Dear Jesper,


Thank you very much for your patch.

When function igc_rx_hash() was introduced in v4.20 via commit 0507ef8a0372
("igc: Add transmit and receive fastpath and interrupt handlers"), the
hardware wasn't configured to provide RSS hash, thus it made sense to not
enable net_device NETIF_F_RXHASH feature bit.

The NIC hardware was configured to enable RSS hash info in v5.2 via commit
2121c2712f82 ("igc: Add multiple receive queues control supporting"), but
forgot to set the NETIF_F_RXHASH feature bit.

The original implementation of igc_rx_hash() didn't extract the associated
pkt_hash_type, but statically set PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3. The largest portions of
this patch are about extracting the RSS Type from the hardware and mapping
this to enum pkt_hash_types. This were based on Foxville i225 software user

s/This were/This was/

manual rev-1.3.1 and tested on Intel Ethernet Controller I225-LM (rev 03).

For UDP it's worth noting that RSS (type) hashing have been disabled both for
IPv4 and IPv6 (see IGC_MRQC_RSS_FIELD_IPV4_UDP + IGC_MRQC_RSS_FIELD_IPV6_UDP)
because hardware RSS doesn't handle fragmented pkts well when enabled (can
cause out-of-order). This result in PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3 for UDP packets, and

result*s*

hash value doesn't include UDP port numbers. Not being PKT_HASH_TYPE_L4, have
the effect that netstack will do a software based hash calc calling into
flow_dissect, but only when code calls skb_get_hash(), which doesn't
necessary happen for local delivery.

Excuse my ignorance, but is that bug visible in practice by users (performance?) or is that fix needed for future work?

Is it necessary to specficy the length of the return value, or could it be `unsigned int`. Using “native” types is normally more performant [1]. `scripts/bloat-o-meter` might help to verify that.
