Re: [dpdk-dev] i40e mbuf->rss indication

["Hanoch Haim (hhaim)" <hhaim@cisco.com>]

Driver: i40e

DPDK : 17.11

Configuration : 

1)     RSS configuration 
       rxmode.mq_mode = ETH_MQ_RX_RSS;
       rss->rss_hf = ETH_RSS_UDP | ETH_RSS_TCP;
       rss->rss_key = Microsoft key 
       rss->rss_key_len = 52

       *configure RETA to some rx-queues

2)        Change hash to TOEPLITZ (only for i40e)

          struct rte_eth_hash_filter_info info = {};
          info.info_type = RTE_ETH_HASH_FILTER_GLOBAL_CONFIG;
          info.info.global_conf.hash_func = RTE_ETH_HASH_FUNCTION_TOEPLITZ;
          rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl(m_repid, 
                                  RTE_ETH_FILTER_HASH,
                                  RTE_ETH_FILTER_SET, &info);

3) Configure some flow-director rules 

4) TCP/UDP packets are received to the *right* core (based on a SW Toeplitz calculation +reta table) however
   The reported rss value is *wrong* in the mbuf 
  (m->hash.rss == *wrong value*)
  ((m->ol_flags&PKT_RX_RSS_HASH) == PKT_RX_RSS_HASH

5) The above works fine for mlx5 and ixgbe

6) I suspect the hash is something else, maybe flow-director id or xor hash ..

Wanted to know if this is a known issue. I can provide a simple way to reproduce it using TRex 

Thanks,
Hanoh

I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow the question, or the problem. Are you meaning to say that the hash value is incorrect, or that the flag is not being set or something else?
