Configuring RSS for GTP flows via ethtool, e.g.
ethtool -N <if> rx-flow-hash gtpu4 sde
is accepted but has no effect: the hash of GTP-U packets does not
include the TEID, so all traffic between a given SGW/PGW pair lands on
a single Rx queue. The GTP RSS configurations the driver installs by
default at VSI init are affected the same way.
ice_flow_set_rss_seg_info() does not set IPV_OTHER on GTP segments, and
such a segment carries no L4 header bit either. ice_flow_proc_seg_hdrs()
therefore takes the "no L4" branch and ANDs the PTYPE set with
ice_ptypes_ipv4_ofos_no_l4, or ice_ptypes_ipv4_il_no_l4 for the inner
segment. Neither holds a GTP PTYPE, so ANDing with ice_ptypes_gtpu
leaves the set empty: the profile matches no packet at all and the
configured TEID field never enters the hash.
Set IPV_OTHER on GTP segments so that the tunnel-inclusive PTYPE sets
are selected instead, which do contain the GTP PTYPEs.
Verified on E810 (kernel 7.2-rc2, COMMS DDP 1.3.63.0) by reading the RSS
hash from the Rx descriptor: GTP-U traffic varying only the TEID goes
from one constant hash on a single Rx queue to 4096 distinct hashes
across all Rx queues. The same holds for inner IPv6 (gtpu6) and for a
PDU session container extension header (gtpu4e); plain UDP flows are
unaffected.
