ixgbe: Enable setting RSS table to default values
[ Upstream commit e85d3d55875f7a1079edfbc4e4e98d6f8aea9ac7 ]
ethtool uses `ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS` to compute how many queues are supported
by RSS. The driver should return the smaller of either:
- The maximum number of RSS queues the device supports, OR
- The number of RX queues configured
Prior to this change, running `ethtool -X $iface default` fails if the
number of queues configured is larger than the number supported by RSS,
even though changing the queue count correctly resets the flowhash to
use all supported queues.
Other drivers (for example, i40e) will succeed but the flow hash will
reset to support the maximum number of queues supported by RSS, even if
that amount is smaller than the configured amount.
Prior to this change:
$ sudo ethtool -L eth1 combined 20
$ sudo ethtool -x eth1
RX flow hash indirection table for eth1 with 20 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
24: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
32: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
...
You can see that the flowhash was correctly set to use the maximum
number of queues supported by the driver (16).
However, asking the NIC to reset to "default" fails:
$ sudo ethtool -X eth1 default
Cannot set RX flow hash configuration: Invalid argument
After this change, the flowhash can be reset to default which will use
all of the available RSS queues (16) or the configured queue count,
whichever is smaller.
Starting with eth1 which has 10 queues and a flowhash distributing to
all 10 queues:
$ sudo ethtool -x eth1
RX flow hash indirection table for eth1 with 10 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8: 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
16: 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3
...
Increasing the queue count to 48 resets the flowhash to distribute to 16
queues, as it did before this patch:
$ sudo ethtool -L eth1 combined 48
$ sudo ethtool -x eth1
RX flow hash indirection table for eth1 with 16 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
...
Due to the other bugfix in this series, the flowhash can be set to use
queues 0-5:
$ sudo ethtool -X eth1 equal 5
$ sudo ethtool -x eth1
RX flow hash indirection table for eth1 with 16 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2
8: 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 0
16: 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3
...
Due to this bugfix, the flowhash can be reset to default and use 16
queues:
$ sudo ethtool -X eth1 default
$ sudo ethtool -x eth1
RX flow hash indirection table for eth1 with 16 RX ring(s):
0: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8: 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
16: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
...
