Subject: net/mlx5e: Modify TIRs hash only when it's needed
From: Gal Pressman <galp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1d3398facd08a7fd4202f269317a95668eb880b9 upstream.
We don't need to modify our TIRs unless the user requested a change in
the hash function/key, for example when changing indirection only.
Tested:
# Modify TIRs hash is needed
ethtool -X ethX hkey <new key>
ethtool -X ethX hfunc <new func>
# Modify TIRs hash is not needed
ethtool -X ethX equal <new indirection table>
All cases are verified with TCP Multi-Stream traffic over IPv4 & IPv6.
Fixes: bdfc028de1b3 ("net/mlx5e: Fix ethtool RX hash func configuration change")
