Subject: [PATCH iwl-next 3/8] ixgbe: prevent adding duplicate FDIR perfect filter rules
Date: Fri,  8 May 2026 05:12:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508031226.3601800-4-aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260508031226.3601800-1-aleksandr.loktionov@intel.com>

From: Piotr Skajewski <piotrx.skajewski@intel.com>

When the same flow specification is added twice (same 5-tuple with
different sw_idx values), ixgbe_add_ethtool_fdir_entry() silently
programs the duplicate into hardware using a second FDIR table slot.
This wastes a scarce FDIR entry and can cause confusing behaviour
when deleting rules.

Add a helper ixgbe_match_ethtool_fdir_entry() that walks the in-kernel
filter list before programming hardware.  If an entry with an
identical filter (excluding the sw_idx) already exists, the new add
request is rejected with -EEXIST.
