[dpdk-dev] Broken RSS hash computation on Intel 82574L

["Martin Drašar" <drasar@ics.muni.cz>]

Hi,

I am using RSS to get identical hash for both directions of a flow.
Everything is working as it should with the Intel 82599ES, but when I
run the same code with the Intel 82574L, then the hash is not calculated
correctly and returns 0 as a hash value for all flows.

I could use the Toeplitz hash implementation from 2.1.0, but I would
rather do it in hardware, because according to specification, 82574L can
do RSS in hardware.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Martin
