    igc: Enable and fix RX hash usage by netstack · 84214ab4
    Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
    When function igc_rx_hash() was introduced in v4.20 via commit 0507ef8a
    ("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
    2121c271 ("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 was based on Foxville i225 software user
    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 results in PKT_HASH_TYPE_L3 for UDP packets, and
    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.
    
    For QA verification testing I wrote a small bpftrace prog:
