which will affects all the ports of the same NIC.
>
> v8 changes:
> * Removed redundant checks in i40e_ethdev.c.
> * Solved compile errors on ICC.
>
> v9 changes:
> * Added typo fixes in rte_eth_ctrl.h.
> * Splitted modifications in both rte_eth_ctrl.h and i40e, one patch is for ethdev,
> the other one is for i40e.
>
> Helin Zhang (5):
> i40e: use constant as the default hash keys
> ethdev: code style fixes
> ethdev: support of configuring hash functions
> i40e: support of controlling hash functions
> app/testpmd: add commands to support hash functions
Applied
