> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net-next v8 1/2] ethtool: Add GTP RSS hash options to ethtool.h
>
> This is a patch that enables RSS functionality for GTP packets using ethtool.
>
> A user can include TEID and make RSS work for GTP-U over IPv4 by doing the
> following:`ethtool -N ens3 rx-flow-hash gtpu4 sde`
>
> In addition to gtpu(4|6), we now support gtpc(4|6),gtpc(4|6)t,gtpu(4|6)e,
> gtpu(4|6)u, and gtpu(4|6)d.
>
> gtpc(4|6): Used for GTP-C in IPv4 and IPv6, where the GTP header format does
> not include a TEID.
> gtpc(4|6)t: Used for GTP-C in IPv4 and IPv6, with a GTP header format that
> includes a TEID.
> gtpu(4|6): Used for GTP-U in both IPv4 and IPv6 scenarios.
> gtpu(4|6)e: Used for GTP-U with extended headers in both IPv4 and IPv6.
> gtpu(4|6)u: Used when the PSC (PDU session container) in the GTP-U extended
> header includes Uplink, applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6.
> gtpu(4|6)d: Used when the PSC in the GTP-U extended header includes Downlink,
> for both IPv4 and IPv6.
>
> GTP generates a flow that includes an ID called TEID to identify the tunnel.
> This tunnel is created for each UE (User Equipment).By performing RSS based on
> this flow, it is possible to apply RSS for each communication unit from the UE.
> Without this, RSS would only be effective within the range of IP addresses. For
> instance, the PGW can only perform RSS within the IP range of the SGW.
> Problematic from a load distribution perspective, especially if there's a bias
> in the terminals connected to a particular base station.This case can be
> solved by using this patch.

> v5->v6: Based on Marcin-san's review, Undoing the addition of unnecessary

> v6->v7 Based on Jakub-san's review, Split the patch.
> v7->v8: There are no code changes. I've resent the patch, including Marcin-san's
