Subject: [PATCH net-next v20 10/12] virtio_net: Add support for IPv6 ethtool steering
Date: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 16:47:05 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260205224707.16995-11-danielj@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260205224707.16995-1-danielj@nvidia.com>
Implement support for IPV6_USER_FLOW type rules.
Example:
$ ethtool -U ens9 flow-type ip6 src-ip fe80::2 dst-ip fe80::4 action 3
Added rule with ID 0
The example rule will forward packets with the specified source and
destination IP addresses to RX ring 3.

v4: commit message typo
v12:
- refactor calculate_flow_sizes. MST
- Move parse_ip6 l3_mask check to TCP/UDP patch. MST
- Set eth proto to ipv6 as needed. MST
- Also check l4_4_bytes mask is 0 in setup_ip_key_mask. MST
- Remove tclass check in setup_ip_key_mask. If it's not suppored it
will be caught in validate_classifier_selectors. MST
- Changed error return in setup_ip_key_mask to -EINVAL
v13:
- Verify nexthdr unset for ip6. MST
- Return -EINVAL if tclass is set. It's available in the struct.
v17:
- Fixed portability bugs for unaligned reads and writes. MST
