[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] net/mlx4: refactor RSS conversion functions

[Shahaf Shuler]

Hi Adrien,

Please help me walkthrough this logic. Something doesn't end up correctly.

Let's assume:
Types = IBV_RX_HASH_SRC_IPV4 | IBV_RX_HASH_DST_IPV4
And verbs_to_dpdk=1

Types != 0 , we skip.

After this loop:
seen = (IBV_RX_HASH_SRC_PORT_IPV4 | IBV_RX_HASH_DST_IPV4)
conv = dpdk[IPV4] | dpdk[IPV4_TCP] | dpdk[IPV4_UDP]

All types were seen && verbs_to_dpdk hence returning that PMD support RSS based on IPV4 | TCPV4 | UDPV4
While according to the reported capabilities form kernel only IPV4 is supported.
