When an user runs a flow create cmd to configure an RSS rule
without specifying the empty rss actions in testpmd, this mean
that the flow gets the default RSS functions. However, the
testpmd is not set the default RSS key incorrectly when RSS key
is specified in flow create cmd.

Now, it uses rte_eth_dev_rss_hash_conf_get to correctly the
default rss key.

Hi Lijun,

I think it works. 
When we create an RSS flow rule which doesn't specify any 'rss-hash-key', the 'rss-hash-key' will be updated with the default key.

Step 1:
testpmd> show port 0 rss-hash key
RSS functions:
 all ipv4-frag ipv4-other ipv6-frag ipv6-other ip
RSS key:
4439796BB54C5023B675EA5B124F9F30B8A2C03DDFDC4D02A08C9B334AF64A4C05C6FA343958D8557D99583AE138C92E81150366

Step 2: 
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end actions rss types ipv4-udp end queues end / end
Flow rule #0 created

Step 3:
testpmd> show port 0 rss-hash key
RSS functions:
 all ipv4-udp udp
RSS key:
74657374706D6427732064656661756C74205253532068617368206B65792C206F7665727269646520697420666F722062657474

Phil

Yes, However, it is not the default value that users use when testpmd 
starts. This may mislead users. When the driver is initialized, the 
default key used by the driver is provided for users. The key varies 
according to the DPDK vendor.However, after the DPDK is initialized, if 
the user runs the flow create command without specifying the rss key, 
the driver obtains another default key value, which may be different 
from the default value expected by the user.

It needs a dummy key.

Hi, Phil Yang
    Yes, I've reviewed the patch("a4391f8bae85 - app/testpmd: set 
default RSS key as null") and read all other people's comments.
However, the patch has been reverted in V2 and restored to the orginal 
states.  The link as follows:
https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/47961/
I also don't think the key_len parameter is very profitable
for users to configure.  Others say that other optimizations will be 
considered later. Do you have any plans?

I got your point now.
Your patch makes testpmd using the valid NIC default RSS hash key as the flow rule default RSS, is that right?

The patch looks good to me. Please fix the typo in your commit message and make it more accurate.
For example, you can put the cmd line and the expected output in the commit message.

I have no plans for it now.

Thanks,
Phil

Yes. Recently, I've been further testing the patch. I found the other 
question. When I create a flow with RSS by used the following cmd.
testpmd>flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions rss types ipv4-tcp end 
/ end

next, I run flow flush 0 and re-create a flow with RSS
testpmd> flow flush 0
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions rss types ipv4-tcp end

As a result, the key is 0 by show port rss-hash key because it needs to 
memset 0 for rss_info when flush

Thanks
