Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 10:07:28 -0700	[thread overview]

Hi Ferruh,

The documentation for rte_eth_dev_configure() should get updated as
well to document this requirement to strip the unsupported RSS hash
function bits.  The current documentation only refers to the tx/rx
offload bits:

 *     -  Any offloading set in eth_conf->[rt]xmode.offloads must be within
 *        the [rt]x_offload_capa returned from rte_eth_dev_infos_get().
 *        Any type of device supported offloading set in the input argument
 *        eth_conf->[rt]xmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure() is enabled
 *        on all queues and it can't be disabled in rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup().

thanks
dan
