Subject: RE: [PATCH] bnx2x: add support for receive hashing
Let me rephrase: the part of your patch below enables RSS flow in our FW even if there is only one HW queue and I wonder why?
To refresh:
1) FW won't provide Toeplitz hash on CQE if RSS is not enabled.
2) There can be one HW queue in only 2 cases:
- There is only one CPU in the system. In that case I wonder if u have anything to do with Toeplitz hash on the skb at all.
- User has explicitly requested 1 HW queue with module parameter (num_queues=1). In that case if u r going to use the RSS hash on the skb means that u r actually going to do SW RSS instead of HW RSS, which sounds strange to me.
So, Herbert, could u, pls., explain, what was your original idea about these code lines?
Thanks,
vlad
