Subject: [PATCH] doc/guides: Mention needed kernel option for mlx5 multiport e-switch
Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2025 15:14:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA++ArTh+qoX6RDUSe6VzpxXmKCSd_YaL-Hmex6ec5ExY-r_qRA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 850 bytes --]

On some kernels (Debian 6.6, 6.9 and 6.10 tested),
there is a missing option for "TC recirculation"
that prevents MLX5 driver to include CONFIG_MLX5_CLS_ACT
in the compilation, thus preventing PF1
from properly working in multiport-eswitch mode.
