I don't think this patch makes sense since you're changing rss_hf which will break current test cases. > And before 8205e241b2b01c, the command is what we want. port_rss_hash_key_update(portid_t port_id, uint8_t *hash_key) only updates key. > > But if mlx has the configuration of config key for each rss_type then the code should remain to the current code in which keylen and rss_hf will be overridden to the correct value intel wants and mlx has their own configuration for specific rss type. > But to be honest, I checked mlx5. I don't see they have this kind of configuration.

Otherwise, remain what it's like wight now. For the main branch, we could revert 8205e241b2b01c0, but in my opinion, we need to keep the hash_key_length otherwise it could lead to out of bounds accesses if the key passed by the user is shorter than the key length in use by the driver. Note that it would also imply changes in the DTS and CIs tests that make use of this command. We would also need to introduce a new command to be able to set the rss hash types, and rename the existing one to be key- specific. Otherwise we have no way with testpmd to configure RSS properly. Given there does not seem to have any driver that leverages RSS HF/Key pairs, maybe the simple thing is to just do what I did in this patch. For stable, I don't think this is a good idea to change testpmd commands, as it could break users setups.
