Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Add support for rx flow hash configuration in a network device
Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:06:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48658078.8030707@Sun.COM> (raw)
Added new interface to ethtool to configure receive network flow
classification. This patch adds support for flow distribution using
hashing where the device can be configured with the fields in the
receive packet to hash onto one of the multiple Rx rings.
This feature has 3 related patches:
1. An ethtool application patch.
2. A kernel patch for the ethtool interface.
3. A kernel patch for the niu driver that implements the ethtool config
ioctl functions. NOTE: The niu driver already has rx flow hashing
implemented. With these 3 patches, this feature is now configurable
using ethtool.
Thanks!
